Maybe it was wrong of me to publish this letter as an official letter. My reasons were that everyone knew by now who it was. And that I just wanted to explain the difference about selling something you have created yourself contra selling something someone else has created. I also thought that this might be a broad problem that others could relate to. Even if you offer something for free on the internet, it does not mean that it can be used commercially.

Please let me know if you guys think I did something wrong, and if so what.

The guy who's making money through Kirill's work is the one who did something wrong, not you. smile
If someone's doing something illegal, then you have every right to say something about it.

That's along the lines of what Scrotie was asking people NOT to do.

We can debate the moral of the issue, yes, but we don't exactly have a "right" to publicly discuss a potential legal issue between two parties of which none of us here are part of.

Freedom, including freedom of speech, have their limits. Also, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Sure, the evidence looks pretty incriminating, but even so, none of us here have the authority to declare anyone guilty (or innocent).


Unless otherwise specified, just an opinion or simple curiosity.

Ok, point taken. I am sorry about that. I could have formulated the entire thing generally and just pointed out that there is a difference between selling your own stuff and selling something taken from another. That would probably have been better.

YES Ladies and GENTS i am MAKING CRAZY MONEY ON THIS VIDEO! I made...0.35 of a CENTS...almost 1 CENTS! OMFG I AM GOING TO BE RICH....
Ok to the people who are talking smack, all my videos when i post them automatically become monetized, i have to MANUALLY turn it off....
Second, this shouldn't be your concern at all, you didnt develop the game, your not losing any money out of ur pocket, i am promoting the music and the game on my page which could result in someone buying the game..
Third, contacted Larian, omfg u wont believe this...THEY SAID ITS OK!...
Fourth, so u stop crying about something you dont OWN, or PROFIT from anyway, ill go MANUALLY turn off the Monetization. So you can sleep at night better...

Ok I have to admit that I treated you badly. I could have sent you a PM and asked about it instead of going public. So, I apologize.

I still think there is a difference about what you create yourself and what you copy from others. Especially when money is involved. The amount of money is irrelevant. But in your case you have made a deal with Larian so everything should be ok.

Sorry again.

This age where everyone is a victim except for real victims is just nuts. Don't be too hard on yourself Ivra. I guess this case is closed and I'll withhold my opinion on the matter further because most of you have too much class. Steam on the otherhand... laugh

You're absolutely right. When a stranger has his wallet stolen by a sneaky thief I shouldn't say anything about it either. Afterall, I don't know the victim, nor the mugger, nor am I losing any money over it. So I have no right to say something about it. /sarcasm

Apologies to him are not needed. You did nothing wrong. Like you said, there's money involved, and the amount is irrelevant. If anyone should apologize, it should be GamezGlitchz. Instead of coming here with an attitude he could just as well have said: Sorry, I forgot to turn off this monetize option. It's fixed now! Everybody would be happy, case would be solved.
