i also personally like usb2pc name better it sounds more professional and generic enough to not stand out
and you all have to admit its not like its called NFSusb so i woulnt say he stole credit more erased all credit
personally i consider it not stealing/plagiarism more a misrepresentation

lay off him
could have been worse
definetly something very very odd to say in a situation where the rom developer is in hot water. I understand that you may like his work, but at the time that you hear that his work is "illegal" and unethical, you should definetly abandon support for such individual.

No wonder when i started developing my rom in its early stages and logged onto the ppckitchen chat everyone would say "please kick his *** in his roms".

After that I started wondering why this was the case. I spoke to a few senior members at that point and then found out that the certain individual requests help and then leaves the chat. The next time he'll come on, is to ask for help only. No contributions of any sort other than rom "developing".

Going so far as using someones work and not crediting them is one thing. But trying to blatently steal someones hard work, and then claiming it to be your development is SEVERELY unethical. Its just like stealing songs and changing the lyrics.

Regardless of that, NFSFAN apparently suggests to his rom users that if they download any other rom they might run into problems. TO be very honest, thats clear garbage, and I hit that down when that whole ' Mixxy's ROM causes DATA charges".

Im sorry, but I'm very glad what happened, happened. ANd I hope there arent any more posts as above, which try to justify stealing. Our mods, and everyone else put in hard work into these apps and programs. The least u can do is thank someone.

No2chem, JD, poorlyduck, sbr, sauman, OMJ, yay, ALL MODS, WDM, AND ANYONE ELSE IVE MISSED WHOS DEVELOPED ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FOR US.

This is a thanks to all you who developed and supported users and EVEN ROOKIE DEVELOPERS, with all their work.
