Btw, I currently have a list of 98 websites redistributing mods (outside modpacks), and about 80% of them are earning money on other peoples mods without permission.
And you can't take them down? If they do that now, what would change if you just opened perms? :p

You seem like a nice guy dude, you really do, but the problem with all of these permission things just plain comes down to people not wanting their mods to be mutilated by 50+ miles of Dirt-to-Diamonds scrap

You know what I think? Your loss :p
Not really... If it is going to annoying to get a hold of, it just isn't worth it. Pack devving takes insane amounts of time (as modding does as well) so slowdown like that for say 20 mods in a large pack could really get stupid...

Thank you. :) I don't want to casue trouble just sharing my opinion, which I am acknowledging could be wrong. I'm sorry I don't follow. Do you mean people would steal the code for the mod and use it in their crappy ones?

To be brutally honest, I do understand the whole "outdated mod" thing. I'm currently devving a 99 mod pack and have found myself constantly downloading updates every three days. Being a pack dev truly isn't easy

I'm not using money on a lawyer. I've sent DMCA takedown notices to several of them though. This is a big problem in the community. stopmodreposts.org
It's a shame bad guys can do this kind of thing, and the good people have to work to stop it..Same thing happens IRL a lot I bet. Small company designs something good, bigger company steals the idea, smaller company can't afford to sue and the bigger company makes the profit. :(

Basically imaging people doing anything and everything with the mod: Adding shortcuts to their favorite endgame power device, making MineTweaker edits so machines are horrendously cheap (2 Iron Ingot Macerator for example), and flooding the files with the infamous Dirt-to-Diamonds hack.

It'd be pure mod chaos... Not as fun as it seems

I have the resources, but I prefer to not spend them on lawyers. Also those websites are oftenly hosted in Vietnam and similar countries, which don't follow international copyright laws.

That kind of thing does not happen with a mod like open-blocks though right? What is the difference?

Maybe we should start some sort of FTB packers association, IDK what we'd do but it sounds cool!

Plus, if we formed it we could have weekly votes on what mods we could pester certain devs to make.
