On the other side, I can not share the oppinion to Password-Protect the mod's...
1. 'cause sometimes, if you hear one of this songs just leaving you mouth-opened, you have to know HOw this is made and it improves your own skills...same for the sample-ripping which is okay I think if you mention...That's like the whole Internet works...Sharing, spreading, linking, learn from others....Mod's ARE & WILL BE the InternetSound....
2. HighSkilled Coders with too many freetime will create an Utiltie to crack the password-protection away...
i agree. to put it quite simply: passwords will kill the mod-scene. everything should be free, everything should be possible. and that includes samplz! MPEG the song if you want your petty samplz protected. the only restriction would be that you don't take credit for things that isn't your own. besides that: every code can be cracked. it's the golden rule.
here's a message for carbon: why do you even steal songs from others? i can't show off with songs that aren't actaully mine. i rather show crappy songs that i made myself than showing the best songs of the world that i even didn't made. cuz i know they're not mine and that doesn't make feel me comfortable.
