[Important!] Dreamtown Stealing!!!

[J e s s i c a]

You misunderstand. It's impossible for you to copy towns because you've updated. The update does nothing to "protect" your dream town.

*face palm* I just posted saying I don't have a dream address because i don't!

ok, but we're all forgetting something important here

that we can finally see what's in the closed off room of アィカ's house

Why are people trying to justify this.
There's a difference between trying to copy/making it similar like placing the same pwps, paths and stuff from creating a save dump file of the town and loading it into your cartridge thus creating an entire carbon copy of the town.

If any of you found two towns that are exactly alike from paths, villagers, river, flower arrangements, houses from coincidental causes, feel free to link me then.

There is probably a lot of towns that match eachother exactly coincidentally
Infact I'll teach you how to make one of these towns on purpose, in a way that could easily happen by accident, without cheats or hacks
Everyday, do NOTHING in your town except update your dream. This actually happens to people who don't have much time
Luna should eventually give you a new DA.
With the way AC works the old one still exists
Boom, you made 2 identical towns.

Bull****. Like the many Spindas in pokemon that look nothing alike.

Well the program that allows people to steal Dream Towns is down for a bit, so I guess this'll prevent a small percent from stealing for a while.

I'm not attacking anyone with this or trying to start another flame war, just pointing this out since I've seen the idea that copyright has to be registered to be valid pop up a lot in the last few pages, even though copyright actually applies to works the moment they're created.

i definitely thought that copyrights worked this way, but all of the information i could find on intellectual properties said that a copyright must be appealed for. thank you for clearing this up!

in that case, it is most definitely illegal to steal a town's original custom designs. which definitely makes duplicating dream towns a bad thing, regardless of whether or not people think it's "cool" that people can perform such tasks.

LOL all I care about is if this hack can help me avoid diving for PWPs.

You can unlock every PWP with the PWP unlocker hack!

How is telling somebody to grow up is being bratty? it isn't... Also (I didn't read every single post but i don't think i need to) people seemed to be talking this a bit too seriously but it's obvious that it's silly to bring copyright into this but there is no need to be all immature about it...

 

[inkling]

What is the name of this program? I never heard of it.

The original post about this had nothing to do with copyrights.

Even if it doesn't affect your game, you should still care. What if you written a book, then someone copied your book, took the credit, and got famous for it? Wouldn't you be upset about it? This is what the dream town thing is like.

I know there is a huge difference, but for the last time, all I'm trying to say is that the emotional results are the same. You are the original creator/writer of the dream town/book, someone stole your idea, got famous for it, and you don't have the credit you deserve. Being upset about it is where the emotional results are the same. Trying to sue someone, that's not implied. You can see why I made some comparison, but some people on the internet purposely tries to misinterpret my posts to make me look like an outcast. If it wasn't for their misinterpretations, the whole copyright thing wouldn't be brought up here.

Well the program that allows people to steal Dream Towns is down for a bit, so I guess this'll prevent a small percent from stealing for a while.

Just to point out, there are to my knowledge 3 differently hosted systems at the moment to steal a town through dreams. And the ram editor that has been down cannot steal a dream town alone. (Though it's practically required to fix all the broken things afterwards as the town stolen usually ends up a hot mess.)

I didn't realise this thread existed until now. But if anyone has any outstanding questions/concerns I can help answer them, I've used this to revive my old corrupt town with it's dream address so I know enough. (And I won't be answering "How do you hack?" because that's against TBT rules.)

what's so bad about iggy

does she hack too

No but she is a thief

anyway in the past 12 pages has anyone really figured out if they're stealing or just copying it block to block? Like the amount of effort is amazing

Dude, I was talking about two completely identical towns by two different players. :|

It's not copied block for block. It can be done in about 5 minutes. But as I said earlier, I used it to recover my old town that corrupt and the town is a bit of a mess. (flowers/dig spots spawn on plaza tiles, in the river and ocean, and no furniture came with it so empty houses!)

Copyright is only mentioned because several people commented on the fact that user-created content cannot be legally protected, thus not copyrighted, thus are up for grabs (the action of copying another person's town therefore does not constitute stealing), which is not the case
