mailmanq Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I was wondering if Technic/Tekkit had full permissions from the modders, I can't find a post were the modders approve. If you don't have permissions the rule of no illegal stuff is very hypocritical. I know most players don't care about the modders, but not have permission to redistribute the mods is the same as piracy, and don't try to justify because you aren't stealing from billionaires, they are normal people.
theprolo Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I'm fairly sure that Technic DOES actually have permissions from all the modders. It got the reputation because it was released before intended, so they didn't get all the permissions sorted before release. I'll see if I can find a quote about this somewhere.
LazDude2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 The modders haven't posted on the forums giving their permissions, and Technic, in all fairness, may not have all of them. But they do have most. Here's the thing. It's not stealing, no matter how you put it. They're actually taking a huge load of bandwidth off the mod authors and paying for it out of their own pockets. They lose metric craptonnes of money on it, I'm sure. They're taking what the modders give out for free, and wrapping it up in a shinier package and giving it out for free. Nothing's being stolen, nobody's being harmed. In fact, I'd say the community is (in general) benefited by Technic. But that's just how I see it. RichardG and others have an exact opposite view, but that's what happens with people. :/
theprolo Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Can't quote it because of other quotes in the quote which won't be quoted(do I win the award for most quotes in the same sentence?), but just read the second comment on this page. http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/feed-the-beast.30435/page-3 In particular the 1st quote by Cheapshot. That evidence enough for ya?

You're so misguided you barely warrant this response. Fun fact: Tekkit has full permissions. Also redistributing the mods is piracy? What money are the modders losing out on by not having to pay out of their own pocket 2TB worth of bandwidth a day, free advertising on a webpage and launcher, a community to help people use their mods, and a donation page dedicated to all of them with direct donation links? I'm very certain any modder will tell you the whole permissions thing is not a money issue. Your post is so full of awful illogical slander you're not going to last long around here. Feel free to shape up your argument to be a real one.

How is taking something that was given for free and giving it for free piracy? Am I not allowed to give people my vast collection of AOL discs? It's not like technic is giving it to people who wouldn't be allowed to have it normally, it just makes the download and installation quicker and easier. You want hypocritical, go over to the MCF. Those lovely people hate on technic for "stealing" mods but then celebrate pirated accounts.
danidas Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 As simple guy mentioned the whole permission issue has nothing to do with money or copy right and has everything to do with respect. This has been supported by many of the modders so far both in these forums and in other sites. Just look up covertjaguar's posts here or cpw and even slowpoke101's for proof.
mailmanq Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 I want proof, like a forum post where modders say that they have permissions
danidas Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I want proof, like a forum post where modders say that they have permissions Please be aware that your probably never going to see that type of post around hear as we do not have the support of the modders. However we do meet the required terms set forth by the modders to have their mod in a mod pack for at least all of tekkit or at least have permissions.
Torezu Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I want proof, like a forum post where modders say that they have permissions Please go visit one of the other threads on this subject. We have enough already. ...we do not have the support of the modders. However we do meet the required terms set forth by the modders to have their mod in a mod pack for at least all of tekkit or at least have permissions. Meeting the terms means having the support, implied or otherwise. The reason there's no permissions thread is that one is not necessary, since interaction between pack assemblers and modders shouldn't need to be public, as stated by the site admins repeatedly. End of thread.
