Once you add a "can't" in describing a game there is a restriction, what if lots and lots of people start putting restrictions on their level cause they are pissed off at the community (we know theres lots of emo players that want to screw people). Then we have a wide spread trend of restrictions. People that won't play the game much may just make some levels and just give it to their friends and thats all, won't be added to the whole community.

I don't fully understand what that copyright does but what I gather from this thread that customizing other peoples levels and the trading of levels will be restricted on some points.

 

Too bad its not you cant do something but you can. They aren't saying "You cant have control of your creations" They are saying "You can have control" More options for us. More customization. More control. More fun. Less restrictions.

Another way to say the bold would be "You can add restrictions."

That is why most people are arguing that this is adding restrictions to the game.  Sure it's another option for you, but it's less content for the community.

 

 Less content that you never knew existed so big fucking deal. If something made you upset everytime something happened you never knew about youd be crying all the time.

Hey quess what. Someone just got muged. You had no clue who they were and you had no clue who it was. Oh well.

Guess what a baby just died. Someone just got killed in a drunk driving accident. An endagered panda just died. A forest just got caught on fire.

You have no clue about any of these and yet its happening as we speak. It doesnt effect you at all just like these restrictions.

Less content? Okay finish all the maps and tell me if you need less content. Again this doesnt effect you since you will never be able to play every single map.

This doesn't refute my point in the least.  As Sqrl said above, I don't have to play every level, but it removes that option for everyone.

In my opinion, a free flow of ideas is more conducive to creativity.  I think retrictions hinder that process.  I really don't see a reason for these protections since users will not be making money from their created levels.
