Hello all,
a ,,Friend" of mine told me today that he got an letter (a real one, not via E-Mail or something) from an lawyer that pretends to work for Gravity USA. In this letter the lawyer said that he has to pay 25$ per released Map and some extra $ depending on the complexity of the released map.
He got 14 Days time to pay what the lawyer charged - something around 390$ or Gravity USA is going to sue him due to copyright infringement and releasing copyright protected Maps by using Gravity's Objects.
Note: He released maps for free, as well as made some for requesting and got some cash for that.
Is this true?
Is mapping and releasing the map (for free) illegal and can it bring you into troubles?
My friend told me that he wont do anything cause he lives in Malaysia and the police and government wouldn't ,,give a shit" bout what other country say, so no risk for him that a policeman would come to arrest him or anything.
Any comments?
