Marktplaats.nl (dutch ebay like) has an option to report ads with copyrighted content etc. I bet other sites have them to. It's a way to put down some ads.

Personally i don't think those are worse influence for us. People with no knowledge of the software will be dissapointed i think and the price is to much to reach a big audience.

Sleeping as good as other nights tonight

And those chinese copie everything, not surpised

Oh new idea: maybe add a small line in the playfield: if you paid for this table youve been ripped off

That seller is going to run into issues very quickly with PPS if he really is an authorized dealer

 

Report the auction as infringing on intellectual property. The more this is done, the more likely it will be taken down.

Until the next such auction, that is...

I'm wondering how table authors feel about their work being basally used to make a profit? With these tables already up loaded and being sold as a complete unit. Just wondering.

I don't like it, but I also know I don't own what I recreate. It's up to the license holders to take care of this stuff.

If you see it like the price is only for the cab hardware and they give away the software for free which the buyer would get "for free" anyway...
One more happy pinhead to enjoy your work.

I know it is hard to see it that way and it is hard to deny that preloaded and ready to use is a major selling point.
Just helps to stay positive...

[randr]

So when they mess up a pre loaded drive they say they have a worthless $5000.00 cab. they sure don't see it as value in the cab hardware. Honestly people like that I hate

[laylow]

At VP Cabs, when i want to buy a fully loaded cab, it's almost 10000 dollar! Insane! But with free FX2 

[paulkyriakides]

Some people amaze me!.

Its not like anybody on this site who copied an original table for Visual Pinball did not copy, steal or leach it from the original artist!

Now because somebody is doing what you did in the first place its not good? 

Who the hell do you all think you are........... Saints?

Get a life.....you did not create anything you copied it.

Live with it and move on and everybody will be happier especially the oh so sensitive people who threaten to leave the site everybody somebody comments on their copied work.  

One more thing stop calling yourself table authors rather table copiers!

Sorry I also forgot to mention that I love some of the VP tables that have been copied and appreciate all the work. 

[Pinball999]

This will escalate quickly.Or we can just not feed the troll.

The difference of course is that folks here are not making profit off these tables.

[Shockman]

Like I said before. It's really not a matter of should it be done, but who is going to do it.

 

Everyone works towards the same end. Cabs that play VP games. Some just work a bit harder to that end.

[freneticamnesic]

Dense. So very dense. Anyways I look forward to providing free tech support for these new cab customers.

--end sarcasm,

 just in case you can't tell the difference between copying (stealing)  and giving it away for free  and using it to sell something that is completely worthless without the VP files.

perfect response from a 70%er

take a look at the membership here or any other VP hobby site, there are three groups of people:

70% takers, table collectors (the gimmees) 
29% Table collects that are true supporters and tech support of the hobby (thankful and helpful at the same time)
1% software and content contributors 

 

author.... well you're kind of right... I don't think i ever used the word author to describe myself (i'm a tracer) 
as for the guys that have to code all these tables, the term author could be used for example look at Shoopity, he coded AMH, which is a SS/DMD table WITH NO ROM!
the code reads like a novel , that's not an author??
as for the other "Tracers" that's an art, it takes knowledge and methods to reproduce the original look... it also takes knowing how to work with many different software programs to achieve that look
then there are the 3D modelers and sculptors which again is a whole art in its own right.... i'm in awe by what is being produced

 

so, if you're coming on here with your nonsense, to stir a pot, i respect that, I love a good pot stirring.... but if you come on and really mean what you say .... you need to go back in your hole and continue to leech tables and show them as your own.... and speaking of your own, and this it only because of your disrespect to the content providers, DON'T LEAVE YOUR DAY JOB!

 

as for tables being included in Cabinet "manufacturers" cabinet, "resellers," anything and everything that pertains to VP is not to be included in anything that is up for resale. its just part of the hobbie's ethics.
as for if the authors care or don't care, its their right to have an opinion on their content, not everyone's content... some guy might say "its no big deal use what you want" but others might say "no, in no circumstance is my content to be used in a resale environment," this is the content provider's prerogative...
you have the right to your opinion, this is an open forum... but remember you're jumping into a "Shark Tank."
