0 diegofkda Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Don't listen to that community, they just say "stolen stolen stolen", community resources are free and anyone can use them. Link to comment
0 Phat Looser Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ok, no problem then. I guessed its a face, but I don't want to steal stuff. Link to comment

Where do they belong to? Can I use them? Rafinha V 10 Rafinha vol 9 Vortex v8 Sebas Maps They are probably stolen yes. Vortex is in the same clan as I'm (-ffs-) and Rafinha is a brazilian friend that plays in FFS Racing too, they both don't upload their maps to community, only to selected servers, but as far as I heard they also sell those maps, if you could post the nick of the player who sent you the maps, we could know if they are legit or stolen. Not sure about Sebas, but he has the same style of mapping and publishing his maps as the others two. Link to comment
0 Phat Looser Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 How can I contact those two? Its better to contact them personally in this case. I don't want to post names here, there is enough mobbing about "stealing" and such stuff. Anyways, I'll ask the one who posted them where the maps are from. Link to comment
0 MarcoNecroX Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Look its easy, those maps are popular, and after some time authors have decided to start to sell their maps (rafinha, vortex , sebas). So, the people that bought the maps shouldn't have given them away, but they obviously did (why would they care), so now everyone can have those maps. It is not stealing , its their problem (mappers) if they only cared about $$$ when they gave them away on their own risk. On the other hand, "stolen maps" do exist, its when someone hacks the server and gets maps that way. This happened for example to SHC, all the maps and server scripts were stolen , I know it because i have them , as well as the maps you're mentioning. But I don't give anything away tho (i like collecting) Link to comment
0 Phat Looser Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Well, I could do that too with the DDC maps I once hosted, but thats sort of stupid. But if anyone else already bought them and gave them to other people, its something different though. Link to comment
