Quote from edge3147 :

Making the thread implied you were pretty upset about it, then continuing to post when you have been told there is nothing that you can do about someone using your skins.


Sounds like a bunch of QQ to me.

Dude, someone has replaced an online skin with one that has a penis on it. I may be immature but that's hilarious. I posted that to share it with all the other really immature people on the forum, not because I was pissed off. I know very well there's nothing you can do about it (apart from ban people, which arguably is a way of dealing with it), you just appear to think it's not wrong in any way!

Quote from edge3147 :

Still nothing that you can do about it. Keep crying.

Since when was I crying? I started the thread as a joke, which the vast majority found funny, and I agree that people shouldn't steal skins. Where in the thread have I been crying?

Quote from edge3147 :

J@tko, You are missing the damn point. USING the skin isnt a violation of copyright laws.

Keep crying, nothing mature that you can do about it.

No, it's just plain stupid! I've seen people driving around with skins with MY NAME ON.

EDIT: And it's against the "gentleman's agreement" of not using private skins. I would happily ban someone from a server I owned for using a stolen skin. Maybe others should too?

Quote from edge3147 :

Because this topic has been covered here MANY times before. AND nobody is trying to profit from LFS skins, therefore your civil case would have nothing to stand on!

Quote from Bean0 :

So basically you are saying that anything uploaded to a public area of the internet is fair game to be re-used however people see fit ?

Quote from edge3147 :

LOL'd

Yes, hilarious..... What did you spend your day doing then? I actually left my house to do some go-karting with real people

Quote from edge3147 :

That's what this topic started out with, or do you not remember your very first post in this topic where you suggested doing this very such act.

Quote :

So, someone has stolen your own, hand-crafted skin and is driving around like a n00b on public servers with it. What do you do? Well this guy uploaded a new skin with the same name, highlighting the idiocy of this particular driver as he drives around with what he thinks is a nice skin, when in fact he's driving around in, well, see attached

Quote from edge3147 :

Obviously someone does! why do you think this thread started?

NO! They copy and paste the skin they download out of their skins_x folder.

Quote from edge3147 :

The situations are completely different.

How? In both cases you're downloading something someone has made off the internet.

Quote from edge3147 :

Computer won't run anything better than LFS?

Yes, it runs rFactor (which is worse than LFS) and meets the min specs for iRacing (which I can't afford, and is debate-ably better), plus I actually have a life so don't spend all my days playing computer games.

Quote from edge3147 :

So you think uploading a skin that can cause other problems such as ramming and crashing is ok???

WHAT!?!?!?!? When did I suggest that EVER happens?

Quote from edge3147 :

If you use skin names that include your team name, username, or anything that can give away the ownership of the skin, you are asking for your skin to be used.

In what way? I don't go around using a skin which I named XRT_WesternWolvesGT2WS just to check to see if I can steal it. Who does that?!

Quote from edge3147 :

The only reason I called Beano stupid is because he reworded a quote in the attempt to be funny.

And in what way is that stupid? It's perfectly true

Quote from edge3147 :

have fun with your dying simulator and the trolls that populate it.

Will do, thanks.

Quote from edge3147 :

Nobody is selling these skins or claiming to have made them. Nothing you can do about your skins being used besides crying like little 4 yr olds or being immature teenagers? Wrong.

Delete the skin and rename it, don't upload a troll skin just because you think it is funny.

Why not? It's perfectly legal. LFS World even says you can do it. What's wrong with you changing the skins you put online, it's YOUR skin to do what you like with.

Quote from edge3147 :

Learn to name your skins without obvious names and you wont be a target.

What?!?!? You've completely missed the boat there.....

Quote from edge3147 :

Everytime you upload a skin to LFSWorld you are LEGALLY, giving a copy of your work to anyone that is connected to that same server as you. They have not stolen your work, nor have they claimed to have made said work. THEREFORE, nothing illegal has been done.

Mods needs to do their job, and lock threads that get out of hand like this, I already quoted what Victor said in previous skin posts like this.


LFS is a joke.

This thread never got out of hand until you turned up. You didn't even answer Bean0's quote......

Quote from Bean0 :

I've slightly reworded your quote as follows...

"Web browsers have a feature which is called 'Automatic picture download'. Whenever you post a picture online to be viewed by other web users, they will download your picture from a webserver."

So basically you are saying that anything uploaded to a public area of the internet is fair game to be re-used however people see fit ?

Quote from edge3147 :

You sir, are stupid. Go to LFSworld.net and then go to upload a skin.

That text that i quoted came from the skin uploading window.

See attached picture.


Go crawl back under the bridge you came out from under.

It's exactly the same thing. It doesn't matter where it says it, it's the same concept. And it even says in your quote "when you update a skin, just re-upload it with the same name" - that's exactly what this guy just did And calling Bean0 stupid is hardly nice.....

Quote from dekojester :

Hopefully sometime Wednesday overnight / Thursday am european time - lost the other opinion I had on the protest, and need to ask the person for it again.

It wasn't Ellis was it? Cos then we'll be waiting months for the results

Quote from TFalke55 :

Using NGTs as time machines are we Thilo?

Quote from Bean0 :

They borrow me for that

Bean0 is driving the safety car for GT2WS.

Deko: So Stu how's the beer going? How many are you on now?
Bean0: Oh I'm on about 4 or 5.

Sounds very safe to me

just like Ellis.

I did once see someone driving around with a skin with my name on it

Quote from vourliotis :

That is what i dont know, if someone must protest or it isnt necessary because admins take care of it

He's saying yes, do it. But you've said it in this thread now anyway

Quote from Fuse5 :

Only if the mistake he made was really that severe
Common sense to be applied here

He's asking if they need to protest that a team didn't use the driver that drove their quali lap

TBH exactly the same thing used to happen with racing servers - anyone remember the legendary "I got banned - what to do" thread before it was cleared, with all the Redline Racing ban arguments in it?

Quote from col :

However, I think they might be less benevolent if they knew that the likes of J@tka and jakg are claiming ownership.

Wait there a minute - this isn't my skin. I just saw it online

Quote from -NightFly- :

Question to you musicloving simfreaks, heard a song from radio today, i'm not usually into thiskind of music (hiphop/rap if i'm correct it was) but that somehow sounded interesting. It was with mixed bevery hills cop theme tune and only words i could remember were: "kitty, kitty, kitty, kittykittykitty...."

Any idea anyone?

Sounds like the kind of crap Nicki Minaj comes out with......

Found it.
