Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

I been looking for it and wanting to download it, but I can't find it anywhere. @_@

You can't, atleast not from here, due to pirated content within those stories they've been removed from the forums.

Awww man, that's such a shame...

>.< I was looking forward to that.

How did they get 'pirated' or whatever?

The creator of the small house stories used models stolen from other games, redistributing these models is piracy.

I don't see how it could affect fg unless they are the ones hosting the files though?

Ripping models is the equivalency of piracy, which isn't tolerated here. It also does no good for FG's reputation if its being downloaded or advertised on their site.

This.

Honestly, I don't know if I see any problems here.
Plus, why do we gotta get hyped up over models he used? Aren't they universal? People I know could give less than two shits about it.
And it wouldn't exactly be piracy if he was making a profit off of it. And it wouldn't be piracy at all unless it was SOMEONE ELSE'S CUSTOM STORY.

No, the models were not universal, they were ripped and reverse engineered from other games copyrighted by companies, reverse engineering these models are illegal and redistributing them aswell.

1. See: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thr...#pid153804
2. Are your friends the people who govern the laws for copyright issues?
3. So it is not piracy to distribute movies/games/programs over the internet?
4. Great final argument. Ending with capitals letters made it seem all the more correct. With above points in mind I think you've "won me over" to your way of thinking.

It is not okay to distribute someone else's property. I think that FG taking steps against blaringly obvious copyright issues is a good thing, considering what was previously said by Andyrockin123.
