Easy answer for that...sue them!

But! It hasn't happened yet, I wonder why. Where is the proof? I wanna see it. That company has not been sued yet as far as I know, their products are still out there in the stores. Danlisa you got no right to judge this, so be careful. Let's call them suspects instead...until we see a verdict from a court of law.

However I don't think we will see that, this case is probably not serious enough to end up there.

We cannot sue them. They have Ubi´s permission to mod the files, no matter if G-d him/herself made the mod, they can take it and use it as long as they have ubi´s permission. They havent done anything illegal, but what they did was morally wrong.

And why it is so hard to take a look at the thread, where modders identify that there are their mods used?? Open your eyes ffs!

Where in my post have I judged them? I have not called them thieves or accused them of stealing. Now if you want to imply that from what I have written then that is up to you.

This has been done for me, did you read this from your other thread?

There was also an official investigation by Subsim staff into this matter before the first SW release when it was concluded that it is a scam.

We are not more strict than before. It´s just that some people had accumulated several warnings, they still didn´t get it and did something stupid again, so they got suspended or banned.

damn it ,i know seth 'he just started skinning some subs and now this happens ...bad luck i presume' '

Subwolf 11-07-06 10:46 AM

That's correct Admiral Dowly! They haven't done anything illegal by the law, and that's why I have been defending their products...because they are good. But we also got the wonderful GWX-team, and they will release the "same" product, for free :up:

Why would someone say that he illegally downloaded something when he actually bought it? :o

What you say here Warmonger can be a bit confusing. He said that he downloaded it but didn't pay for it.

And HunterICX, to be honest...that's what I believe too, that he lied about the download to have something behind him when he wanted to tell me what a bad product it is.

But it's still piracy talk, and if this was the second time he broke the laws in here, well...

Jeg er også norsk, var synd for deg Seth. Jeg kunne se at du likte deg her, beklager.

I found it more confusing what HunterICX said:

'So he admitted he Downloaded the Expansion pack (piracy)
but how to proof it? he could lie about it just to stronger his words'

So I admit to have downloaded sth but actually I didn't. But still I know the game/expansion in more detail. What other options are there? Either you buy it or you get it through 'darker' channels.
Or did you mean that he pretended to know it but actually didn't ever play it?

Like if u are with the guys

and they are talking about a group of chicks that you saw last night in the club.
now they are curious how to would be in bed...you just lie about ''I banged that blondies sister last night, that was great'' the others might then be confinced they are good in bed ;)

So in Seths case of a lie, for example

He didnt have the Expansion pack.
Subwolf says the ones that dont have it dont know sh!t about it
Seth wants to proof he is right that the Expansion sucks
well, he can tell ''I have buyed a copy bla bla bla''
but Set thinks this ''What will others think of me when I bought it?'' he expects negative results.

Seth doesnt want that to happend he wanted to stay on a Cool/neutral level. you know keep his head high.
''Well I downloaded the pack and its full of spyware bla bla bla''
seth thinks:
1. the anti-SW side will think: See what seth said, it sucks he tried it but also he didnt support he producer
he forgot about the other side:
2. the Pro-SW side sais: He is a pirate!, how could you download something you think it sucks in the first place bla bla.
And he didnt remember that Piracy is a stab in the heart on this comunity:
3. Mod: Sees a piracy act one of the members , breaking the forum rules and bans him.

I dont care if seth lied or indeed has the mod pirated from the internet.

Well what seth said I will refer as a foolish act. especially when most of us know piracy is not to be spoken about keep your HD private. we dont wanna know what you do with the internet.

now the perm ban:

I find it too hard, now I dont know what happend in August, his posts dont go further then September. at least that are the ones I can find on his profile.
Also, he mention that he downloaded the expansion, ok?! did he in anyway promote the expansion while we know better not to do the same, he didnt said where he got it from, nor he shared files of it.

''He Said that he downloaded it''
Reason to perm ban it for it?
No
Temp Ban? Yes, and double the days in the brig then the last time he was in it.

''He said that he downloaded it and posted a link where to get it from''
Thats a reason to perm ban him.

because still we are human beeing , sometimes we screw up by a dumb action. nobody is hurt or has been insulted. we are dissapointed that he said those things but the punishment is just Way to hard

HunterICX

sorry for some gramar mistakes or spelling, but I hope a clarify my other post a bit.

Warmonger 11-07-06 10:49 AM

Ok, Hunter, now I got your intention. Sorry for misinterpreting your original post.;)

YES BUT THEY STOLE FREE MODS AND SOLD THEM!!!! WITHOUT PERMISSION!!!

And please tell me, what you mean by this "because they are good."?

Good like they havent broken the law?

Good modders?

I cant find a single good thing about their product (well, of course the great mods made by the COMMUNITY).

Like you said in the other thread, people have opinions. This is my opinion, based on findings of the modders here in SubSim.

Subwolf 11-07-06 10:59 AM

Danlisa, yes I did read that. But if I was a lawyer I couldn't use that as evidence...that's my point.

It's the moral side of this that hurts you, and I understand that, as I have told you before.

AVGWarhawk 11-07-06 11:13 AM

Man this thread went a-rye. Seems that Seth has bought the final out. Two wrongs do not make a right. X1 steals + Seth piracy=right? Not in my book. Anyway how about a three strike rule?

There is a three strike rule for most rule violations, but not for all. Some violations are worse than others.

FIREWALL 11-07-06 11:22 AM

Go look at thread Silent Hunter Monday 11-4-06 :hmm:

The tap danceing done around "The Rule" would make Fred Astaire proud.

There was no tap dancing around "The Rule". I had contacted ASWnut via PM and asked for an explanation.

Hi! Please explain what that means...

My friend is going to download it (pay, not piracy version), and I will pay him back:yep:


Respenus 11-07-06 11:34 AM

Can't SETH just make another account. Sir Big Jugs has (I havne't seem him in quite some time, where are you mate?) after his first account was banned. I remember him posting clearly that he had around 600 posts in his previous banned account. All Seth has to do, is create another account and come back a hero (of sorts, depends on the person).
