So you don't see a problem from stealing from a store then either? Cause that's sorta what they were doing when they didn't have permission.
Huge strawman there
1) It's distributed for free so it's not stealing. If you got something for free and then give it away, the person you give it to did not steal it from the original owner.
2) Theres a difference between goods and data. Data can be duplicated easily. To use your 'store' analogy: I buy a tomate from the store, I plant it and get 10 new tomatoes. I sell them to my neighbor. Did my neighbor just steal 10 tomatoes from the store?
QuoteIt's the mod makers' intellectual property, they have full control of what can happen with it. The tekkit guys were stealing, period.
It's not property, it's information. They don't have full control. Pesky freedom eh?
QuoteThey claim they asked for permission from SirSengir for Forestry. They lied as they never did. SirSengir asked for it to be removed, they didn't. They only removed it when he forced them to by adding code to be technic/tekkit hostile. So yeah.. there's your problems with them. They're a bunch of liars and thieves and they see no problems with this.
No disrepect (I donated to him), but if you make mods, give them away and then throw a tantrum when others use it and distribute it you're a hypocrite and a whiner.
