Copyright laws are not "BS" as you so eloquently put it. They're laws, and must be followed. If you don't like the current laws, write to your government.
LordGrievous Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) The Nexus doesn't like getting caught up in copyright disputes. Even if the staff here believed that copyright laws are BS, they're based in the United States(I think?) and would prefer not to have their website taken down or face other legal action.

aikirob Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) this is the f***ing internet, there are no laws here, LONG LIVE TPB Edited November 24, 2015 by aikirob
Dhegonus Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 actually, internet sites are bound by the laws of the country the server the website is hosted on, i do believe. Just because it is on the internet, does not mean you are free from the law. That is just childish ignorance.
badpeoplesuck Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I am confused here. Wasn't there a Zelda MOD for Skyrim that is still up, and music replacers from Zelda WInd Waker still on here. Why was this particular one taken down? There is also a Fallout 3 Zelda MOD that gives you Link's clothing. Why is clothing stuff Fair Use, but not sounds? I don't get it. Edited November 24, 2015 by badpeoplesuck
bben46 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 this is the f***ing internet, there are no laws here, LONG LIVE TPBTell that to Kim Dotcom. If you really have no clue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_DotcomHis home in New Zealand was raided and he was persecuted for copyright infringement - millions of dollars were lost and thousands of innocent people lost all their legal uploaded content because he thought copyright laws didn't matter on the internet. Still going on - he still may go to prison - for copyright infringement. :yes: And if you still have no clue - check on what happened to the original founders of TPB - Every one of them served prison time and paid huge fines - For copyright infringement.We really don't want to see the founder of The Nexus in jail and Nexus shut down. So we ban for copyright infringement and piracy. NO excuses accepted.

The people who should have been punished were those who were uploading data in the process of torrent data exchange and thus by uploading it, creating an illigal copy of the media in question. Helding (for example) Nexus owner responsible for what someone put onto the service, is stupid, stupid law, that more and more countries corporations try to shove in, despite it being about as logical as helding the landowner responsible for the guy who rented the house and then commited the murder in it. Completely agree on everything else tho, and if someone wants to make (for instance) mod that changes sounds to Mario-like, he should at least produce the sound himslef, from scratch. And better yet, make them distinct from original. Re-typing a book into Open Office and then printing it is still piracy. [edit]a thought striked me just now... if i take an Fallout 4 sound clip and modify it to replace the original (like i did with the Super Sledge ilde sound (humm-crackle-humm-crackle-crackle. jesus. it was like a neurosurgeon was scooping out parts of my brain)) i technically broke copyright laws, right?

TakaraPRG Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but the copywrite would only be an issue if the modder was profiting from these mods correct? I mean the company(nintendo) could issue a cease and desist if they like which you would be bound to listen to. But so long as he wasn't profiting from the mod I'm not sure there would be much of an issue. BUT....better safe then sorry for the website which I understand.
