I have thought quite long of posting this here ... but I think it has to be done.

First of all:
This is the text which can be read in EVERY ECP stadium installer - big and clearly. It can't be misunderstodd so there is no space for discussions:

IMPORTANT:

THIS FILE IS PROPERTY OF FIFA ECP ! www.fifaecp.com
IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO OFFER THIS FILE ANYWHERE ELSE THAN ON www.fifaecp.com ! IF YOU WANT TO OFFER A FILE ON ANY OTHER SITE, PLEASE CONTACT A MEMBER OF FIFA ECP !

IF YOU GOT THIS FILE FROM ANY OTHER WEBSITE THAN www.fifaecp.com PLEASE CONTACT US.

Thank you :)

Well, today I'm reading in a German forum that a user has found ALL our stadiums in a DL center of www.soccercenter.net
But that's not all.

They have converted my Fenerbahce stadium, which had been made for FIFA 2004, to FIFA 06 and also published it on their site. I can't understand any turkish but I assume that "Kerim" is shown as the "publisher" of this stadium - and only right on the bottom of the site is a small link to www.fifaecp.com and my name.

Link : http://www.soccercenter.net/index.php?sayfa=Dosya&eylem=DosyaGoster&dosyaid=870&kanalid=5

I call this thieving - this stadium has been built by hours, days, weeks, months of hard, hard work (in my free-time !!!), so I think you can clearly understand why I and NOBODY ELSE can decide where and when this stadium is going to be published.
It is really an effrontery to publish it anywhere else than on www.fifaecp.com - without any mail, notice, question, remark ... that's why I call it thieving.

I know that I can't do much about it - the internet is just too big to stop stupid people from doing things like this - but I can only appeal to you to remember such things.

If there's anyone from soccercenter.net here :

PLEASE TAKE THIS STUFF OFF YOUR SITE - COMPLETELY. EVERY ECP STADIUM, NOT ONLY FENERBAHCE.

You have NO right to publish those files there! Just read the copyright informations ...


Ok, I just wanted to tell you this.

Some days ago, I also saw two other sites also publishing ECP stadiums on THEIR download centres.

I also can only appeal to them:

TAKE THE ECP FILES OFF YOUR SITE. You have NO right to have them there!

For everybody interested, those are the two sites:

http://fifau.com/modules.php?name=Files&go=showcat&cid=4

http://www.fifahungary.com/modules.php?name=Letoltesek&d_op=fajlinfo&lid=4933
fifahungary is also hosting our files - this is illicit !

By the way ... if you find any other site doing similar things with ECP media ... just post it here. PLEASE !

Ok that's enough ... I hope you can understand my anger and my reasons to publish it here. Things like this are really making me think about stopping all that editing work, which is for YOU, the community.

Thank you.

Someone just told me that there are also other files, not only files by ECP. Maybe you should look if they published even other files without permission on their site.

I can only talk about the ECP files - but here it's clear. The copyright clearly says that what soccercenter.net is doing is illegal.

So, guys from soccercenter.net, take the files off your server, delete the download entrys and publish a news telling the users this. This is the least you can do ...

I understand your pain man, but there's nothing we can here. I'll close this and people will still eba ble to read this, but what you have to do is contact the soccercenter guys yourself and make them remove the files. We can only act if the plagiarism is done on the boards.
So if they publish news about these stolen files here on the boards then PM me and we'll red card them, ban them, etc. :)
