Why can't People be Original? (name stealing)

Post by Dux_Tell31 » Thu May 16, 2013 2:17 pm

I was browsing the Minecraft Forums the other day when I saw this:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/174 ... dpack-147/
Someones made a bloody futuristic Mod Pack with the same name as us. Just pointing it out, so that the Devs' are aware of it. I didn't say anything because I remember the whole PowerCraft fiasco from a while ago. So ya… dem copyrights…

It's not really name stealing when said title has to be the most uncreative one could think of when pondering sci fi minecraft modifications. No offense to mackeroth, of course, but this is just like Apple crying copyright when other companies added round edges to their tablets.

But still, we were unoriginal first. That has to count for something right?

It's a mod pack, it took literally no skill to assemble the mods, who honestly cares?

I care...?

That's it! We're changing the name of our mod to something much more original.

Suggestions?

Rebranding is expensive. We should first wait until the Futurecraft franchise is synonymous with large scale graft and corruption. Ivan, you can be in charge of the graft.

Fine, you can be in charge of corruption then.

How about the name Starcraft(No affiliation with the major game please don't sue us)

S(NAWTMGPDSU) could be its abbreviation!

Fr0stbyte, ever heard of the saying: "too many chiefs, not enough Indians"?
I.E., it everyone is in charge of something, then there's no one to take the orders?

What if people weren't in charge, but just had different responsibilities. Divide and conquer yes?
