@Shix - Thank you!  Criminals despise the police because they hold them accountable.  You assigning that name to me, which in all truth, I did like!  :)  I have never seen nor heard it used before...kook word!  :)  It only confirms that I am correct.  What I stated is moral and legally backed-up.  And @Shix, my comment(s) to you ARE 100% legit, I DO appreciate you sharing that word with me!  I am sadden with your unfounded and nonfactual opinion though.  I mean your only 'argument' was to NAME CALL?  REALLY?  This behavior would make one wonder how old you are and that's the BEST YOU CAN DO???  No facts?  No truths?  Just NAME CALL?  Shame on you!  :(



@kuplion - I take the 'high road'?  Yes I do.  I stick to FACTS NOT OPINIONS like so many will do.  Notice, how NOBODY has shown PROOF of what they have said is RIGHT.  NO ONE.  I, provided the ACTUAL LAW and BOHEMIA's position it.  BOTH which disagree with EVERYBODY's 'view'.

And @kuplion, you should be simply ecstatic too!  The LAST TIME you commented about people STEALING other people's works, you COMPLAINED that I 'only quoted US law'.

To wit:  "Ah yes, because the whole world uses American law because Amercia is the whole world. Stop with that shit."

Entire Post Chain HERE

So you should BE SO HAPPY!  This time I quoted the law from the USA AND THE EU!  What is your 'complaint' NOW?  Strange though, how BOTH SAY IT IS WRONG AND ILLEGAL!

You see, this is NOT MY FIRST TIME TO CALL OUT STEALING ON THIS SITE!  And what was the OP's question?  "I have all custom placed map content loaded on the server so no one can steal it"  You know, COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS, or just plain STEALING.  Of course even though HE STATED IT WAS HIS, you did NOT have a problem with people stealing it!  And the POSTS SHOW THIS!  And now?  Whoops...as the old saying goes; 'History repeats itself' or 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it'.  And look at how you have responded.  Oh, one COULD question this case, what about the one I listed from that guy?  NO WAY!  He STATED CLEARLY he CREATED IT AND OWNED IT and was concerned about it being stolen.  Tell me @kuplion, what 'gems' and/or 'words of wisdom' did YOU ADD?  I saw NONE!  Yet, you have the GAUL to 'suggest' to me "...if you don't have anything constructive to say in future, don't say anything...".  Why does that NOT APPLY TO YOU TOO???  That reminds me of another saying 'What is good for the goose, is good for the gander', or 'Turnabout is fair play'.  It would appear you're being a straight up hypocrite.  You 'suggest' that I do 'xyz' yet YOU DO NOT DO IT.  Tell you what, I would 'suggest' you PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!  ;)

And 'add value'?  Hmmm...I added:

#1 - The TRUTH

#2 - The LAW

#3 - Bohemia's Position

I KNOW I ADDED VALUE!  It is surely more than any of you have done!  Name calling, lies, and other despicable things is all you have done!

And I take GREAT OFFENSE TO YOU LIBEL REMARK TOO @kuplion!  If we look JUST AT THE STATS ALONE, you purported statement 'Once too often do you impose yourself on a discussion here on the forums', does not 'hold water'.  Tell me this then, if I was SO HORRIBLE, why do I have a higher 'Like' count than you?  WHY?  The FACTS CLEARLY do NOT support your 'remark'. As I do have respect for you, I will assume that this was 'in error/said out of anger' and think no more of it. :)



And 'leaving by taking the high road'?  No.  I know it may seem that way, that is not what it is.  I state facts and if someone feelings get hurt by THE TRUTH or wishes to argue how robbing a bank is 'ok', well, I shall not engage in such.  You see, and you CAN find this in my posts, though not all, I live by a 'different code' that all have 'chimed in' on showing their 'utter disgust in', do.

#1 - Bohemia did NOT want this to be used for FREE, thus why would they SELL IT?

#2 - Are you (or someone) using it without paying for it?

#3 - If one answers YES, then that person is STEALING which makes them a THIEF.

Now, in this country (USA), and in other parts of the world, is going to 'down the drain'.  For those who are not 'up on the news' or live in other places, several states here have made it LEGAL TO MURDER BABIES!  (...allow for a late-term and partial-birth abortion...) We also have members of our government pushing a LAW that would PAY PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO WORK BUT ABLE TO WORK! (...Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal offers 'economic security' for those 'unwilling to work'...).  So when you wish to 'LECTURE ME ON MORALS', one must ask where and what are YOUR morals are based.  The WORLD's morals are PURE EVIL.  Murdering an innocent baby because 'you do not want it' AFTER IT IS BORN???  Then again, these 'people' are in the SAME AGE GROUP as most of you.

I take my moral stance and foundation from the Word of God.  I am a Christian and taking ANYTHING that is NOT MINE IS STEALING PERIOD.  Those that STEAL ARE THIEVES PERIOD.

'Stealing' is defined as:  take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.   @kuplion, did you ASK BOHEMIA for PERMISSION TO DO SUCH?  I bet you did NOT!  I mean, IT IS THEIR PROPERTY, NOT YOURS!

A 'thief' is defined as:  a person who steals another person's property, especially by stealth and without using force or violence.

So, I have used 'steal, stealing, and thief' PROPERLY AS DEFINED BY THE DICTIONARY AND BY THE LAW.



Why 'do I take the high road' as you stated?  Hmmmm...

#1 - I state FACTS and I need to say NO MORE.  The TRUTH says it all.  Only a FOOL argues against the TRUTH.

#2 - 'Leaving on a high road"  NOPE!  God says:

Proverbs 29:9 -
There’s no use arguing with a fool. He only rages and scoffs, and tempers flare.

Proverbs 26:4 -
Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.

Proverbs 1:7 -
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 15:2 -
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.



I leave because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.



And what 'crime' have I ACTUALLY committed?   Calling people, who the LAW and the moral code of God condemn as a thief?  That is my crime?  REALLY???  Which NO ONE CAN DISPEL?

And then to NAME CALL me???  Sadly ALL of your posts are OPINIONS.  Mine are FACTUAL.  I would HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT ALL OF YOU LEARN HOW TO DEBATE!  EVERY single one of your responses fall under what is called 'Logical Fallacies'.  All you did was to name call, tell me 'how wrong I am' , and other garbage.  Yet ABSOLUTELY ZERO EVIDENCE to back up ANYTHING YOU 'spouted'!  That ALONE speaks volumes of the STRENGTH TO MY POINTS AND TO THE WEAKNESS OF YOURS!



Persecuting me for doing what is right?  I am sooo sadden by that!  Rather I REJOICE IN IT!

Jesus said concerning such:

Matthew 5:10 -
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

John 15:18 -
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.  (And for you who do not know, Jesus was MURDERED because he was an INNOCENT Man).



So, against my better judgement, I answered your two posts.  I shall no longer.  Bash me all you want and I am sure you will!  Because you have to!  It will change nothing.

I have listed FACTUAL EVIDENCE and you have listed NONE.  And as I stated, my moral, ethical, and values are Christian based.  No Christian would EVER JUSTIFY STEALING.  No, not FAKE Christians, REAL Christians.  Oh, you THINK you are?  Hmm...and what does the Good Book say about that?

Matthew 7:21-23
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

And MANY = MAJORITY.  In other words MOST who THINK they are Christian ARE NOT.



Before I shall take my leave, be it known, that I have no anger nor hatred towards any of you.  :)  You think one way and have said it, I think another and I have said it.  Thus, there is NO NEED for anymore responses.  But I feel some will live up to Plato's thoughts as listed below (#3)!  You know, cuz they HAVE TO!  hahahaahahaha



I shall leave you with some words of wisdom, though, I wonder if it will 'reach 'anyone, as Jesus said:

Matthew 7:6 - Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.



Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.
Benjamin Franklin

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
Benjamin Franklin

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
Plato

With fools, there is no companionship. Rather than to live with men who are selfish, vain, quarrelsome, and obstinate, let a man walk alone.
Buddha

Prejudices are what fools use for reason.
Voltaire

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
Albert Einstein
