Lotus 49

I would like for people to rally up to get back the lotus 49.
it was a amazing peace of art and should be allowed in the game.
please post a comment of what you think.

 

A copyright offense was filed by assetto corsa devs requiring the mod to be pulled. It was also not the best made mod, it weighed 2 tons for a start, the real car didnt. If you want assetto corsa devs to sue BeamNG for copyright, go ahead.

 

Are you out of your mind? It was ripped from another game and BeamNG could've got sued from it!

 

Why don't the idiots at assetto just sue the guy who made it! It wasn't beamngs fault they just have the game that it can be used in.

 

That's not how litigation works. Either company or employee (in this case, contributer) can be held responsible for copyright infringement/unlawful use of intellectual property, but what's the point of suing again? Receiving compensation for potential financial damages caused by the actions of the defendants? Correct! If you wanted someone to pay out, would you sue the one dude who might not even have any money, or the company he works for, with at least six digits worth of assets? Think about it.

 

1. I never said we could use them as we wish, 2. I also didn't say that they used I said that if they were to they should target the modded not the developers which have nothing to do with it.

 

Actually under copyright law, BeamNG would be held liable for hosting the files rather than the modder. As BeamNG can be sued for it and likely have more money and also pose as a potential (well, not really) rival to their own product, it makes more sense to sue beamng than the modder.

In this case they simply asked for the mods removal and beamng correctly obliged.

Look at megaupload for a real world example. The owner of that is the guy that got into trouble, not the users that were uploading copyrighted contents.


It wasn't the best convert ever anyway. Very pretty and the jbeam fitted the shale rather damn well. But deform values were way off, weights way off, engine power way off, number of gears was wrong and with wrong ratios etc etc. Looked good, didn't drive good. Needed more work and got taken down before than work was ever completed. Although I do still have a copy of it, I tried fixing some of its issues but gave up as it wasn't worth the effort on a mod that can't be downloaded anymore.

 

So some people have the Lotus at their computer still?

There has to be someone you downloaded it b4 it got removed.

 

Post above. Yes I have it. No you can't have it.

 

I wonder if its possible for the BeamNG devs to completely waiver responsibility for the content of mods. It's kind of a stupid relationship dynamic, the devs didn't ask for the AC model to be stuck into this game nor did they likely know or care... but they can get sued for the actions of someone who is in no way affiliated with them.

 

Did i say i needed it? And why the f*ck do you need to be so hateful? I did nothing to u.

Still: TONS of people take claim of others work on TONS of russian, non english speaking commnuities .. which is sad.. + PPL REUPLOAD OTHER STUFF WITHOUT PERMISSION!

 

While the old lotus 49 mod can't be used anymore maybe someone will be kind/awesome enough to make a new one from scratch that doesn't use AC's model and then it will be perfectly allowed in the game.

 

Just because other people do that shit on russian websites, doesn't mean it's right to do it here. If you had any maturity you'd know the "but he did it too!" excuse is simply not acceptable. Also the BeamNG website is much more popular than any of the 10 billion russian websites out there.

And yeah I do agree with that first bit of your post, people can be very rude here for no reason.

 

Did i say "But he did it too" excuse? Do you mean that im saying my post in a way liek that, really? or is this a big f*ck up / mis understanding?
