really just completely baffling how many people are saying 'if you don't want people to steal from you, just don't have things they can steal' instead of the obviously morally correct option of 'yeah stealing is wrong and people shouldn't do that'. maybe it wouldn't be such a common problem if you people actually advocated against it and punished people/called people out for doing it instead of just being like 'eh, it happens. if you have feelings that can get hurt, you shouldn't participate in communities at all'. think about what kind of world you are fostering!
the only way i can comprehend the anti-credit attitude i'm seeing here is that you yourselves are thieves and don't want to admit fault, so you're trying in vain to make it seem like it's okay. just like how cheaters are always 'oh everyone cheats sometimes tho' NO. WE DON'T. some of us have morals, and you could too. quit trying to shift the blame onto everyone else.
Please hold yourself back if the language is a barrier for you. Don´t judge about people you don´t know. Nobody here said its okay to use BP of others and promote them as yours. Literally no one.
What you are just doing here is unnecessary Drama.
"Stealing" is also the wrong term as the BP were shared voluntarily in public for everyone to download them. Not even the usage of the BP is the issue, its simply that sometimes people do not mention the name of the original creator. Thats a missbehaviour for sure but its not stealing, its not even any crime. its just impolite.
Therefore if you see your creations as your own copyrighted property - share pictures but not the BP. Problem solved.
Deirdre - auch für dich, deinen Ärger über sowas verstehe ich aber lass uns doch bitte mal die Relation bedenken. So ein Thread scheint ja rüberzukommen als ob das ein systematisches Vorgehen in der Community wäre und keine Einzelfälle.
Dabei teilen die meisten ihre Blaupausen doch gerne und freiwillig und haben auch gegen eine Weiterverwendung nichts einzuwenden. Wenn dann mal jemand vergisst den ursprünglichen Ersteller zu nennen ist das doch kein Beinbruch. Und auch kein Verbrechen.
