Don't worry, people. If it's been online for a day it is bound to have spread. Just look around for it, that's all I'll say :3
Not your statement, I mean the concept of posting their emails and spamming them. That's Anonymous tactics right there. I'm not suggesting you were serious, just. Y'know.Eri said:

OT: Why the hell would they go to legal actions (I'm Norwegian, that's the reason for my poor English)? Aren't mods in regular usually free?
I've got to fault both sides on this one: he should have given the modders credit but the modders should realize there work is released freely already and credits are perfectly okay. He stepped over the line by making it seem like the mods were his and they stepped over the line with fake sounding copyright claims. Oh well, there are copies everywhere.
By posting a story from Joystiq on this forum without the author's consent, the maker of this thread is also violating copyright laws in the same way, and would be whether the source and author was cited or not. If you support the author's rights unconditionally, would you side with the author if they requested this thread be deleted for copyright infringement? The needless pursuit of copyright control helps nothing, especially in circumstances such as these.
Credit was given.The Grim Ace said:
Don't care about right's these people were never going to make money of off it. These people just want attention. All they want is MEMEMMEMEMEMEM I DID THIS! It's a collaboration. You are getting credited. That is all you need not internet fame. Alot of people wouldn't even know about these mods unless we went and searched for them individually.
Doesn't matter because it's all over the torrent hubs and everywhere already.
These guys can go choke on dicks.

Are you trying to upload the entire pack or just a .torrent file? For a .torrent I'd recommend... er... well, I can't post it publicly, I'd get moderated into the floorboards. I'll PM a link.Patrick Dare said:
E: Ah, someone's already posted a link. I'd edit it out of your post before a mod spots that. :\
The cache will change eventually, here's a save of it [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0d3z5s84m1s0eth].Shardok said:
this for sure, he creditted them, which what more can they ask for (sure he should have asked permission first) but still, if my mom was included in a package of the best of mods, i would be fucking stoked that i did that, and that someone recognized it out there and that lots of people now will get streamlined to enjoy my product.Mazty said:
So, outside of the legal issues, this is still a sad day for the mod community. I had been following along with the instructions on the website, and just about had it working, and now those instructions are gone. Thanks modders.
Here's some perspective: About 6 months ago, I first heard about the Morrowind Graphics Extender. This got me excited about playing again with updated graphics. So along with this, I found a website with a list of the 'essential' mods. A list of about 30+ mods, each with links, each with different download sites with different registration requirements. Then, there were warnings about what mods you could not use if you used other mods, and which ones you had to forget about. Then each of them had different install methods. I put in about 5 hours to try and get it running, and there were still more mods to download.
I gave up.
Then, I see this: Morrowind 2011
One install, detailed configuration instructions. Each mod was confirmed to be working with the rest, no worries about conflicts. It seeemed to be everything I could every want, in one easy location. I downloaded immediately. On top of that, the site was getting regular updates, and the owner responding to feedback.
I had some technical issues, but I was able to resolve them. I went back to the site tonight, to check back on a question that I had seen some info on earlier, and find it gone.
So the bully mod community got it pulled down. Who won here? nobody
