Community Pulse - October 2023 Edition

This will not kill the platform what so ever it will benefit the platform, like R* have stated in there own TOS your not allowed to use branded IP copyrighted assets in there Singleplayer game also and they have brought that across to FiveM after buying them I see nothing wrong with it and support it.

Understandable, and agreed, and also no arguing on my end just honestly wanted to hear ur opinion based of me having to ask about the maps in gabz, Thanks again and i see where R* is coming from and why they doing it, (Modding isnt allowed in GTA anyway lol) As ppl it was just continued and or overlooked until R* bought Fivem

Mmm okay i see it, thats fair, so do u think they will strike ppl for doing what they do but in other ways to other cars? You are right tho 100%.

No you won’t get in trouble for it, as long as you make it clear in your release. For example you give the vehicle a new lore friendly name, and then outline the inspirations for the vehicle and what’s changed. Then you should be fine.

Enforcing long-standing rules in a community filled with users exploiting others’ content for profit is the main reason for all of this. Before 2020, making money from FiveM was discouraged. The Tebex integration changed that, attracting both quality developers and those seeking full-time income, often disregarding the ethics of how they got the money. They sell namebrand cars and content they don’t own, and expected the gravy train to never end.

I’ve bought namebrand cars, knowing it might change. Criticizing Cfx or Rockstar for enforcing known rules is a lesson in futility, they aren’t going to change their minds because our actions risk legal exposure for Take-Two. This won’t end FiveM but might remove poorly managed servers and an entitled and often times nasty playerbase. Look how people spoke to Beedan up above, complaining about how he runs Gabz’s support in the Discord. I’ve interacted with him twice there needing support and both times he was pleasant and respectful. I’d wager the majority of people who have issues, have them because they came in with a terrible attitude and were mean-spirited, which provoked a similar reply. I hope this wakes the FiveM community up, flushes out some of the worst this community has to offer, and brings in some new creatives who will make some great original UGC.

Yes, you are right. TOS = TOS and that has nothing to do with fair/personal use. My main point is that using vehicle mods for personal use doesn’t violate any copyright laws. If you use real-life car mods, it will violate TOS, but at least where I live, it doesn’t break any copyright laws as long as it’s for private use. I’m just saying that because some users are spreading false information about copyright law.

All mods are against R* TOS but they “accepted” it for years like a lot of other Gamestudios do. I remember R* posting videos of mods and praising the modding community back in the days. But this whole scene got full of greedy devs, selling ripped models for money and that’s the whole issue. The problem we have is that R* takes action now, even if you just want to have fun with some mods.

Btw im not that guy that just wants to stick with real life car brands, im changing everything to vanilla and i kinda like it. It’s just sad that it had to come to this point.

Please read this primer.

None of this is new. It has been in the TOS for years, though there has been no manpower to enforce.

If I’m wrong, and the constitution permits theft of intellectual property, please provide legal citations for that.
Be sure to detail what constitution you are citing, though, as Cfx.re is not incorporated in the United States.

I haven’t spoke down to anyone ? I asked a question mate.

Hello cfx,seems like Redm have this issue where we can only see 32 people at one place.if someone come and be the 33th player in the area we cant see him.Is there any info regarding this problem? I hope this problem can be fixed.

Thats why they have fair use laws, Rockstar and cfx are coming in with the big lawyers scaring people. Alot of the stuff they are claiming are covered under fair use the problem is so many people are trying to profit off the the assests thats when your no longer protected under fair use laws. Cfx basically screwed themselves be on the lookout for a alternative in less than 12 months most likely will be chinese based.

Drinking the Kool-Aid is always fun.

What your not understanding is that we are entering a slippery slope Beedan. Personally I don’t mind the loss of cars, because we have much already from pre-cayo perico to now. My aim is more towards the fact of gradual restriction. (( This includes maps and assets, which from previous/future r titles. They most certainly could allow the playerbase to use but due to current ownership refute. ))*

Last month, we are told we can’t mirror/have similar to: Extremism, glorification of hate groups or real-world militia groups. If you don’t know why this is an issue, these are more towards the fact that you eliminate unique storylines for both criminals and law enforcement, when you remove the ability to explore these topics in a roleplay server. My concern rests with the fact of every community pulse being more restrictive to the RP community, except in the circumstance of banning the use of child player models and other highly-elicit acts, it was very cringe going into servers with grown men and women doing those things.

cool !

If you click on the link you’ll see it’s also for RedM

so anything but the big name servers that youtubers run will possibly be shut down because of using irl brands? some youtubers that run servers have already said they wont stop using real brands

if they wont stop using real brands, then they will most likely first get a warning and if they persist, they will get shutdown, theres no workaround

considering most youtubers that run servers have been for years and probably helped get a lot of people into fiveM, i dont see them being shut down. unless gta as a whole ends then always will be cars that look like a irl brand just different name. every car in base gta is based off a real car model, everyone know that. theres no real way to not have real cars just because they arent called the name of the real car

with that logic, a dev could just add a f150 for example and call it anything but that if it has no badge or names on it. like the caracara is made to pretty much be a f150 with a few other truck designs added

So? this doesnt make the exempt from the law

The keyword is “based off”, it is not an exact copy using the exact same branding like in real life.

Youtubers will not be exempt just because they are big, copyright laws are copyright laws and they go for every person in society.
