They are NOT Nitro's, and I made it clear to him when I sent them to him he could use them. If they are included in the final release, I contact Grenadiac or another admin/moderator to remove the download.


By they way, I really don't care if you think its bullshit. Its my work, and its the law.

You still don't know who he is and since neither you or him sold them AND they were based on a gun that neither of you hold a patent to, I don't think any court in this country would give a shit. I'll will pay you twenty dollars if you can find and prove that you found a judge who would let this go to court.

You owe me $20. You cannot patent files, therefore the best even Bungie has is a copyright. If Bungie wishes to take action against my model, that is their concern. And yes, I still hold a legally binding copyright over my model, especially since it was documented in Nitrous's readme. Simply put, monetary compensation is not the issue here. I do not wish for him to use materials that I put my time and effort into, and HaloMods has a legal responsibility to see to it that he does not use their servers for any such infraction.

You do to get twenty bucks.

Anyways, why do care so much? Why not just give him permission. Plus, isn't this just Nito's mod, whom you did give permission, just touched up a bit?

I have my own reasons. I gave Nitro permission. If he wants to update, he can.

Wait wait wait wait wait, i just realized something. If this is supposed to be like Halo2, then that means all the models are like ones in Halo2, correct? This means you just copied off of Bungie, so really, you have nothing to complain about unless you want bungie to do the same thing to you.

The design does not make it their model. I suppose every car company should be filling law suits because they have curved bodies? No. Again, if Bungie wants to take action they can, but that it their business and not anyone else's.

No. No you cannot. Hell, even seeing the god forsaken mod has gotten me a bit raw to Nitro.

They could if said cars are exactly or extremely close to the care they have patented. The main thing is that what he is doing isn't really illegal, and even if it is, no one would care except for you and you still don't know who he is.

It is illegal, you'd have to be pretty ignorant to think other wise.

Dude, its the usa, fucking sue sue sue.

If some guy can sue and win a court case because he suffered damage to his nose when he used a powerdrill to pick it, Lime can sue for taking his work.

Lime probably won't sue, but I still think you would be pissed If I changed my screenname to Duffmn04

Remember when some fat ppl tried to sue Mcdonalds and Burger king because they got fat from it? Remember what happened with that? THEY LOST. They didn't even get to court ppl will care less about this than the mcdonalds incedent. What's he afraid of losing? Money? NO Recognition? Obviously no one knew he had made them anyways JUST LET IT GO, MORON

If I recall correctly, the fat people won the case. Who are you to judge, you little maggot? Wait, do you have any crudentials? Any claims to fame? I thought not. Hell, you don't even have knowledge to the subject of which you talk. You'd be best off with harikari.

Are you retarded? THE CASE WAS THROWN OUT OF COURT
Do you have a claim to fame? Are you some copyright/patent attorney? And why the hell would i commit suicide for this? It's not like you're going to accomplish anything unless Gren thinks you're right....which you're not..

The law speaks for itself, Gren should acknowledge it. Bad publicity is bad, for obvious reasons. And yes, I am rather prominent throughout the Halo community, just don't often waste my time on modding websites.

I don't really care anymore. You're just being an ass, and you should let him borrow your models.
