[Important!] Dreamtown Stealing!!!

[-Apples-]

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

But we still shouldn't do this. Originality is best when it comes to making dream towns.

well that depends, you can use towns for ideas, take ideas for different towns but them together and boom! your dream town!

besides, my town is based of North, although i am not copying it block by block...

1. that made no sense 2. Is anyone actually reading my whole comments, not only little bits...

please read what I wrote too because I also read yours. The original poster (on the first page) did not bring up any copyright issue. Yes, bringing the whole copyright issue up is a bit overreacting, but some people have commented in a very illogical way (bascially saying that no one is going to lawyer up for dream town stealing, which is true, and in no way can anyone have their dream town designs registered, thus copying dream towns do not constitute stealing) and that's why the notion that "everything is copyrighted the moment they are created" is being brought up

I did read it, I'm sorry if it didn't make any sense to me, is that a crime now?

Is stealing a crime? Yes it is. Is stealing a bag of candy from your local convenient store a crime? Yes it is. Is stealing someone's work for your thesis a crime? Yes it is.

Will you be prosecuted for stealing a dream town? No you won't. Is it a bad thing to do, I think most everyone has come to a consensus, it is a bad thing to do.

What!? I never said stealing was not a crime! I just said: I did read it, I'm sorry if it didn't make any sense to me, is that a crime now? -.-"

I'm sorry that I misread your post. If my wordings came across as offensive, I apologize for that.

I see what you mean. Yeah, stuff like arch in front of house (which was part of my idea), okay. Copying the whole town, not so good.

And for a future reference, try not to start or continue any arguments. I know you're not arguing with me, but try not to do it to anybody. Yeah, the user you told to "grow up" is rude in general, but even if they are being rude, just leave them alone. I'm sick of seeing copyright related topic being brought up here.

Oh, and one more thing, do you have a dream town I can visit? I would like to see what you have done. I'm not gonna steal, but I just want to visit.

THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER ONE where people are making it so that they can post whatever as a TPC photo, which can lead to innapropriate doings such as nudity or other vile images. With this you might think "oh not as bad." but think about it...

I hated when people posted nudity pictures on Halo 3 when they were just supposed to be in-game screenshots. I feel for the kids online who stumble across someone with that kind of picture.

Sometimes, kids are the culprit of nudity. Kids always think they're mature, but they're really immature when they try to use inappropriate content. The kids in South Park are very mature, but that doesn't mean the same is always true in real life. Being mature doesn't mean you can submit mature content. It means responsibility and behaving right.

Yea but tbh they were going to see those 'nudity pics' sooner or later. Lots of kids have easy access to p0rn sites and all that.

And I don't think it's their fault. Parents these days are educating their kids like that.

and schools don't help... God when i walked past my old school the things i hear year 4-5 kids talk about i was so shocked, i didn't know that kinda rude stuff when i was that age! XD God thankful i have never seen anyone with a rude picture in acnl but the only the only "cheat" I know in the photo booth is the filter trick... hold L button for black and white and hold R button for a "senpia" toned picture... pretty cool!

It's naive to think that parents or school have any power over kid's actions. I remember being a kid. Once you go to school, you pretty much lose all respect and authority over your parents and teachers because all you want to do is impress your friends, or you have chosen someone else as an authority. Nowadays it's usually youtubers or other influencers but it was a thing with many other kinds of "idols" in the past. No matter how good the parent or teacher is, doesn't mean a kid will listen to them lol. Even if they act like they are listening they still think they know better. Because kids are humans with their own opinions too, even if they're often not the smartest. Also that thing with photo filters isn't a "cheat", more like an easter egg, since it's an intended function in the game.

I honestly don't think Dream Town stealing is that bad. There's little to no consequence to this since there is no actual "rating" system in the game. Yeah it is a bit sucky to get something somebody worked on for free but I doubt these people advertise these towns as their own, they usually just are too lazy to make their own town look nice so they take other's, and mostly use it for playing in it.

Oh, boy. That's a big necro there, Jhud... This thread is five years old.
