This whole thing is BULL S____


=BLW=PabloSniper Was doing EVERYBODY... YES EVERYBODY here a favor by attempting to combine PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE MODS.. into an easy to use package..


-He did not try to benefit commercially... he provided everything he did for free..

-He did not take credit for anybody's work... In fact he gave due credit..

-Under US copyright laws (And internationals laws I am sure).. what he did is called 'fair and free use' and does NOT need to ask anybody's permission... and this would apply if the material WAS copyrighted... which it isn't.. (This would all be different if was commercially used in any way... which it was not)


I find it VERY IRONIC... maybe even HYPOCRITICAL.. that on a website like this... which arguably began as a portal for illegal hacks to the IL2 series of games.. the very people who hacked IL2 now complain that somehow they were wronged by fair use of what they made available to the public..

Some of these immature egos need to get over it..

I have made many skins and several templates for this game.. and posted them for use... I am NOT surprised when people use them..... and I don't need every user to play 'Hail to the Chief' every time they use the work I made available for everybody.. In a non commercial use..CREDIT or acknowledgment of the original creator is a common courtesy... not some cosmic, all encompassing requirement..

IF YOU DON'T WANT EVERYBODY TO USE YOUR WORK... DON'T POST IT!!!!!!!!


=BLW=PabloSniper Thank you for your effort.. I think you did good!

Absolutely true.
The best answer to such a type of complain I've read in years!
My hat off. (BTW, are you a lawyer?)

Cheers!

My sister, brother in law, and my last squadron commander are... and generally speaking... I don't care for lawyers!
