masterdaz22 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hey guys to anyone who has released a skyrim mod, Have you had a request from Mithrandix :Hello Masterdaz22, As you might already noticed, the user TheCompiler introduced a way to enhance Skyrim by adding several mods, http://skyrimnexus.c.../file.php?id=11including yours: Beautiful Skyrim - HD Clutter and Furniture and Beautiful Skyrim - HD Weaponry Now i came with the idear to spread this Project outside of the Nexus website to spread the beauty of this game, and i am planning this by using the Torrent system. Everything will be legit since it will only contain files from this site, and ofcourse i will include everyone's name that were responsible for the mod. Further more i will keep track of updates on your mod so people will keep up the date. Now my question is, am i allowed to use your mod in this project to share it to the rest of the world? With kind regards, Mithrandix Has anyone agreed ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 When I start releasing mods for Skyrim, if someone asks to put my mod into a torrent, I'll gladly tell him to f*** off. As much as torrents are a good thing (especially for me, since I have an extremely bad internet connection), these mods are probably going to end up everywhere, and are going to be used, modified and uploaded everywhere regardless of the permisions. This guy was at least decent enough to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Darkmoon Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I don't know anything about this person or where is he comming from. That means i can't really say that it is a good or bad thing but using torrent is a brilliant idea. I am surprised that the nexus doesn't partialy use this system. It could be used as mirror to take out some stress off the servers and lower the cost operating nexus. these mods are probably going to end up everywhere, and are going to be used, modified and uploaded everywhere regardless of the permissions. Assuming that is pretty weak logic. What prevents someone to use, modify or upload your mod everywhere is his own morality. That as nothing to do with the way the mod was distributed. There are laws that everyone has to follow. Torrent or not, if you break the laws you will have to answer for your action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepal Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Torrents are a bad idea. In fact, uploads to anywhere that the author doesn't know about are a bad idea. Main reason being updates to the mod. Old/Inferior versions of the mod end up all over the place if random people start putting it around. Especially for torrent compilations of mods. Something like that for Morrowind might be ok (since the mods are pretty much all final), but Skyrim has just come out and every decent mod is undergoing constant updates.
