MOD THEFT ALERT!

payl0ad on the Nexus has alerted us all to this back alley website where people are stealing and posting mods. I searched my username and found one that was posted without permission. If you search your name and find something, here is the link to their contact form so you can get them to take it down.

Please reblog and link your modder friends to this! I have no idea what people gain by stealing mods, but it’s so effing frustrating every time a new website pops up where we need to report stuff >:[

Heads Up! Mod Theft :(

Unoctium said on this Reddit post:

“I would like to remind Bethesda and users that whenever a culture of theft and a failure to protect creator's rights takes hold, the flow of mods comes to a grinding halt. There is no incentive for any mod author to create something, if someone is going to come along and not only flog it off as theirs, but in a fashion far from the author's intention.” If you're a mod author that has not uploaded on Bethesda.net, do keep an eye out for thieves. Bethesda is very slow on dealing with this. If you do download on console, make sure it's by the original author or you risk getting things seriously corrupted and broken! Mods do not just automatically work on console ppl! This is not the time, to turn this into a war between pc and console users. This is a time for the Fallout community to show 0% tolerances for theft. Bethesda.net Read more on this here More on this by @elusivechip
