| Street Fighter V Costume Modders Catch DMCA Warnings Prominent PC modders BrutalAce and Khaledantar666 are scaling their operations after receiving DMCA takedown notices from Capcom for paywalled Street Fighter V mods. The reasoning, it seems, is that they were using copyrighted materials to make the mods and profiting from it via Patreon. Maybe they shouldn't have accepted donations, but their work is/was pretty impressive. "The DMCA notice was issued because Capcom is stating that we (modders) are using copyrighted materials to make our mods and earn something from our work," Khaledantar666's statement reads. He goes on to say that though activity on Patreon will cease, they will continue to create mods and operate on their various other channels. At this time, it appears that Capcom is only targeting mods that are locked behind a paywall. We have reached out to Capcom for comment on the matter and are currently awaiting a response. BrutalAce also posted a going away message on Patreon yesterday morning, but cites different reasons for the hiatus. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2017/08/...ca_warnin gs/ |
