Yea, don't worry, Catalyst-Gaming isn't going anywhere. We're working on some new things that were on the back burner but just got pushed ahead.

abbot common stop bad for you if u watch anime all day nigga u fuckn weaboo
Tom if you were not employed by roflwaffle that means he doesn't owe you any money and he doesn't have to pay you dumbass. Due to CG being based in the US, it follows the laws of the US. Meaning the labor laws. He doesn't owe you a penny.Edit: Also, if it wasn't copyrighted then good fucking luck trying to stop roflwaffle from getting it back l0l
Maybe we can start fresh with a standalone HRP rather then a DarkRP based one.

If someone wants to start the project I would greatly help out. I want a programming project to work on.Overall, I don't know the specifics of the situation but I think that there could have been a better way of handling this. THOMASAS was very childish in ripping out all of HRP and leaving the whole community hanging. In the US all work is considered copyrighted however; sometime along the line (I cannot say for sure because again I do not know what happened with the code.) the game mode may have had ownership transferred or it may not have. We will never know unless we know the specifics of the situation. Given that THOMASAS was paid to do the programming and put it on catalyst gaming's servers it is highly possible that copywright ownership may have changed. (INAL so if you want the most accurate answer ask one.)FOR THE CATALYST-GAMING STAFF: TAKE AN IMAGE OF THE SERVER DRIVE NOW so that you have an image of the disk before you overwrite any "lost" data on the disk from when HRP was removed. Try to write as little new data to the server as the files may be recoverable by computer forensics. When something is deleted from a computer it is not "deleted" the data is removed from the computers index so to the computer the files are gone however it is possible that they could be recovered if they "lost" data is not overwritten by new data.I would HIGHLY recommend either getting someone familiar with computer forensics or do it yourself with software.THOMASAS there was a better way to go about this.... I did not want to see this after working today......Post Auto-Merged: August 30, 2013, 10:58:20 PMQuote from: TOMASAS on August 30, 2013, 02:53:26 PMQuote from: Somone77 on August 30, 2013, 02:41:45 PMQuote from: TOMASAS on August 30, 2013, 02:36:16 PMJust because you 'pay' for the development doesn't give you copyright ownership.Quote from: www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdfIf a work is made for hire, the employer or other personfor whom the work was prepared is the initial owner of thecopyright unless both parties involved have signed a writtenagreement to the contrary.It wasn't a contract job/hire, nor was I employed at CG.

What it is saying is that because you were being paid by catalyst-gaming.net to make the game-mode that catalyst-gaming.net is the owner of the game-mode unless you had a contract that said that the game-mode was yours. which according to you, you don't. So therefore you stole the game-mode which rightfully under US copywrite law belongs to Catalyst-gaming.net
