And my other maps than the first.
For this reason I am putting this topic on the 
saying that this site had plagiarized my files without my permission and also to in get your site without your permission...
I answered that email saying that I do not want to put my maps on that site and that they not had my permission.
I expect answers soon , And sorry for anything, I'm just defending myself.
If you are seeing errors in writing, is because I used a translator very bad.

Very..strange. How somebody can steal your files (=use without your permission) ? If you really don't want to upload your maps there you should write an email to admin of this page or ask lawyer (if youREALLY want to defend yourself from stealing maps you created) @
Avo:
Yes very strange, but I sent an email to the manager talking about my rights and so far no response.

Just do what they said, DC has nothing to do with that.
Good, so keep it to yourself, because no one here really cares. DC Admin Offline
Are you serious? You dirty attention whore! "Look DC" is obviously one of the worst titles possible! It tells us NOTHING about this thread and its content! Stop using pointless titles already! (Title changed!)
About your problem: I'm not involved at all. I assume that a bot from them took the file somehow from somewhere and sent you that mail automatically. They probably do that to get more files and more traffic and more money. I don't know. I can't help you. As already said: Contact them, not me. Z- User Offline
Why even post this if you already sent off an email. Like we really can do anything about it.
And as @ Mechanolith: pointed out, just follow their directions. @ DC:
Yes, I've done that and I sent two messages to them, but are not solving anything, even if I do not want my maps remain on this site.
If you and nobody can solve it, who am I to stop them.

Don't expect them to answer on the same day. Contact a lawyer if they don't respond and if it is really so important to you...
I personally don't see any problem. They help you to make your map more famous. I wouldn't mind.
Seriously... you shouldn't upload your map anywhere if you have problems with people sharing your map. It's the internet. You know. THE INTERNET! People share stuff on the internet. That's how it works! The map looks stupid. I don't know why they use it for money. I have the same problem. They stole (other name for this thing?) ALL of my maps (something about 15-20 maps). I'm going to send e-mail to them, or register in softpedia and spam everywhere :3 Can you help me? :3 @ BaDgEr:
Cannot understand if trolling or just stupid. They are promoting your map, making it more famous. It's the Internet, damn you, guys. I can pick any of your maps and upload it anywhere without your damn permission and I will not violate any law. Agrh. edited 1×, last 15.05.12 10:07:07 am

@ oxytamine: You might actually violate copyright laws by doing so but nearly nobody cares. You simply have to expect those things when you upload stuff to public websites.
That's why I said: Don't upload stuff if you don't want it to be shared.
@ BaDgEr: Spamming websites is retarded and for stupid kids that don't know anything. Don't do it. If it was a joke: Not funny at all. DC has written
@
oxytamine: You might actually violate copyright laws by doing so but nearly nobody cares.
But if there is no copyright, there is no problem? - I'm not far sighted in this subject. Correct me if wrong. As @ DC: said, can not stop them because they're already on the internet and now I can not do anything else.

@ Yates: I don't know how it works in other countries but in Germany there is a copyright law that automatically protects everything you create on your own. Nobody is allowed to use and copy your stuff unless you explicitly allow it. DC has written

That's how it should be anyway, people do have intellectual property over their creations and it's not up to others to decide what to do with these creations as much stupid as they are, but up to the creator himself. @ DC: They have already removed, you can close if you want. Admin/mod comment
No, I don't want to do that because it is not necessary to close any threads unless idiots continue to spam in them. Please never post something like this again! Thanks! /DC stealing maps? 0.o how is that even possible. your map was made on a freeware game to be shared and played by other players for free, each new player owns the map once he downloads it form the server. and speaking of lawyers, no lawyer would give the slightest crap about a cs2d map, and i'm sure the bot owners that are doing this are much more secured legally then u might think.
