That is exactly what I am saying. It's like Wikipedia - anyone is entitled to edit an article that you have written, because there's no law against it. Same thing applies here. When you release work, you release it into the public domain with no disclaimer and no legal rights. Anybody is legitimately allowed to use it for any purpose, and may omit credit to the original author without reprisal. It might be frowned upon, but it's certainly not against the rules.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS
When Gpgames started about 10 years ago we would have kicked your ass already. The Golden Years in Ye Olde Phorum were anarchy and "property" was being regarded as theft.

I think the problem is that you're assuming a forum is a democracy. It is not - the mods are in charge, and rules is rules. If you don't like it, tough.
I'm sure it is annoying having your work copied, or not being credited, or whatever, but you're not going about things the right way - if you deal with it maturely, people will treat you appropriately. If not, don't expect people to run to your aid. The same goes for real life - i'd suggest reading up on what a vexatious litigant is
Seriously, just go away from your computer and have a drink, or something. Some perspective always helps.

Jeeeez is this thread still going on?! My popcorn has gone stale and I've run out of coca cola.
Jorge.
I made work for GP4.
I put it on the internet under MY name for FREE to be DOWNLOADED.
Therefore, I made it open to anyone to take, edit, use in the game, modify whatever. Even if I asked not to, I can't STOP people doing it. It isn't illegal.
If I download your work now, and re-release it under my name, what can you do? Nothing. It is not a crime, I can do it. Everyone can.
The only thing wrong is MORALS. It isn't the law. It isn't a crime. It is just morally and wrongly justified.
Now, had I paid many, many, many HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of pounds to copyright what I did; let alone pay all those other copyrighted logos and brands used in my work, then I could have a point.
Unfortunately, I didn't.
In putting something up for free public download, it is there to take, and people will take more than they should.
Jorge, you have taken something which isn't your own in the first place - the game - the edit and modify. Did you ask permission to edit the game? No.
And now someone edits your work, or whatever, you complain.
Leeching and stealing happens. You can't do something yourself and then complain someone else is doing the same.
I know by now you are crying another 'but I didn't steal peoples work as my own'. You edited the game, or parts for a game WITHOUT PERMISSION. The same category as RIPPING SOMEONES WORK again WITHOUT PERMISSION. Same thing.
YES it is your work, you did it, but unless you PAY for it to be copyrighted, and you stop making it FREELY available then it will happen. And again. And again. Nobody can stop that.
Unless you copyright it and pay.
Sure, it sucks. It isn't nice to have your work ripped by someone else, but that is what it will do unless you pay for copyright.
What would you do suddenly if Bridgestone came down on you and sued you for using their logo without permission...?
Look at the film making industry.... some English and Creative students submit film ideas to companies to get themselves heard. It is a student's original work, and they show it to someone.
There is nothing stopping someone hearing that idea, and then making the movie without the student, because his idea was NOT copyrighted.
Same thing.
You want it protected? You pay for it to be.

He wasn't there in the good old days either. I came here May 2001 and I wasn't the first. It was a wonderful place when I joined. We shared all and everything without asking for credits. Acting like a prima donna was only allowed when you were a supernatural being (and we all were in the beginning) or if you linked to a pic showing a blue whale's tongue up yours.

Jorge please stop sending me private messages congratulating me on helping you to get banned.
I am not out to do this, what is the point? We all are here trying to make you see sense, and show how you acting incorrectly over this situation.
We know what you are saying, but it does not work.
You will only get banned for using bad language, which you have done.
I understand your point, it is your work.
But the thing is, you CAN'T legally stop people doing it.
The gpg mods can't stop people doing it, because it is legal.
Why would they waste time policing and monitoring something that isn't against any illegal rules?
There isn't, so they won't.
The mods are annoyed because you are trying to make them do something they do not have to.
And when you are told they aren't doing anything, you curse.
The only way you will be banned is flaming, cursing, and being generally abusive at being told what the rules are here.
If you do not like the rules here, then you should not continue being a member here.
This is the club; and these are the rules.

Close topic.
Who are you to tell me how to my job?

Jorge, did you tried to talk via PM or e-mail with BB, without attacking him, in friendly ways?
Jorge, we can sort this out in a peaceful way, without getting aggressive and swearing and angry! 
It is the best way.
