Gamekiller completely removed the modding section for minecraft. We won! Let this be a lesson to mirror sites: Do not **** with us. And let this be a lesson to us, license your mods.

It's a meaningless victory really.
We only wanted to stop those who did not respect the wishes of the original authors of the mods. Most websites will do that. Gamekiller did not. Therefore, we took action.

Took action? You sat here and tried to have a argument with someone you cant beat then threatened to sue, credits were given in every single thread, i don't even play minecraft and i knew that. Unfortunately you incompetent little kids dont understand the rules and decide to start spamming our forum with useless ******** posts and got yourselves banned, don't talk **** about the staff when it was your own god damn fault. Read the rules, theres one about credits.
5. Giving Credit
One shall not present or claim someone else's work as their own. One may post such material and use it, integrating it with their own work if they give credits by posting the creators name.
Minimum sentence: Infraction
Maximum sentence: Permanent ban
Not one person claimed this work as his/her own. Also before you went on your spam run, you could've easily PM/VM/MSN'ed a Admin/Smod/Mod. Staff is always on.
Lesson of the day is kids, 1.Don't try to fight you cant win. 2. Don't fight for someone else, because you cant even defend yourself. 3. Don't pretend like your gonna sue someone when you know your a 11 year old kid nerd raging at your computer screen because someone else has your precious mods. If anything you should be thanking us for getting your mods out there. 4.Don't **** with the Pimp

Stop whining. The beef we had wasn't that the mods were on there, per say, but because the original authors of the mods who requested their deletion were perma-banned and their posts deleted. That is unacceptable.
The action I personally took was not just to argue over here, but to find the server host and report the website for illegal activity (which is a breach of the host's TOS). Luckily for me, the site is a hive of other illegal activity besides the ignoring of cease and desists. And hey, what do you know? The section is deleted now. Fancy that.

I also didn't make an account on the forum.
Not whining, winning. If they would have requested their deletion the right way and showed some proof maybe they wouldnt have gotten banned. Also you act like your not the first to try to get Gamekiller shut down.

I agree, we won the battle. I sense, however; that the different actions taken may result in unforeseen consequences. It may be pessimistic, but whatever.
Don't get me wrong, something did need to be done, but diplomacy failed, so we took action.
And this thread should calm down. It's over, we won, get over it Gamekiller.
Gamekiller does NOT allow REVENUE to be made off of downloadable content UNLESS said DLC was made by the poster.
Said users who try to earn anything by posting someone elses mods will be banned, and the thread removed.
If such thread exists, please post a link to it, and we can move on from there. However, I highly doubt such a thread exists.
Unlike the minecraft forums, our mods at Gamekiller.net are VERY active dish out punishment like no tommarrow. I'm being 100% serious, people actually think about what they'll post before they do it. they know if they try to cause any drama, theyll get an infraction.
So the problem was that mods from the MC forums were being pasted onto the gk forums? And then the dl links were ad.fly, so money was being made? I only see one solution which is that this is the site to go to to get the mods (if the mod maker is from this site, or their respected site as in gk mods stay on gk and mcforums stay on these forums) so then their is no problem. I'm not sure if locking the thread is a good idea, I would prefer it to not be, or to just be moved since its "settled" now. This was really not taken care of correctly (completely) but all is appreciated I'm sure.

This thread should be locked. The situation is resolved, and we don't need anymore Gamekiller.net fanboys spamming our forums with "we still gave credit, so we won". It DOESN'T MATTER whether or not you gave credit! You MUST ask permission from the creator to post elsewhere, which you did not do; also, banning those who requested their mods should be taken down from the forum. Please, enough with the pointless trolling and flaming.
Moderator, please close this thread. Thank you.

Also, if I may add to Pimp's post, it's "Gamekiller" not "GAmekiller." You could also add '.net' and our logo, "Bringing the pain to each and every game". If you could also add "It's the best community ever and their hacks, WOW!" It's also possible to add "Gamekiller.net" to your signature. It is also possible for you to make your avatar "Gamekiller.net" It is also possible for you donate to us for being amazing as such.
I demand a 500 word apology for not doing any of those and complaining.
Excuse me, for a moment.

Who?: Wait, where am I? *Notices flashing block* Is that...
So now, do you understand what you did here? You're asking US to apologize for YOU MAKING MONEY OFF OF OUR MODS THAT WE DO FOR FREEand may ask for donations, but not required to use?
Whether this is true they are making money or not, you should still not copy them in the first place.

Everything has been said. We have won (Yes, we won, the mods were removed). So, why posting here?
If you want to put Gamekiller.net down, make another "We hate gamekiller.net" thread please. Thanks.
Not true. If the modder's country is a member of the Berne Convention, as soon as their work is created in a usable form, it recieves copyright protection, which means that the modder has all the rights of the copyright holder.
Quote from Wikipedia »
In all countries that are members of the Berne Convention, copyright is automatic and need not be obtained through official registration with any government office. Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder, or rightsholder, is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights.

I vouch they should go offshore and continue.
