DoctorKaizeld Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I've just been looking for any reason to bring up my thoughts about this.well your thoughts are wrong. i suggest looking into the actual legal factors and not personal opinion for truth here. i wont waste time "arguing" with you about it as it doesnt matter nor is it relevant as the mod cant be ported for PS4 anyways.

Tobias11ize Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'm just saying if they try to get someone in trouble for "stealing" their mod, that person can just end up telling Lucassarts/Disney, and get the mod creator in trouble too. Also if it's not"being used in an illegal manner." then there wouldn't be anything they could force the mod to be taken down over. Obviously since there is a possibility, the truth is, it is in fact illegal. Take my profile picture for instance, the creator of the image can't technically make me not use it, since then they could get in trouble for using the character in the image in the first place. This is obviously the case for my profile picture at least as evidenced by the surge of Nintendo fan-games and the like being taken down. Some of them used the character and put them in original games that are only in reality inspired by the original games, and not actually using any assets from existing games. Some of which didn't even ask for pay or donations in any way. As I said these are just my thoughts on the matter though, I myself am not planning on putting any of my thoughts into action. I just feel that if you're going to bring the whole "legality" aspect into question, then you should have to ask yourself, is the mod I made even really legal in the first place? I have such strong feelings about this, because I have been prevented from uploading mods to yes this site, but also other sites for these exact reasons. My case was different (as in not the exact same situation but similar), but the fact was some people were getting away with things that when I attempted to do, was not allowed to because of copyright. Anyway, sorry for going off on a tangent, since none of this matters anyway, because in this situation it's also about technical issues with both transferring the mod to a console, and Bethesda's transfer process. I've just been looking for any reason to bring up my thoughts about this.the mod maker owns the meshes and textures of the mod, if it uses the word "lightsaber" it can be sued but disney cant really sue them for making a glowing sword. and disney honestly doesnt care either. you can make a mod exactly like it but you cant just copy paste it.
