Hi,
I normally try to stay out of these flame wars, but having done a Law degree
and having people rip off the code to our mod (HLRally), I can't stand it
anymore.
1. As soon as you create something it is copyrighted. Therefore, Valve owns
the copyright to all the models they have produced.
2.
Exactly, there is NO legal way he could have created this - short of
guessing, and that isn't exactly possible without a few thousand people on
the case...

:( ... what about the model importers in the QuArK level editor now? Are they all illegal, because someone had to look at released source code from Quake or the Half-Life SDK and use some models as test cases? I wrote an article about the structure of Half-Life models now and I'm unsure if I will
Valve may have sent him the models after he signed an NDA.
Never assume ... For when you do ... It makes an ass out of u and me.

Someone other than Valve would have a hard time of keeping a copyright due
to the fact that industrial espionage was used to get them.

heh, I didnt. gotta do it for university, i know C++, just i thought it
might cause me to get banned if i run qbasic while on steam as it might
think its a cheat program or something? also seems odd that qbasic wont go
into fullscreen mode after steam is completly stopped, probably something to
do
