when i searched up some assets, a lot of them had free pirated versions. is unity aware of this?
Yes unity is aware of this.
Yup. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done. Where Unity can take action they do. Where the asset owners can take action they do. But piracy is an international challenge. And its very hard to enforce rules on other countries.
I should make make a pirate version of my assets / games that has a hidden command line inside it that erases your entire Harddrive lol.
wait if you sell a game with pirated assets will you get arrested to fined or something?
Well I’d first think the said owner would have to prove they pirated said products.
Then, I would think that the owner(s) of said products would decide which route to take, if any at all.
Is it worth spending millions to track somebody down in Vietnam from the States, then lawyer fees, etc.
Just to make an example? Yeah I’m sure under certain circumstances it would be worth the effort.
if you have the money to shell out for it at least.
You’re making it sound like you’re asking on behalf of your self now.
Just don’t.
