To whom it may concern,
I just rewrote the Novel called Moby Dick.. Figured it would be better if it had some colorful metaphors and I shortened up many of the chapters so the readers could get through the book faster.. Oh, and I copyrighted it. Wait.. This doesn't sound right. Ok, never mind.. :) If you find this disturbing, and I hope you did, this is how I feel about people taking ready made objects, altering them and then calling them theirs. I have altered many freebie objects in the past and have also spent a lot of time doing it.. but, I can't claim them mine or call them copyrighted. I do this for the users to enjoy and to have something more than the basics. If Magine did it from scratch using licensed software, then so be it.. I back you up 100%. Other than that, I feel you should reconsider making accusations without due cause. Sorry, but sometimes even I can't sit back and ignore posts that attack people that are doing their best to help the other users make virtual life a little more interesting. :) Happy Easter everyone. :) Bits [View Quote] |
