Deleted5074362User Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 As title says, why? I was working hard on this mod for days, I also got permission from the author of the main mod so tell me staff. What was the copyright issue? Image of the mod? Credits? Care to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Absolutely no copyrighted work is to be used without permission of the original creator. This includes content from other games, from DLCs, music creators or from other file authors. This also includes members from countries that do not recognise copyright laws. I doubt you asked Valve for permission to use their content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVampireDante Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Witcher devs allow porting their content - they've openly stated that. Either get permission to use the content or forget about uploading the mod, it'll just get removed again if you can't prove you have permission.

Meaning that the stuff from it can be used for modding and used if not for commercial or profit using, in which my addon is free to share for personal use. Also, like they would know, won't bother them. Will you permit me to upload it again? Edited May 15, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofgren Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 If Team Fortress 2 devs have stated that their content is free to use, you would be best off linking to that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivala Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) --- FROM SFM LICENSE FAQ : Yes, but not if you’re using Valve’s assets in your movie. The tool is free for non-commercial use. You can use Valve’s game assets (things like characters, props, particles, textures, and sounds) to create movies and images to share with the game community, as long as what you create is free. We’re not giving you a license to commercialize our assets. However, if you do not include any of Valve’s assets in the movies and images that you make, then there are no restrictions on what you do with your content and you can make money with it. --- This is from the Source Film Maker license FAQ. If you used those assets you can use them non-commercially. Edited May 16, 2017 by Shivala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you used those assets you can use them non-commercially. That only says that anyone using the SFM has a license to use Valve's assets in the movies they make in SFM. Not for anything else. (And since it originally was made for the sole purpose of making videos set in the TF2 world, it makes sense. Would be hard to make a video in the TF2 world without a license to use assets from TF2.)

Free-to-play does not mean that you have the right to use assets from it as you please, it simply means that you are allowed to play the game for free (technically that you do not have to pay any money for a license to play the game). If the assets are released under for example a CC license, then it would be a completely different story. Valve in general are a bit more lenient when using their assets for another Valve/Source game, but have been pretty harsh in the past on people using their assets for non-Valve/Source games.
