In reckon autodesk would still have legal rights to take down your game. What would then be the position with your game, where you used assets created by student licenses through no fault of your own. But that does not mean it is.Īlso if you bothered to read the post you would see this thread is about what will happen if we bought assets on the unity store for our game which later down the road was revealed to have been created by student licenses or pirated copies. ^ A lot of things tend to smell like something it isn't.įor example cooking a pig or processed corned beef in a tin can often smell like rancid unwashed maybe even rotten vagina. The rest depends on local laws and how well law system works.įor example, in some countries pirating expensive produce like AutoCad may result in prison time, because cost of the software surpasses thresold after which the act is considered to be a criminal offense instead of administrative one. Someone who is big and uses pirated software for ocmmercial purposes is very likely to catch attention, be noticed by copyright owner and get a lawsuit. I don't think that ever resulted for positive publicity for the company, though. So what happens when a person uploads a model on the unity store but these models were made with student copies or pirate cracked copies? what happens then? Autodesk will sue you for using it in your game through no fault of your own? what happens to the person who uploads these assets? has there ever been a case where Autodesk tried to sue an Indie Dev?Ĭlick to expand.There were several anti-piracy cases, basically, occasionally a big company tries to make someone a scapegoat and sues them for ridiculous amount of money. Surely they aren't just giving out these 3 year student licenses on their site by just creating a new fake email and creating a new account every 3 years? if they didn't have a way to verify this they would never have put up those student copies which happen to be 100% full retail copies its not like student versions are limited or anything like that.

As I understand Autodesk has ways of checking assets to see if there is meta data and from this they can know what license was used to create it. I am talking about like say someone is using a student copy of MAYA or a Pirated Copy from torrent or something. Click to expand.I am not sure I understand this statement.
