Im starting to think that im arguing for the sake of arguing. I believe that downloading a jpeg and not giving credit is moraly very different from stealing your car, if you don't than thats fine.

This reminds me of a story. A man asks a woman if she'll go to bed with him for a million dollars and she says yes. He then asks her if she'll go to bed with him for 20 dollars. She huffs and puffs and says "what do you take me for, a prostitute"? He replies, "We've established what you are, now were just haggling over the price. "

Please read what I write and understand it. 1. I stated that I feel strongly about..no, let me just requote myself Quote:
2. I said it's wrong to try and take the moral high ground. The first time I jumped in wasn't in the entire thief fiasco, it was when LL took the moral high ground. Come on man, I explained that in my first reply to you.

I don't see how 20 dollas is $19 million more than 1 million but I do hope that when I get off work I can have some of whatever you're drinking/smoking/snorting/otherwise imbibing.

Simple question. Are they both morally wrong? If you say it's not morally wrong to do the former then indeed we disagree and that's fine. If you say that they're both morally wrong then you really don't have the argument you think you have with my point. Sure, I used some extremes in my argument but I need to. Too many people aren't paying attention to the issue when you compare similar concepts. Sir Fozzie found that out. Bring on the extremes and suddenly people get upset, they start thinking, hopefully. Lets bring it back to reality then. The only issue in front of us is the downloading of a jpeg and not giving credit. Again, assuming you answered yes to my question we have a case where two fellows committed the SAME offense, no car stolen, and one is claiming the morally superior position. Surely you can see how this is incorrect now??

Honestly, no, i don't feel like downloading a jpeg off of the internet and using it in a facepack for a baseball game and letting other people use it without giving credit to or asking the people who run the website you got it from for permission in any way immoral.

I didn't bother posting because Axxon was posting much more eloquently than I could do and was saying it quicker as well, but I also agree with his compelling argument.

Ok, I can accept that but how can you then fault SD for doing just that or do you not fault him but just jumped in to the argument to respond to my posts?? Either way, it's cool because you did help me get my point out, whether people listen to it or not and I appreciate that.

I don't fault Skydog at all, my brain started hurting during all the back and forth so i'm not sure what was asked when, but I generaly think that LL overreacted a little bit, and i think Skydog was so taken aback when he was asked for an appology that maybe he wasn't as contrite as might have been needed to end the situation before it really got started. I was mainly responding to your argument about the morality of LL stealing pictures. |

To think I almost missed the best posts in this thread if not for my curiosity over taking one more look. Axxon, you certainly win the prize for most bizarre logic I've ever read!
I am now being labeled a thief, as bad as your average grand theft felon! And my parents never thought I'd amount to anything! Woo hoo! Man, you just can't be serious. if you had posted once, I'd surely think you were joking. The fact that you went on and on through a dozen or more posts with this crazy logic suggests you are quite serious. Axxon, you will be happy to know that this thief has gone straight! No more life of crime for me! I am done ripping off photos from their rightful owners for use in mods for any community. I am done making logos for those in OOTP Developments that ask (I was getting pretty good at it too!). I took down my fictional league photo packs so this type of issue will be avoided. To think all I wanted was a little credit for my efforts...oh, the humanity! |

Wow, you really need to read more. May I suggest try reading a book? Quote:
Well, if your parents aren't proud of your well honed victim routine then this might not impress them either. Quote:
Well, see, here's where reading a book, can help you, specifically with comprehension I'd add. Nowhere was it ever suggested that you were on the same level as a grand theft felon, though I imagine it would give your ego a needed boost. I simply equated you with the person who you said so greviously injured your ego and you are exactly on the same level no matter your protestations of moral superiority. Quote:
I couldn't care less what you do. I didn't use the facepack and I certainly wouldn't use it now. But if you're serious, I say the same thing I say to all the other primadonnas who throw tantrums. Good bye, good luck, wish you well. Don't let the door hit you on the ass as you're leaving. I know that making mods is a thankless job but the emphasis is really on the word thankless. I do agree that you should have been given credit. Hell, I really don't think anyone disagrees but you turned into a whiny bitch and no one likes a whiny bitch. I'd rather you not make mods in that case. Really. If sharing isn't enough for you, sell the product, then you get gratification. I'd rather kick you a few bucks and buy a good mod than have to put up with the histrionics and hand wringing while you clear your angst to get it for free.

ok.... wow..... (I'm feeling pretty nice after 8 pages....sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors)
guys.... this isn't cancer or anything..... Skydog was trying to help a community out, not meaning any harm...... he realized his mistake and pulled the file.... all good.... (and I think if he were a random member, this wouldn't have been as much of an issue) nobody was in the right or wrong here..... because they were all taking from someone else without giving "proper" (as some would put it) credit.... I don't see how anyone can be accused of being malicious.... If I took the time to make an enhancement to FOF (or such).... I'd welcome anyone and everyone to add to it..... unfortunately, that wasn't the case here.... |

I want to voice my complaint about this thread not being titled correctly. I missed the whole damn thing because I thought it was about Star Wars.
People over at the OOTP boards are such hypocrites. They advocate stealing the photographers work and then zealously defend Living Legend for doing the same thing! It makes little sense to me and neither does the effort argument. It is the same no matter how much work was put into it! Also, whoever brought up the essay point - I look at it like this. LL took the work from the books without giving them credit, SD just took LL’s paper and combined with others to form his paper. Should SD had given LL credit? Yes. But SD said he did not know, and I believe that. He offered to give LL credit but LL lets his big fat ego get in the way. The result? The community in which the mod was made for now is gone. I did not get a chance to grab the file but would have loved to. Now I can not and others, who may have gone and bought the game because of the face file, will not buy. Could this potentially hurt OOTP sales? Yes, great job LL! Noop - you do practically mess up every sentence. I thought we were trying not to quote Noop anymore?

Most pissing matches I have got in with most of you I have made good points but since I have a label it gets lost. I never take the low when some of you proceed to personal attacks against me. But now I don't care.... fuck you, your mama, your daddy and whoever the hell you claim as a friend. Because now I refuse to take the high road I will drop to all your levels and say fuck you. Most if not all of you are older then I am but yet... you all act like little bitches and to those bitches fuck you. This is not to everyone but if you feel this is about you then guess what fuck you die slow.
