Hello,
I’ve heard that FiveM has received C&D’s from Rockstar and I do not know as to what the legal procedure/loopholes were made now to prevent another.
A custom CoD:MW2 client (which I won’t name) notably uses Tor alongside its client exec to anonymize client and server nodes, so that Activision has essentially little or no way to press a C&D against said individuals. I would suggest that the FiveM does likewise just so no legal action will come their way again from Rockstar.
Thanks.
Im pretty sure the way they made the client it shouldn’t cause any legal issues.
Said MW2 clients have turned into a repetitive cesspool of self-referential jokes and developers pussying out after C&Ds despite the fact that Activision’s mean time between C&D and lawsuit is measured in years and only happens after making grave mistakes.
In addition, this project is hosted behind 3 proxies, each of which faster than any individual layer in the Tor network, with less burden on clients than embedding a Tor client like the latest CoD client memes do.
Another thing you should know: all these CoD clients are based on copy/pasted code from the original developer of FiveM - however the difference between the two is that while the CoD clients were based on leaks of code, and most takedown requests were from the original developer - not Activision! - CitizenFX/FiveM were actually open-source from the get-go, so we are operating legally with respects to NTAuthority’s rights.
