For the love of christ, not this shit again.
I really wish you people wouldn't get so worked up over this. YET AGAIN, I'll lay it out.
MORALLY, this is wrong. The maps are protected for varying reasons, the best two being that either the content is unifinished and not ready for a release, or because the map author doesn't want to share. In either case, the ideal community member should be respectful of this wish and ask the author if they can use the content beforehand, and to not circumvent encryptions and whatnot, as this is how copyrights work in the real world, and it's what we in the business call a "dick move" when someone betrays another's simple wishes to meet their own ends.
LEGALLY, all of you are wrong. None of us own shit. The minute we process source files in Tool or hit Save/Save As in Guerilla's file menu, the data generated belongs to Bungie. The map file also belongs to Bungie. If you can't deal with the reality that your content may be used without your permission (which is not yours to even give in the first place), I kindly suggest that you get the fuck out and go mod Source or Unreal- oh wait, they're open source to begin with, you'd cry even more about it. If anything, Bungie should be cracking down on all of us for reverse-engineering their data structures and engine, as it says right in the fucking EULA that we aren't supposed to do that.
In short, stop fucking crying about people ripping tags. I'm sick to death of this drama. Personally, I'd prefer it if people would do it the nice way, but I don't see a reason for people to get bitchy when people use "their" tags without permission.
THIS IS ARE TAGS
