as lost as your other friend, i stated that solely for the urd content used here. if you cant read that between the lines, shouldnt even comment in the first place. he got perms to use them and thats what matters, not where the car is, which origin it has or some other ass pulled bs you come up with. chem is doing his thing what and how he likes to, he helps me in my doing aswell, both on acc ports and urd mods. doesnt matter which circumstance, he got perms to use that stuff no matter what, or where beeing used.
You didn't followed the subject, do you ?
Lets wrap it up quickly :
Modding (in general) = barely legal, for many different reasons. Has become more and more tolerated/accepted/endorsed by game companies for the gain in popularity and longevity of their products. Still on the line, many lawsuits, rarely in the modders favor.
Converting = definitely illegal, on a copyright property side especially, would be still tolerated on a private side, a little less on a public side.
Selling = without a permit for the sell and a licence for the copyright, absolutely illegal, straight to jail, not even a need for a lawsuit in 99% of the countries in the world. And it's the same for Patreon paywares, except a little more countries are not "on the page" on that (I'm looking at you, Ireland)
Encrypting = definitely illegal if the content (and I mean, ALL of it) is not your property in the first place, because it trigger the concept of ownership and copyrighting. Not in the legal form, but on the moral form. That's what is so "hated" about encryption, it's the nature of it, the meaning of the action. Defendable in the face of a jury, maybe, but that's all.
So, coming here, aggressively threatening someone on his action and defending yourself on a "he got perms to use that stuff" (good for him) while talking about a encrypted conversion... I mean... I cannot be the only one laughting.
I apologize if you felt attacked, that wasn't the point. The point was : will you start to understand how grotesque this is becoming ?
Just stop, take it easy, apologize to Safi for the aggressivity and keep on going. We, as a whole, have the right to desagree with each other on the use of a tool and explaining why. It's a debate. And if after that you and Chem keep on encrypting your content, good for you, get on with it, you're free. That wont stop us to enjoy your creations, and thanking you for it.
