- Hello all..
I agree with everything Ham says...
I don't think it's anything legitimate, taking objects, routines, textures, assets, or whatever, from people in other groups or even from the same group, without even asking for approval, and putting some of these authors in the credits just because, and without these authors knowing anything about it.
Each author will know if he wants to be part of a production or not.. and be able to decide about it.
Maybe I'm wrong but, in my opinion, a demoscene group is a group of people who do things in a friendly way, as a TEAM, and with the only effort of doing something good, new, etc... each one contributes with their part, but the authorship of each thing remains with each author.
In my opinion it is something very ugly that this happens, why do this?
In my case, I can say that indeed I am the one who modelled that object for the Fetish 2, but that was a team work not just me, there is more graphicians involved, and it is not that I care that someone can take advantage of something that I have done, I think it is great, but... this cannot be done without asking the consent. And in my case, I probably wouldn't have given it to him for many other reasons.
Besides it, we are talking from another demoscene group assets, it's a little ugly.. why not ask for new models, new textures, assets etc...? in any case, and the most important, when reusing things, always by asking for permission. For example I could give permission, but not wanted to be on the credits maybe..
On the other hand, if we look at the rules of most contests in any subject, surely this would inflict more than one of those rules..
I would find it quite sad if Drareg could not understand this.
I have to say, after all this happened, he wrote to me, and he apologized for not including me in the credits, but this is not the point, the point is, he should have asked permission before.
I hope that for the next production he will choose more ethical ways.
Health, love and peace for all, everyone! :) - isokadded on the 2020-04-16 20:53:34
