Ok, So I guess we're all gonna just take a dump on Copyright

[AssEater420]

Every GMOD Server owner literally just uses illegally-Ported or unlicensed player models from other big game companys without any permission clearly.
Nintendo,
Disney,
Bungie(halo),
The list goes on... :dewritos:
You Know people have just been doing whatever, any Player model you want for the past 5-7 years on the Steam Workshop.:dogsleep:

Whats going on? how come no ones getting slapped with infreignments...:class:
Why is Valve casually allowed to host Fan made or Ported playermodel designs from other companies without breaching copyright?:alien:

[B]This is literally what's happening and no one gives a shit. Some owners are even saying:[/B]
"[I]Hey, Fuck you... give me[/I] [B]$5[/B] for [B]10,000 Sscchhhmeckles[/B]. Youll get some Fictional donation-AssToken in return, Then you can purchase this VIP Stolen Woody from TOY FUCKIN STORY
so I can [I]fatten up that Business paypal Accoun that mom bought me for my 17th, nO RiGhTs ResErVed BrO[/I]":disappoint:

[B]The logical Assumption:[/B]
Look, I get that big companies don't give a shit. There is no money to be made on a beneficial scale by sueing these tiny server owners, I mean they probably aren't even on a registered system.
[B]Question:[/B]should I even be afraid of such lawsuites, copyright issues. Should i throw away all my morals and just say "fuck it..." Or is there some kind of scenario where you'll get a letter in the mail saying "[I]take down that pikachu or we're gonna Pika-Sue[/I]" In which then you have atleast 1 Scape-Goat.:speechless:

What is the point of this post? You think the server owners care? It's not like gmod is the only game that does this. There's tons of people that do this it really doesn't matter.

If the companies that had the models made [i]really[/i] cared, they would make a takedown request on the Workshop items, would they not?

You're making fun of server owners who do that, and then ask if it's okay to do it yourself? Wow, man.
