Zitat: Original von for your faKe ich denke der hat die frage falsch verstanden, so wie sich das anhört geht der davon aus, dass die mod geleakt ist und nicht, dass diese nur geleakten content verwendet

Naja, da gabs eigentlich nicht viel falsch zu verstehen. Das war meine Anfrage:
"I have a question regarding the Mod (?) "Missing Information".
I found this Mod at gamespot (downloadable since the middle of 2007). Now I read several postings, that this mod is illegal, because it uses leaked E3-content - other informations on the web say, that this mod is legal and was autorized by valve / authorized by Gabe Newell, because some parts of the E3-Stuff were taken out / replaced by retail-files.
I couldn't find an official statement from Valve.
So please people - can you give me an answer to my question? Is "Missing Information" legal or illegal?"
Die Mail an Gabe (Antwort ausständig) sieht so aus:
"Hi Gabe,
first of all I would like to wrap all my enthusiasm for Valve-Games and Steam in short words:
Thank you for making the gaming world a better one!
Now I have a question regarding the HL2-Mod "Missing Information". I already asked the Steam-support, but the answer was a little diffuse.
Is the Mod "Missing Information" (downloadable since middle 2007 at gamespot and other sites) legal or illegal?
Here are two Download-Links to the Mod:
<Die Links habe ich mal entfernt>
I read many postings saying that it is illegal because of the use of the leaked E3-Stuff. Other postings say that so many things in "Missing Information" were changed / fixed / updated and replaced with retail-stuff, that even Valve "tolerated" it.
I couldn't find an official statement by Valve, so my question goes directly to you: Can the "Missing Information"-Mod be played without scruples, or is it illegal?
Thanks, best wishes and I'm really looking forward to Episode 3!"
Mal schauen was da kommt.
Ich finde schon raus wie der legale Status dieser Mod aussieht - auch wenn ich 2000 weitere Leute anschreiben muß, mir die Finger vom Mails schreiben abfallen, und ich den Verstand dabei verliere
