This maybe a little OT, but in any case it affects a lot of us.... I recently went to a "computer fair" here in the UK, one stand was selling lots of obviously "copied" CD's... The Quality of the CD Labels and Inserts were infact diabolical..
I stumbled across a CD with several HL mod's on it... the main picture was of Counter Stirke.... the mods were listed on the back, amongst the mods were my own mod "Wanted", as well as lots of other popular mods, Action HL, DoD etc..etc... too many to list... but the vendor was illegally selling the CD's for �10.00 GBP. When I confronted the seller asking what permission he had for selling these mod's.. he stated they were all free-ware... I know this is not the case, although Mods are avaliable freely for download, it is not legal to re-sell them... So I want to know what you people think of this... I know that many of us don't get a penny for all the time and effort we put in to creating these mods, but it drives me mad to think that someone else is just downloading them, cutting them to disc and making money out of doing so. I forced the seller to give me the details of the person who he gets them from, which I now have. (although I only have a name and UK Telephone number). What are your thoughts ?
