bruh that's a stolen mod
====================
What do you consider stolen? Someone grabbing the link of a mod shared here and putting it on their own site? If it's not being sold and if they don't remove the credits, I don't see a problem with it. I'm actually thinking of making a website and adding a downloads section with all the mods I've been collecting. Is that stolen? You guys need to understand that here, despite the need to be registered to participate in the forum, it's a place where anyone, from anywhere in the world, has access and can download and enjoy the updates. If it's available here, there's no reason to complain if A or B make the downloaded mod available on their own site, again, as long as they maintain the credits of the authors, or else, don't make it available. These complaints are a waste of time, if GPRace were selling the mods, I would agree, but everything there is free and in the same way, mods not produced by Thiago are referenced. Besides Fogun's blog, I don't see any other site that provides all the modifications in one place. Here we have to fish through the posts.
I am defending Thiago, the judgment is misguided. F1 Virtual also provides many tracks. What do I have to do, send a presidential letter requesting authorization to use in a mod? Authorization? If it's available on social media, it's freely accessible to anyone. I don't feel comfortable asking for authorization from anyone on this forum to use a car, track, or whatever modification, if it's available to anyone, there's no need. There is indeed a great deal of preciousness and a lot of vanity in these cases. The other day I saw a post where a member was waiting for authorization to launch the mod made by him here on the forum. That's hilarious. Give credit where it's due? OK. But asking for authorization? For me, that's too much! If you don't want people to use it without "authorization," don't make it available or put passwords on the files, right?
And responding to what was said above: Stolen to me is taking a mod and changing the authors.
