Hello DC, today, when I was seeing my emails from my Hotmail, I saw an email showing a message entitled
1
Counter-Strike 2D Map - Run CT Run!!! included in the Softpedia database‏
to me saying they liked my map and they put my maps on the site: Softpedia
Written :
More >


And my other maps than the first.
For this reason I am putting this topic on the us saying that this site had plagiarized my files without my permission and also to in get your site without your permission...

> I answered that email saying that I do not want to put my maps on that site and that they not had my permission.

I expect answers soon , And sorry for anything, I'm just defending myself.

Very..strange. How somebody can steal your files (=use without your permission) ? If you really don't want to upload your maps there you should write an email to admin of this page or ask lawyer (if youREALLY want to defend yourself from stealing maps you created)

Are you serious? You dirty attention whore! "Look DC" is obviously one of the worst titles possible! It tells us NOTHING about this thread and its content! Stop using pointless titles already! (Title changed!)

About your problem: I'm not involved at all. I assume that a bot from them took the file somehow from somewhere and sent you that mail automatically. They probably do that to get more files and more traffic and more money. I don't know. I can't help you. As already said: Contact them, not me.

Don't expect them to answer on the same day. Contact a lawyer if they don't respond and if it is really so important to you...

I personally don't see any problem. They help you to make your map more famous. I wouldn't mind.

Seriously... you shouldn't upload your map anywhere if you have problems with people sharing your map. It's the internet. You know. THE INTERNET! People share stuff on the internet. That's how it works!

I have the same problem. They stole (other name for this thing?) ALL of my maps (something about 15-20 maps). I'm going to send e-mail to them, or register in softpedia and spam everywhere :3 Can you help me? :3

@user BaDgEr:
Cannot understand if trolling or just stupid. They are promoting your map, making it more famous. It's the Internet, damn you, guys. I can pick any of your maps and upload it anywhere without your damn permission and I will not violate any law. Agrh.

@user oxytamine: You might actually violate copyright laws by doing so but nearly nobody cares. You simply have to expect those things when you upload stuff to public websites.

That's why I said: Don't upload stuff if you don't want it to be shared.


@user BaDgEr: Spamming websites is retarded and for stupid kids that don't know anything. Don't do it. If it was a joke: Not funny at all.

@user Yates: I don't know how it works in other countries but in Germany there is a copyright law that automatically protects everything you create on your own. Nobody is allowed to use and copy your stuff unless you explicitly allow it.

That's how it should be anyway, people do have intellectual property over their creations and it's not up to others to decide what to do with these creations as much stupid as they are, but up to the creator himself.

stealing maps? 0.o how is that even possible. your map was made on a freeware game to be shared and played by other players for free, each new player owns the map once he downloads it form the server. and speaking of lawyers, no lawyer would give the slightest crap about a cs2d map, and i'm sure the bot owners that are doing this are much more secured legally then u might think.
