In response to post #24608229. The lack of people understanding this is astounding.

In response to post #24608314. Do people not understand Legal reasons?

In response to post #24608319. The sad truth?

In response to post #24607469. No because the modders have no legal play in the site other than their works being advertised here, and if the site was profiting off traffic and donations then it's doing nothing wrong because that's the purpose of the Host Site.

I've been making comments on the steam forum about the legal complications and what modders can do to counter this all day and still haven't got banned, which is surprising.

Well surely valve won't go into the mod and take out everything that was created by someone else.

In response to post #24603119. #24603684 is also a reply to the same post. Essentially if every person who made a mod were to sought out a copy right, they could infact sue Valve, before it was taken down ofcourse.

Legal Reasons why, the Nexus is basically a Hosting Site, you advertise your mod on this site, and the site makes money off traffic and donations, so in-order to keep the Nexus quiet from any liability from legal reasons, they have to accept some sort of portion if the authors sought to profit off the work as well.

In response to post #24603219. #24603519 is also a reply to the same post. That's not how it works lol

I support the nexus through this incident and I will continue to laugh at people getting pissed off at Nexus trying to "profit" off the paid mods thing. Because advertising a large file on a site has to be free.... Right guys?
