๐ Rules about my content / Copyrighted material (Patreon)
Content
I've been told a part of the content I share exclusively here on Patreon was now available on other platforms, which means some people here share my work without my permission. I'm rather pissed off by this behavior so let's clarify what you can and what you can't do with my content.
โ๏ธ You can use it :
- for a private use OR/AND
- to create YOUR OWN videos/sequences which you can then share wherever you like. Creditting me as the original animator or model maker is the only thing I ask (i.e. 'Animations by Nick Cockman'/'Models by Nick Cockman').
๐ซ You're not allowed to:
- share my content anywhere (even if you credit me as the original author). It includes : animations, videos, models, textures & outfits, sequences.
If you've already shared a part of my content, I'm willing to keep my eyes shut for this time, all you have to do is to delete it from the platform you uploaded it to.
But if you don't or if you don't respect those basic rules in the future, you'll be blocked for good. Moreover, just think about it, it's not in your interest to do this : the more time I spend watching/contacting the hosting sites to report the stolen content, the less I have to create (not to mention the moral impact). And here are the consequences in the long term : loss of time to create -> loss of content quality -> loss of patrons -> end of the adventure. Do you really want this to happen ?

Now, my case. If I ask you that, I must also be blameless, which I'm not. You noticed I used copyrighted music in my previous videos, which is also a problem I want to fix. This will stop after the next release. From now on, the next videos will only contain non copyrighted music and I'll delete all my previous videos (except World of Whorecraft 1, which is OK) and I won't reupload them.
So if you want to see them again later, make sure you downloaded them ! (I'll delete all my videos after the next release.)

Sorry for this long and unpleasant post, guys, I know most of you respect my work, but things had to be said.
