Lol there is so much talk about how people "steal" models. FYI, the people who made the models didn't get permission from the owners of Naruto to make models of there characters for a game, so legally that would be steal (not that anyone will get in trouble, just proving a point). Futhermore, thanks to the nifty useragreement we all signed in wc3 world editor, once the models are uploaded, blizzard owns them. So people can't really whine about stolen models when blizzard techinically owns them
You are completely wrong here. Blizzard entertaiment only saves the rights of any material produced using the World Editor. 3D Models aren't owned by Blizzard Entertaiment, unless ofcourse, it be an edit of a blizzard copyrighted model within the game. If you steal a 3D model from a map and it results that the model is legally copyrighted (None of the models here are copyrighted, but lets say in case that one be copyrighted(like game ripps)), you could still be sued by the author.
and ofcourse if here in the HiveWorkShop, we find someone extracting models from other map, without the author's permission, he and his map are banned for good.
