Iamimpossibru Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 What's most cute about this thread atm is that Copyright law doesn't apply to the fabrication of game assets. You don't have copyright licensing. You own nothing. Period. The only copy enforcement is through the administration of this website, who chooses to protect what their users would like to consider their intellectual rights. In reality you have none. But Nexus protects you. If this person wanted, he could just upload his mod somewhere else, and be 100% able to. JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherameyn Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Well, you are right... and you aren't. From what I remember without reading it up again: Something that hasn't been published or has been protected by any other means (ie. patent) falls under "intellectual rights".In the real, non-digital world that means that you won't be able to enforce your "rights of owning something" anywhere. At least no country I know of. Which is why --usually-- communities try and protect "ownership" of any "intellectual property". That doesn't only extend to game assets, but to anything you can find digitally (=on the Internet). Copyright in the real world is a bit more fickle and the enforcement varies from country to country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorKaizeld Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 My point was that Bethesda protects the modders with their own copyright. They clearly say that you can't just take someone elses mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
