since when has it become fine to sit and drag other communities down publicly?

I understand that they made a mistake and got caught doing it..

There's difference between a mistake and purposely stealing shit from another community. That's not a mistake - that's a criminal offense.

Again they steal 5 lines of code where as Zarp changed a couple of variables, it's not a crime to steal something, that Zarp, didn't own fully from the beginning: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=559753997 steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetai...swedish&id=292923863

And sure it's pathetic to claim that you own something especially when it's considerably easy to make for the average lua scripter, but it's far from a criminal offense, lol.

Its less about the content itself but more about the idea of stealing it, ASAP could have done what ZARP did just as easily but instead decided to use ZARP's stuff instead showing they have zero regard for intellectual property or respect for it. However you are correct that calling it a criminal offence is a stretch since A. The files they stole are all publicly available and B. They don't necessarily qualify as intellectual property as they are also public.

I got a very, very low grade for my law exam earlier this week so I could very possibly be wrong here, but I am pretty sure intelectual property is still yours regardless of if it is public or not. I am fairly sure that what ASAP did is most definitely illegal - although I could be wrong.

Also ASAP did try to write it off as their own, even if it was open source you can't just copy it and claim you made it.
