EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!
To protect our forums now, and to especially protect our creators in the future...
Due to possible legal issues involving potential piracy use of copyrighted Microsoft/Kuju files in Open Rails...
No NEW product creations will be allowed to be uploaded to our file library with any Default Microsoft/Kuju files or shapes included, that were originally included on the MSTS "CDs" or Updates from Microsoft's Website... (Versions 1.0 through 1.4!)
Just like StreamLines has the policy of not releasing the Shapes, so that the end user will still be required to purchase the Shape from SLI...
All Default Microsoft/Kuju files and shapes will be required to be obtained from legally owned MSTS CDs.
Please make sure to instruct the End User to install these files and shapes from their MSTS installations in any "Read Me TXT" documents.
Any NEW products that are discovered to contain Default Microsoft/Kuju files and shapes will be instantly Deleted. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Any NEW VERSION of a previous product that originally contained Default Microsoft/Kuju files and Shapes must have all Default Microsoft/Kuju files and Shapes removed, and the OLDER PRODUCT VERSIONS must be Deleted. NO EXCEPTIONS!
ALL UPDATES and PATCHES and FIXES must "remove" all the Default Microsoft/Kuju files and Shapes in the initial release, or it will be instantly Deleted. NO EXCEPTIONS! (Just release it as a NEW VERSION instead.)
If you are unsure... Do NOT Uploaded!
Ask forums members for Assistance to clear things up, or use 3rd Party content such as other "Cabviews" or "Sounds" ETC.
These violations will be tracked! Members will be warned. Repeat Offenses may result in banishment. NO EXCEPTIONS!
