That's a hell of an old tactic, didn't know anyone bothered trying that these days. As for why - there's always some that will see it's a link and click it blindly without reading any info that shows up.

Some companies allow the use of their content, normally as long as it's not charged for. Other companies refuse outright and may take action if they find out someone has used their work without permission (removal requests/DMCA orders, etc). Some are 50/50 - they'll allow the use of "some" stuff, but not others, this is usually due to contract restrictions, or them having used third party material themselves (with permission). Good example of thatis games that use licensed music - they have permission, or have paid to use band's music. That doesn't permit someone that owns a copy of that game, to take the music from it and use it in another game as a distributed mod just because they want to. You need permission from either the game devs, the music artist/band (or their producers) - on in some cases, both. Take GTA and it's radio stations as the example - Rockstar paid to use all that music for their ingame radio stations. You taking that music, putting it in say, Fallout 4 or Cyberpunk 2077 and sharing it online without their written consent is when it becomes a copyright violation and content piracy. If you ask a company if you can use their content and they don't respond, or do but say "no" - then that's it, you legally can't use it. You need a clear and confirmed "yes" on the matter. Also helps if you can prove you have permission. -and as others have said, just because other people have done it and they've not been removed yet doesn't mean we allow it. We can't check every upload as they happen, so we do indeed rely on people reporting mods they believe are breaking the site rules. So "but others are doing it" is not an accepted excuse or reason complain when a file is removed. Site users are expected to have read and understand our site rules and policies, they are very clear on the matter of using copyright material. https://help.nexusmods.com/article/28-file-submission-guidelines

Should've called himself DumDumm...

Couldn't find the one pictured with a quick search, only thing along similar lines (spikes + cross) was this: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/14269? If I stumble on it and you're still looking I'll drop a link.

Specifically when he was told he couldn't do whatever he wanted with it should it violate the regulations of countries it was being used in. Why'd you think he's so "anti-EU"? He doesn't like the fact they can rule to block his toy out should it become enough of a problem.

Doesn't excuse stealing other people's work.

Removed due to lack of permission for included content.

My bet? Mix of an ego trip and for information control.

Sometimes the stupid outweighs the cowardace. Not for long, but sometimes just enough to make their day a hell of a lot worse off afterwards.

It's probably better people like that don't encounter others directly. It wouldn't be good for their health, or the blood pressure of anyone that ends up dealing with them.

Unfortunately, there's been a repeated creation of a certain file page (FPS booster) that's the cause of this. It contains a link to download the disguised malware from an off-site source and people keep falling for it. We remove the page and ban the uploader, but as with most annoyances they keep returning with new accounts (newly created, or using a stolen one) to repeat their attempts to spread this trash. If people would be a bit more careful about what they download this wouldn't be as big an issue as it is, but not everyone's as cautious as they should be or know what signs to look for.

Anti CCP rant. Removed, since it's just there to cause more trouble. His comment in the notice looks off because it's missing the non-engllish part, he was posting between two for some reason. Full thing:

I can see the notices you were sent (see attached image) - Why I said you should have read them, the section under the bit you did notice says you should use the forums. As for others doing - they shouldn't be either and they do get removed when we see them.

If you'd read the removal notice that appeared when you next checked in on site, you'd have seen the message left by a moderator telling you to use the forums for mod requests, not the imageshare.

Hell knows. That's twice now I've had to deal with that, from two entirely different people. Edit: Add this to the list of odd uploads.
