he didn't get that offering copyrighted material for download already is copyright infringement, now did he?

I agree with Erick_Castro. You guys are being childish. If it is copyrighted material, you tell the person once and that's it. You don't have to download it and use it if you don't want to. Or, if you're really that upset about it, go tell the copyright owner or the company that represents the copyright owner. And then be done with it. Peace.

Many of you are influenced for the Culture of Fear

i'm not upset about it, i'm not going to download em and frankly put, i really don't care. just saying that uploading copyrighted stuff already is against the law. ain't me to get into a lawsuit.

yes, yes , yes, boys, mama is going to punish you.

Do not worry - Im not going to download the models..

There was no "personal attack" All I was trying to say is that I was insulted by his remark - and wanted to put it out there;


The way I see it, is If I don't say how I feel - who will?
My opinion does matter - as does everyone elses.
Posting his contribution here gives me / us that right to do so.

I really don't understand you.

You post models without any explanation about possible usage, then you get mad and insult me when I ask you about possible usage, after that you say that they are open source, then when I ask you about the open source license agreements for them(they all vary from case to case) you get mad and insult me again.

If you post something for download on forum you should always make clear if files are your own work or, if they are not, who's work they are and how they can be used. And that's all. Nothing more.

And this issue is not about few models from Quake II, it's about normal communication skills and respecting the legality of forum content. We could all easily put illegally riped models from number of games for download or just exchange P2P links or torrents but I think this would not be o.k. There are places for that but I think this forum should not be one of them.

I like Erick_Castro. He makes me laugh. What more can you ask of a person? Nothing. He might be fun to hang out with.

I don't think you should encourage him PigHunter..

Hes been rude and unkind as it is.

Oh, deal with it. Don't be sissies. I have to deal with this kind of crap almost every day. Quake 2 models are obviously not copyrighted anymore.
