Someone has returned from the dead...
Looks familiar, no?
It's Daz's RA2 to RA1 mod, ripped by oztronix. Coincidently, he did it before. I now call on all PPM members to flag his mod on ModDB. Should bring it down rather soon.
And while we're at it, perhaps we could get his profile banned from ModDB too by reporting it... QUICK_EDIT
Check my reviews on ModDB. He'll never learn, but I doubt anybody is stupid enough to actually pay for that hideous rip-fest he calls a mod. QUICK_EDIT
I've already reported both his mod/profile but we'll see if that's any use. Even if he's not technically ripping assets from other mods anymore he's still breaking ModDB Terms of Use by removing other people's comments for no real reason apart from insisting that they're 'abusing him and his mod' while it's just pointing out obvious facts. Not to even mention that he's commercially distributing material that he does not have rights for.. QUICK_EDIT
Wow how could he do that. That's such a cowardly, pathetic, talentless act trying to rip a mod. I wonder if Daz ever knew this? _________________ Ponies are not awesome. Kill all bronies with fire. QUICK_EDIT

Wow, I was browsing the comments and suddenly, this happens

Game Over
The game you are trying to view has been deleted and is no longer available. This may have occured at the developers request because it is no longer active and was not released, or it may have occured because it violated the sites Terms of Use. If this is a mistake and you are a member of this games team and would like it re-activated, please contact us with the details.
If you would like to view other game profiles, we suggest you browse the entire game list.
Personally I think the guy is just trolling to get the community attention.
Other than that I'm glad it got reported and closed down. _________________

Since you talk so nicely about the others:
Forgot to say, just in case, if you did not know this
about your SELF (and you Germans are so tipical about):
-Knowing your previous posts to other people
on PPM, and Revora, and specially your messages
to newbies, or anyone who asks any question,
your royal highness, Lin Kuei:
You are of the most arrogant, and rude persons
I've ever came across.
Now, you are also demonastrating that with your
flaming messages about my works, (that you have NO CLUE
about in REALITY), and current version, and you are posting
further false accusations, as you are used to, and telling me
what can I do, and what can I not do ?!
Just wanted you to know this, and wish that your Gestapo
prospers well in the future, and you are really proud of your
arrogance and rudeness.
Would it be too much to ask, that you back off my account now ?
I am not doing this to you, on MODDB, so BACK OFF from MY ACCOUNT.
And: they are not "duplicate accounts" as you call them, but we
have more gamers here, using the same IP, and different oppinions.
Thanks.
Michael.

I went undercover saying i will help him.. he is giving a free copy of his Red Alert Shitenium well im just waiting for him to give me the admin password of his Google site too and Blow IT UP!!! (Yes i will delete the site whenever i have the opportunity) and then im going to betray him! muahaha!!! Well still its a rip-off ! He wants everyone to sell mods like him.. what a retard!!!
This is what he said on one of the pm's:
FIRST, in return, here's somthing you never knew
existed, to help you on the way of your work, as well:
-Selling your mods is NOT illegal.
(Your Intelectual Property in them - you CAN sell,
which is your work in them, your art, coding work, and other work).
(Your mod installation disclaimer only needs to
specify, what exactly your fee is for, and what is NOT for).
Our fee in this mod is only for OUR part of the work on it,
and NOT for the source art, and our disclaimer says it, clearly,
prior the game / mod can be installed.
So no, it's NOT "illegal", as they call it.
-We are also talking with EA at the moment, to give sales rights
to all moders on MODDB, with released and complete mods, as ours.
Yes, we DO have their verbal permission as well, to sell our content.
Want to helpa bout this ? Promote and help the idea that all moders
SHOULD be able to sell their mods (no matter how small the fee)
This is the future of moding, AND GAMES.
Now I have another ModDB so I wil just talk shit about him and his ztyping Rip-off shit mod!!

Something sounds wrong with that.
Still,

Somebody please explain to me why he thinks it's legal in any country to modify somebody else's work, and then sell it. I've never heard of anybody doing this to any game without legal trouble from the companies. _________________ Dawn of the Tiberium Age staff member QUICK_EDIT
Thanks, for the concerns, but we just launched
the initiative that all modders on MODDB
should be able to sell their modding work.
And, re: v 1.4 - I was lured to believe that content
from 1.4 is free, and now is cleaned out, and we did
all from the scratch, our own stuff there, v 1.5 now.
We do sell only part of our work in it, not illegal.
Follow what we do, with your mods, it's time.
Make one step, and change history, we did.
(not a big deal, as long as disclaimer specifies
exactly what they are paying for, and what not).
(Our fee is mainly for server mantaining and backup fees,
and our work done on the mod). Not for Westwood
content, and game installer states that clearly.
Also: just contacting EA to give the permission to
all moders on MODDB to sell their made modes.
While we promote this new idea, to remove this
boundary imposed on modders - you guys abuse us.
Let me know if your mod installer will be ever for
sale, and, we will buy one to support you.
What you guys from Revora, and PPM don't understand:
we are not the enemy, but: quite contrary: we have the
ideas, and stand for them.
Best with your mod, let us know the sale link when ready.
You want to really help the community ? Start selling
your mods, and let the world know that once in your life
you believed in something better for the modders.
Stop calling us "illegal" as that is not what we do,
for the sake of talking to you, I can't do anything more.
Kepp a good nerves, it's just an (abandonware) game...
Michael.
ChronoSeth I'm not going to help him, I'm not his friend nor his mate and why would I like to ruin my reputation. I dont want anyone to call me A$$tronix's minion.. Like I said I'm not his friend...And If people thinks I'm going to help him with his Global Rip-off I will just leave my plan so he can go Fuc% himself..
Man Aro you ate that guy whole..I asked how many people were in his supossedly a team, and its only him Haha!....Well as people were taking what I was going to do the other way I just told him I couldn't and that I will never ever help him due to its Rip-off and that I didn't wanted to help or cooperate with a mod that was going to be sold...
Man he is communist and he adores Hitler and Hugo Chavez form Venezuela, with that kind of ideology of selling mods. _________________ ---------------------------------------------------------

What's most amusing is that oztronix 'pretended', quite poorly I might add, to be two people in Aro's linked thread. I mean... the IP address is identical. That's not even trying.
Still, the whole thing is a sham. _________________ KGR | AT

Well even if you can sell open source software, I'm pretty certain you can't sell deriatives of software which is NOT abandonware _________________ QUICK_EDIT
