Looks like the Ghostrunner developers also have an issue with paid mods running off their IP.

    I don’t understand intellectual property

    I’m asking from a place of curiosity, not a place of judgement. Have you ever created anything? A piece of art, poem or prose, a film, a program, etc?

      I am an artist who is VERY anti-IP law. The system as it exists is evil and does far more harm than good. IP is not some holy grail that deserves protection when it can be so easily abused. I would rather have no IP law than the current system, but I’ll settle for reforms.

          I have no idea what your question is getting at. I am a published artist but I pay my bills with unrelated W-2 work

            I said from the get go that I was asking from a place of curiosity not judgement. I wasn’t “getting at” anything. It interests me to know what your stance is and how it might be informed. Congrats on being published, that’s pretty cool.

              if I could sustain myself with art by charging a few bucks like the mod developer in this article is doing, then I would

      Copyright makes no sense. As long as there is a correct citation, it’s kosher as far as I’m concerned.

      “This song was originally created by @turdnugget” should be the point of copyright and not the current rent seeking behaviour of the ruling class.
