For personal use it's fine. If you were to distribute it you would need to contact the original creator, unless their download page states you can share/modify their work.

Any modding is legal as long as you don't make money from it.

 

But using other people's work without permission is looked down upon for obvious reasons.

Im not "using" it. Im not uploading it anywhere. Its not apart of a bigger mod, like KOTF. I know that has a very bad reputation.

Was just answering your question. Wasn't accusing you of anything.

What if someone took a skin from KOTF then edited it and wants to upload here. Is that legal?

None of the skins in KOTF were made by the modder who put KOTF together - it is a mod made up from work stolen by other modders. You would need the permission of the original creator not that Tim guy. Which skin did you plan to edit?

Why ANYONE would wanna use anything from KOTF is beyond me, asking around MB2 would be better as it has everything KOTF had and more, with actual permission!

I loved the kaminoan skin so much. What if i couldn't find the original author of that skin?

Couldn't find it. What do you think eezstreet, is that legal if i post my edited version of that skin here?

You'll need to find the original author of it. Pretty sure there's a Kaminoan model from MB2. Maybe it's the same.
