A word on the uploader’s description dealing with „COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER:“ and

„IMPORTANT“, focusing on „fair use“ and the Nexus‘ stance on this:

 

 

Mod description:

„COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER:

This mod is fair use under U.S. copyright law because it is noncommercial and transformative in nature, uses no more of the original than necessary, and has no negative effect on the market for the original work.

 

Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use." I DO NOT OWN ANY COPYRIGHTS. All rights goes to their respective owners No copyright infringement intended.

 

IMPORTANT

 

If you have any issue with the content used in my mod or you find something that belongs to you, please SEND ME A MESSAGE and i will DELETE it right away. Thanks for understanding.“

 

Nexus’s stance on this:

Nexusmods.com is a privately run site in the UK. Concerning the content of the site UK law has effect.

 

Registered users confirmed that they had read and accepted the rules of the Nexus Terms of Service when they registered with the site (if they had not, they would not have been able to complete registration).

 

Nexus rules transcend copyright law because we do not want to be dealing with the wishy-washyness and grey area that is "fair use". The rules are really simple; if it is not yours and you do not have permission from the person/right holder whose it is, then you cannot use it. This is the area you should focus on.
