The Armory #2 on VS?? (by WIntermuteai1)
themaltesebippy:
He made a moving motorcycle from Mickyss' mesh and though he gave credit, he wouldn't give the link to the original mesh because "he doesn't advertise other sites." What a dick.
Dark Trepie:
Ah, but you forget. He made MTS2 what it is today. As he pointed out several times in that Idiot-fest of a 9 page thread. ::)
Motoki:
Uh, has he been there lately? I don't think 'making MTS2 what it is today' is anything to brag about. :P

Sorry, I am... but I'm anal :)
I honestly could care less about all the legalese stuff. Believe me I've seen more 'copyright' arguments than I can remember. Nothing good ever comes of them and no one ever 'wins' them though both sides are inevitably convinced of their correctness. Personally, I don't really care what you can or cannot do legally (which btw no matter what anyone says or what references they use, there doesn't ever seem to be unanimous agreement on this) I just think the whole thing is stupid and pointless for what's supposed to be a fun hobby.
What it boils down to for me is, are people making stuff because they want to be creative and share, or are they making things to promote themselves and/or their site, to get credit and some sort of internet fame, or in some cases even money? For a hobby, I feel like it should be the former but it all too often seems to end up being the latter.
Maybe I am just lax or free-thinking or whatever, but when I've made custom content for games it never occured to me to use the word 'copyright' or give people some long disclaimer. Once you've got so many stipulations on your work that the person who downloads it feels like they practically have to sign a waver what the hell's the point?
I think most people are generally respectful and don't need people to tell them how to behave courteously, but at the same time there are a lot of kids and otherwise immature people online and in the gaming communities and everyone who releases their work needs to be aware of this and to be able to deal with it. You can post all the copyrights in the world but the cops are not going to run and slap the handcuffs on some 10 year old kid because they uploaded your lipstick shade for the The Sims 2 on EA's public site.

Money, obviously. Do you realize how much it adds up when all you people are paying me $29.95/month? Of course, not everyone can be as awesome as me...
