PJS1488 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Does anyone know what happened to this mod, why it's suddenly gone? It is, hands down, the BEST weapons mod for FO4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJS1488 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd like to know how a software company can have a copyright claim on digital models of existing, real world items? Copyright law is absolute BS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonmatrix Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd like to know how a software company can have a copyright claim on digital models of existing, real world items? Copyright law is absolute BS!Because it takes effort and time to create the models and textures for these weapons. Rather than taking their own time to create their own art, they went and grabbed it without permission from elsewhere. The copyright isn't held on the object being reproduced but rather the art itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgamer468 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd like to know how a software company can have a copyright claim on digital models of existing, real world items? Copyright law is absolute BS!So youre suggesting that everyone should be allowed to steal every model of objects only because they exist in real life? doesnt make too much sence, does it?

Deleted4363562User Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd like to know how a software company can have a copyright claim on digital models of existing, real world items? Copyright law is absolute BS!Devs and Publishers pay many firearms companies for rights to use their products' likeness in a game. That's sometimes why you won't see a particular firearm in a scenario where you should see it; the publishers either could not afford the rights or they weren't granted them outright. This is my understanding of the industry anyway. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copyright law is absolute BS!So youre suggesting that everyone should be allowed to steal every model of objects only because they exist in real life? doesnt make too much sence, does it? Its more nuanced than that. The only thing you can't outright reproduce about a weapon's likeness are the trademark stamps. It's why in some games you'll see the AK47 or the MP5 with funny names and none of the proper markings on them. Beyond that there are plenty of loopholes you can use. The weapon can look -nearly- the same as the real world (See Metal Gear Solid 5) counterpart. This is how many real world clones of weapons get away with being clones. Then there's the fact that some are such ubiquitous images in modern culture that there's no reason you can't reproduce their likeness. All in all, the fine details of copyright law would make your head spin. However, you don't have to worry about them at all. None of the above is why modern firearms has ceased to exist. All of the above assumes you've actually put effort into creating your own model of the firearm from scratch. Modern Firearms made no such effort at all it seems.

Copyright is put on the models themselves as the work that the developers put into making the models are their own work and taking that work and using it as your own is stealing. Seriously, we don't need more thieves on the nexus stealing other peoples work. We already have a big enough problem with console players...
