You keep telling us to "learn to read", yet you obviously haven't read how copyrights and intellectual property rights work.
It doesn't matter whether you are making money on it or not - modifying someone else's work and giving it away is still wrong. Lack of explicit prohibition does not equate to implicit permission.
If you do not understand the clear meaning of that sentence, you have no room telling anyone else to "learn to read".
Then you have the gall to claim it is "a parody and criticism"... so, you're saying you released this texture pack to mock the people who made it? That you don't actually like the textures that you use on your own server?
********. The only "parody" I see here is your understanding of what's right and wrong. And there's plenty of "criticism" for that - fortunately for you, the moderators won't allow it.
Seems like the only thing you have made so far... is a lot of excuses for ripping off other people's work.

wait, does it affect what the moderators can do if I say outright remove the sponge texture I made from the pack, it is used without permission, and has not been removed after being asked twice before?
edit: oh, and the mob spawner. It can be seen on the gerudoku thread I made that too.
Oh, if you think each bump isn't keeping your black eye on the top of the page, you're fooling yourself.
You may get some downloads off it, but it won't improve your reputation.

They aren't free bumps...unless you mean bumps on your reputation. Guess I do need to learn to read...read your version of the English language. Cause the real English language, "I edited 50%" means the same as "I created" to everyone else when it comes to texture work. Still means you did the work...which still escapes me as I saw the screens. All I see is other peoples work, and you not getting permission from at least two sources..nor do you give them credit.

This is a texture pack I've been maintaining since Alpha 1.2.1. Most of the textures are from JohnSmith's pack, a few are from the GeruDoku pack and thread. Some mobs and the moon are from the Painterly Pack.

I'll remove it at my earliest convenience.

********. The only "parody" I see here is your understanding of what's right and wrong. And there's plenty of "criticism" for that - fortunately for you, the moderators won't allow it.
I'm criticizing the authors because their packs are not perfect (to me). So I created a "parody" if you will, which I find is perfect. Also, I never mentioned whether or not what I am doing is right or wrong, stop pulling **** out of thin air. What I did say is that what I have done is not a felony. Just so I do not get brought up on a technicality here: a felony is a crime, which is a breach of the law, which are rules and guidelines made to regulate a country. Laws do not determine what is morally right or wrong.
There are rules HERE. And one of those rules is that you don't use other people's work without permission.
All your rationalization to the contrary, that doesn't change the rules of this forum and this community one bit. The more you talk, the worse you sound. You don't even understand the application of "parody" as it applies to copyright law. Talk about pulling **** out of thin air?
Facts:
1) You used other artist's work without permission.
2) You distributed said work, contrary to the rules of this forum.
3) You continue to use certain works even though you have been ordered to immediately cease. It's not a matter of "your convenience".
If Sump wanted to be a **** like you, he could contact your ISP. I'm sure they have a much better understanding of the issues pertaining to intellectual property, and at any rate, they're unlikely tyo take chances.
You're right - laws don't determine what is morally right or wrong. Conscience does that. Just because you don't see anything wrong with this (in spite of all of us pointing out how and why) does not make it right.
Someone like BlueSteel will drop by "at his earliest convenience" and if he determines that you have not complied with the forum rules and the request of artists whose work you continue to use without permission... then you may see things very differently.

"Don't know why you should feel that there's something to learn... it's just a game that you play."
As you didn't ask permission to use my 'glowstone texture' or my 'stained glass' painting, please remove them from your pack.

As regards the free bumps...yes your mix pack gets a free bump up again, but your reputation gets a big bump down and that's not an easy thing to shake off.
We all know what the internet is like, but your cavalier behaviour is an indication of your atitude to the hard work of others on these forums. What really counts here though, is the all important 'forum rules'.
To be clear, please remove my glowstone texture and my 'stained glass' painting.
[edit] I found it particularly annoying that I had to pay you through adfly to discover that you were using my stained glass painting in your pack without permission or credit.

Sump, are you in the USA? If so, look up "DCMA" and how to file one. Then file one with Curse / minecraftforum.net, or their host; AFAIK they're in the US so they'd have to comply.
And Glimmar might be able to do worse to Sparx, seeing as he's from the UK.

Thanks, SuddenLee. I await Sparks' response to my request and whatever transpires should be interesting. :smile.gif:

You sure are good at stating the obvious. Go reward yourself with a cookie.
@Sumpumpolis: I removed your two textures.
Would that be the cookie you stole from JohnSmith, or was it Glimmar's?
Dunno, I think it was JohnSmith. But that was not the cookie I was refering to, I meant the one over there laced with cyanide.
Not something that I'd use, but
