i was browsing through bw2files.com and i saw a ton of the downloads that i had developed (t.e.p v2, apes head, zoo mod and even the bw2 turtle one) the worst thing is, they changed the title of the bw2 turtle and added text to the description. in the readme it says exclusive to kayssplace, and at the bottom of most kayssplace pages it states that no content shall be copied without the creators permission. as you can imagine, i was quite angry. ( i saw other peoples on there, too) i didnt give them permission.
i dont want to sound like a goodie two shoes  :)

what should be done guys?
 
Yeah!!
And i've just noticed that other files from here were uploaded there too!

This is kinda important, because someone is copying every thing from Kayssplace and uploading it there, what should we do?

Hm, the guy's use is your nick, did he stole it too? :P

A lot of what they've got they've taken from this site. I'm sending an email to the person responsible since this is not the first complaint I've recieved.
 
we could take legal action - its a breach of the sites rules and is therefore illigal
they used my name on the download, but they still modified the content (name, description) and without my permission  :no
also, it says exclusive to kayssplace on the readme, whhich makes it even more ridiculous. You tell 'em kays! =p
 
That really annoys me when someone does this, what I don't understand is why they doing it, what their reason behind breaking rules.

EDIT: If you don't want it on bw2 files, then I'll be giving Digz a contact, I need to speak to him about something anyway.
 
Dax, did you give permission for your files to be hosted there?
 
can you tell him to take the turtle one off please dax? thats a kayssplace exclusive  :)
also can you maybe have a word with digz about asking permission next time, and not changing content please?
 
If a file of mine(especially OGaM) has not gone through me and it appears on the site by someone not part of the team or someone I don't know, then I get it removed straight away. So all my files currently on there have been submitted by me.

Thankfully it hasn't happened yet, but I agree that something must be done.
 
its not just my content but loads of other people's which is the annoying thing
 
I'll be sure to do that, btw I just went for a snoop and I have noticed in the readme where it says this.

"GET THE TURTLE IN BLACK AND WHITE 2" exclusive to www.kayssplace.com
 
it certainly looks strange on bw2files. i looked into it and they didnt change the readme where it says that. the worst thing is that all of the files have been on there a while and have been downloaded quite alot already  :(

Unless someone else submitted them..
 
Well it's great that you brought this to Kays attention, because I feel it should not be tolerated and there are some things that other people want to protect and with this info is confirmed that some people may feel reluctant to host files, if they intend to be stolen in such a manner.

Oh don't worry, I sent those files directly to digz, and he was able to confirm to me an exact date, that they would appear on the site.
 
thanks to ryudo for posting on every download that it was copied  :)
(not sarcastic)
 
Well, i just posted on 2 of em, but i kinda felt... stolen cos of that :) But you're welcome.
 
I don't know did they even give credit? That first picture looks like they just stuck it on there and claimed it as theirs..
 
No, and theyve actually taken the credit for themselves (Did i spell that right?)
 
They do give credit to SkelApe at least. However it's not proper to be hosting a file without the creator knowing about it.
 
yeh i dont believe simply putting my name will be acceptable.  :rolleyes
kays have u sent an email?
