Having seen this, I'm not convinced that you aren't one and the same!

Is this the video that you are referring to? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAIMryUf7wU If so, they said that they made that and that it is their own mod.

Suing is an extreme action, and you should not do it unless it's absolute necessary.
If you have a problem with creator, it's always best to settle a dispute (aka compromising).

People make mistakes, sometimes a reminder is enough to fix the problem.
If you want to prevent this from happening again, consider writing a better license.

L
if u post it to the public then its 100% ur fault

sue him

yes you should sue him you will 100% win!1!1

this is a joke right?

I'd like to formally address this in what's probably the most helpful way possible, but first I'd like to note something: It took you 6 months to notice that upload, and the poster of the video seems more than willing to cooperate ("Hi no worries tell me how, you can find your mods in the description"). You also have your own YouTube channel with multiple uploads and show an understanding of how to upload YouTube videos, yet haven't made an upload of your own mod yourself?

You also included Crosoft's video as a mod review in your own mod post so I'm a bit concerned about the validity of this. I will say that you included the phrase, "DO NOT POST ON OTHER WEBSITES," but you neglected to include whether this means posting the mod itself or uploading content about the mod. I would recommend clarifying the former.

(I also find it odd that you chose to capitalize every single word in this post, but that's completely irrelevant. Crosoft does the same thing on their own channel, so I'm also not entirely sure that you're not the same person.)

On the phrase, "All Rights Reserved:"

The phrase, "All Rights Reserved," doesn't actually hold any legal weight, and is also defunct as of August 23, 2000. It's still used, but it still has no legal effect.

On copyright law:

Crosoft hasn't actually violated any laws, but I will note that in countries where the rights of the Berne Convention applies, (any countries except Western Sahara, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Uganda, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, New Caladenia (French territory), Franz Joseph Land, Cabo Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Antarctica,) copyright is automatic and doesn't require any official registration through any legal office.

On suing:

There's no point in suing. Lawyers and lawsuits are incredibly expensive and you'll lose precious time and money over this. Just tell them how they can credit you (such as including your name and a link to your PMC and your mod upload in their description) and rest.

Personal opinion:

You are severely overreacting. It's just a 24 second non-verbal mod review, and while they did claim to make it, ("Polar Bear Cafe Is My All Time Favorite Anime, And It's Awesome! I Got The Idea To Make It In Minecraft, And Here It Is!" which again implies it might just be you,) you can just have them remove that line and credit you, and, again, they seem very willing to cooperate.

- If he used your mod without any kind of credit or even claimed it(repost), so there is a reason of being kinda angry. You could mention the fact that he should give some credit. If he credits you because he forgot or something - it's fine, BUT If he would act agressive or "I have that deep", I would react with a report.
+ But if he made a review, shared his opinion, gave you feedback, in your place I would feel honoured that my mod is enough good to get any feature. Some people have to beg for being noticed.
* Suing would give you more problems than it is really worth. Imagine waiting and "sh*tting" with the whole procedures and judgements. Lawyers don't belong to the cheapest employees. Is it worth the time, nerves and money?


That's my point of view on this thread. I am open for the opinions of others

Based on how you are acting in these comments I am
guessing you used mcreator for the mods, if you did than you have no control at all. When you make a mod through mcreator (or any other mod code generator the code generator has ownership over the mod, not you

If I found any of my creations like the Nether Crimson Creeper or my Pixelmon maps on another server or youtube video... I'd be elated

Now if they didn't provide credit or tried to claim it as their own, that'd piss me off

Mate this is literally fair use, you made it public for everyone to use, he linked and credited you, calm down

This used to happen to me all the time when i did mods about 3 years ago. You cant really do anything about it. Suing would be a major waste of money and time (and may not even work as your legal rights inside minecraft are iffy) maybe try reaching out to him and ask him to credit you or provide a link to the mod in the video description, if that isnt the problem and you just dont want him making a review in general then you cant do anything about that as your mod is posted publicly. But if it is the credit being gone and he isnt doing anything about it lmk and i can help

What is the video let me check

He Even Copied The Description Of My Mod

It's called Fair Use. https://support.google.com/legal/answer/4558992?hl=en
If you don't want people to use or see or talk about your mod don't publish it publicly.

Fragile egos like yours are very trollable. So here is my piece of advice to keep them off your back: leave them alone.
