Stolen Content on ModDB: TFU Pack

[swegmaster]

So are people gonna get on ModDB and report this content? It's been uploaded by the same guy who stole Jeff's BB-8 and Zappa_0's Shadow Guard here, which should be reported as well: http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-academy/addons/tfu-pike-saber

 

There's more stolen mods on ModDB however, this isn't the only one. People should find and put links to stolen content found on ModDB.

Oh for f***s sake....The guy doesn't give up, does he?

This "pack"was uploaded on the 8th of January, 2016, long before he gave up on the Jedi Academy Unleashed mod of stolen content.

Wow that's a lot, I'm always suspicious when they call it a pack with no images or description.

I think this topic should be renamed simply as "Stolen Content on ModDB", because that's a big problem. Maybe we could use this topic to post more

"illegal" uploads. For example, somebody uploaded @@Sentra's SkyLine menu: http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-academy/addons/swg-skyline-ui

 

But that's not enough, there is far more out there. Some random people, who are clearly NOT the original authors, are uploading stuff from this site to ModDB.

I could understand if they were trying to preserve lost content from JK3Files or PCGamemods, but this is awful. They download our files, they claim they made it,

and get the credit for it.

 

I'm not really into ModDB, but if I remember correctly, the members are getting points for uploaded content, right? Well, if you think about that there are members who didn't

even made the things they uploaded, that's a cruel joke.

 

I think we should all take a look at these sections:

 

Files:

http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-academy/downloads

http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-knight-ii/downloads

 

Addons:

http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-academy/addons

http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-knight-ii/addons

 

Mods:

http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-academy/mods

http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-knight-ii/mods

 

If someone finds fishy content, it should be posted here.

To be honest the Skyline upload contains the original readme and the actual authors, although the license in the original file on JKHub mentions that it can't be shared or modified without permission.

As you can see, those uploaders are doing it anyway. They collect files from this and similar sites and upload them like a conveyor belt.

As you can see, a lot of recent reuploads. Pretty sure many of them are not allowed by the mods' licences.

Most of the files have been uploaded by this dude. He is #2 on ModDB and he have like 55k of activity points. I guess it's cool to reupload everything on ModDB even if the files are present there .

 

PS: let's see the response from our reuploader here (if there will be any of course).
