  1. I'm not talking about this guy in particular, and the DMCA is so prone to abuse that using it is almost as bad as the guy himself. Are you guys sure you want litigation to be your solution?
  2. Being honest, there is little we can do about this particular matter, you can contact that website to let them know how you feel about the whole issue, but they can just ignore you or simply put, not even believe you. There is, as far as I know, not a single foolproof system in place to prevent this kind of issue. And the internet is huge and always changing. Such a system could exist in the future, we are starting to see how it is growing right now. Because the only solution, in my opinion, is a way to digitally sign mods with digital certificates provided by certificate authorities. And then, the modeable games would have to implement a centralized system of mod and user validation, and then... This is the actual situation of the requirement to digitally sign Windows 10 x64 kernel mode drivers with EV Certificates, this certificates cost a lot of money anually and even involve lawyers and having a registered bussiness. If you don't do it that way, Windows will not even try to load your drivers. There are many steps required to really make sure modders are treated with the respect and recognition they all obviously deserve, but the world is filled with shady people, and so they all point in the direction of actually having to enforce them on all users. So, for now, the only thing we can all do is to keep doing what we do, make mods, for whatever reason we might do it, and don't really bother ourselves with this problem, because there is really nothing we can do. Unless you actually want to police the entire internet, and you have the time to check every single mod site, looking for uploads that might be infringing on your copyrights and making sure they all know you are always vigilant, demanding the recognition you deserve for your hard work. And you should be able to present undeniable evidence of your authorship, by the way. Anyhow, this was me ranting about all this, thanks again payl0ad for giving me a heads up about "your files are gettiing stolen", for a moment you almost scared the bejesus out of me. Regards, and happy modding.
  3. In response to post #45635370. I don't use adblockers, never had an issue with the nexus, if anything this is one of the most clean sites on the internet, maybe the ad-providers just don't like you, you can always clean your browser's cookie jar :)
