Our mod has been stolen

[EoN]

EoN is correct, there are author rights. I told them so and quoted part of the copyright laws, however they disagree citing to some kind of "registration" and even "patents" (invention!), which we know not to be true. Basically they rejected author rights and do not wish to respect them at all. All attempts for civilized talk ended up with insulting us, and recent posts even suggest that neither Igiss is the author of the Discover nor has anyone of the credited person made the ships. In other words playing dummy and trolling.

It doesn't matter if they agree with author rights or not. As an author you only need to publish it and you automatically have those rights.
The registration is only needed for copyrights and patent doesn't apply here as this isn't an invention like a new type of motor for a car.
This mod was released and worked on for years from what I can read in the Readme. It was posted on several sites for people to download and most likely has the dates when those Mods, meaning every new version, were posted.
This alone should be enough for most judges to rule in your favour.
But as I said taking them to court means you need to pay first and when a judge rules in your favour you can get your money back. I believe this is the case in most western countries but I do not know how the legal system works in Russia.
This is something Igiss needs to look up or ask a solicitor for advise on this.
