| Subject: My GTA-SA mod was plagiarized, furious! Wed Jan 12, 2022 8:03 am | |
| I left the modding community many years ago due to personal issues. However, I recently became active again and one of the first things I saw was that my work has been claimed by someone else. When I originally released it, I did so under the username JC_COOP.
Here is a link to my thread on the same site as the original release under my old username, to prove my identity. h t t p s // gtaforums . com/topic/979598-gta-sa-female-cj-mod-mod-pirated-and-claimed-elsewhere-by-other-authors-as-their-own/
Link to original release: http:// gtaforums . com / topic / 312207 -wipscr-female-cj-full-replacement/
Asef Hassan Amiz, kharjobiral @ gmail.com, posted it on GTAInsider and GTA Land as 'Female CJ, Hot Babe Girl Player for San Andreas' with the only modification being the restoration of X-rated material I had left as UNIMPLEMENTED DEVELOPMENTAL FILES IN THE MOD FOR A REASON! They had only existed to give me a framework for making clothes and were never meant to appear in game. I am livid. I have not been able to contact anyone to have it taken down yet, and my comments about the theft have not been approved by a moderator yet.
He LITERALLY REMOVED TWO SLASHES TO UNCOMMENT A BIT OF CODE AND HAS 17000 DOWNLOADS OF MY MOD WITHOUT CREDITING ME!
I've also learned that my was picked up by a few other authors and improved in 2015
<EDIT: Mods, I can't post links because I haven't been a member here long enough. Could you please help me out given the circumstances. I've tried to do a hackneyed thing to get the links in, but I'd really like to get the word out properly>

Though these authors did not receive nor seek (I have no e-mails from them and no private messages on the original forum) my permission, I would have granted it. So - if they read this: I wish you'd have asked permission, but you have my retroactive permission now - hard to blame you when I'd abandoned it for more than half a decade.
In the future, any mod releases I make shall be at https://www.gunetwork.org/ under my username of AliciaClifton. If you want to repost something of mine, please seek permission before mirroring or modifying if I did not grant permission in the readme.
If anyone sees this mod in the wild without me being credited, please let me know or attempt to get it taken down on my behalf. Thanks. |
