Mods with copyrighted music on the portal
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2019 5:04 pm
Looked for mod updates at mods portal and found some suspicious mods:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/StarCraft ... yMusicPack (StarCraft Antology Music Pack)
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/StarCraft_2_SFX (StarCraft II SFX)
And these are probably too:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CustomMus ... ttiasPart1 (Custom Music Part 1)
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CustomMus ... ttiasPart2 (Custom Music Part 2)
I suspect that these mods are simply breaking the EULA:
Probably there should be a feature to report mods on mod portal, as mods can sometimes have something dangerous or illegal inside.

I suspect that these mods are simply breaking the EULA:
I doubt that guy has got a permission from Blizzard to redistribute Starcraft OST and SFX under MIT or public domain license.All mods uploaded must have the permission from the author of the mod, and must not contain any copyrighted material unless it is permitted by the appropriate copyright owner.
