Surely you could make your entities still work when saved, i mean, the
whole point of the saving is that it restores it to the exact state it
was before.

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

legal action should they not stop what they are doing.
This usually gets a good response, works even better if you have a law
firm to do it for you.

An other solution would be to include in all the mods a CANNOT BE SOLD
label in the installers... It wouldn't prevent the sellers to sell the CD,
but the customer could ask the reseller for justification...

tbh I doubt most customers would care anyways, you could have 'NOT TO BE
SOLD ON CDS' in 30ft tall burning letters and most would ignore it and carry
on regardless..

It does kind-of irk me that these guys are making so much money off of our
hard work, but is it really anything different than organizations like
fileplanet does? They are charging you for downloading and making a CD
copy for you, not for the games themselves (or so they could argue).

Fileplanet frankly angers me. How could they so directly capitalize off of
the work of others? Please, how much does it cost to access your database
and then burn some files on a CD. Its probably completely automated and
requires little to no human intervention.
I don't see how what that CD
I know it hurts, but the best thing to do is to purchase the product and
mail it on to us. We'll pursue these kinds of things.

I was quite annoyed when they were suddenly hosting the beta of our
Eradicators mod the day after we released it. I never asked them to host is,
nor gave them permission to. I wanted to keep it hosted on our own site so

The main problem with Fileplanet is that its trying more and more to
shift people off the free downloads onto these premium servers which you
pay for. Fair enough you say, well it is.. until the free servers
decline both in number and quality. Fileplanet are also favourites for
developers like
Unfortunately this is the way of the world. A grass roots effort
(GameSpy/FilePlanet) finds popularity and growth, and eventually morphs into
a quasi-commercial endeavour. If you or I were at the helm I think we'd be
hard-pressed to take a different approach.
Another classic example is CNET. We
Well, the thing is that most MODs aren't under the GPL and when it comes
to getting money for it, then that's Valve's area. However, then it
becomes a bit like Linux, when you're not supposed to sell it, but the
