You do actually use PESU's OF if you use the OF that has been posted here. Most of the content in it is from PESU.
And your logic that "stealing emblems from clubs is illegal, so I can steal the OF just fine" is just bizarre.
Don't you think most of the people who steal and reupload OFs also do earn some money by putting the downloads behind multiple click-to-continue sites? Of course they won't earn much, but they will earn a lot if everyone has the "oh, PESU are charging? Then I'll grab it 'for free'" logic. But if you're lucky you even get a little bit of malware in the process. And that, to you, is the better solution?
CAV i told you it is big topic, what's legal , what's illegal. What's creators rights. I am editing my PES games since PES 3, as most people do, and i know better how painful is to create something in your free time.
When someone asks money for his work, he has all the rights of the world to day it, either by PATRON donations or even by subscriptions. I WOULD NEVER like this as a stance, but i cannot deny whoever wants to do it.
OF COURSE WHOEVER STEALS someone else's work WITHOUT creators permission and especially when he shares it TO EARN MONEY, is a malicious tactic and i do not agree with it.
I personally would never come up with an Erzo's or Cristiano's or Nicoultra's OF , slightly change by me and present it as mine. THIS IS UNETHICAL and i agree with you.
But we miss the point. In my mind it would be honest and decent if the PESuniverse guys come up and tell us, this is our job, we want the money for our workings hours from our LIFE, be nice and show respect.
Where i disagree is coming as the non-SIN team, that blame other people who share for free, as illegal, while the whole scene is not transparent still, whats legals and whats ilegal. AND on top of this, if you tell them about charging money, you take the response "It is for the USB not for the OF".
I told you it is just my thought, do not want to start a Vendetta here and i know that many OF creators tend to "borrow" use kits-logos from other OFs. I have made some checks in the past and spoted in some NT kits, Honduras for example, both PESuni and an other forum had the same mistake, which shows that the other site obviously used some kits from PESuni.
But this does not lead anywhere, Big discussion, many parameters and we get offtopic.
I respect anyone/everyone who creates content for PES.
