Notice About Stealing Software, NFSFAN

[guitardoc64]

I appreciate the hard work of No2chem, GGuruUSA, and all of the great minds here. It's disappointing to see no2chem's work ripped off in this manner. The fact that effort was made to alter the code says it all to me. And to what benefit? Was there any useful contribution made here? If so I don't see it.

I pm him at one time asking if i could use some of his graphics from his comm manager, and he told me no, because he felt like i was stealing his work, and that he spent many hours searching to find all this stuff and hours to code it all, and so i could not use it, because he felt it wasnt right that i decompile his rom, and that i was going to steal his work.

who makes a better bell rom?
until i find one i will stick with nfsfans roms even if that means getting them at ppchaven.
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

I guess banning users, with out any warning, is becoming the new trend on ppcgeeks. It always has been like that.

Which part of "No warez" did you miss? This is an insta-ban everywhere.

You're a tool. The work is No2Chems. He can call it whatever he wants. Like it or not, publishing his work in an alterred form even as simple as renaming it is not just low class, it is illegal.

There is an instant ban for a lot of other things on ppcgeeks. Like calling people names.
I was just suggesting a mere first warning for breaking rules on PPCgeeks would be nice.
