<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">German Fyyar Skin Removed
06/25/02
The Jedi Outcast skin German Fyyar has been removed because it contained stolen textures from the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Please people, don't borrow/steal/lift work from other games or other addons without the permission of the author(s). I don't know how many times we've had to say this, but I'm saying it again: If you didn't make it, don't use it!</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Super Saiyan Mod Removed
02/09/02
I've removed the JK Super Saiyan mod posted here back in November for using several items from Gohan_JSE's Roshi Mod without asking or even letting the guy know. I'm only sorry it took us this long to find out.
Folks, if you download something from us and find lifted material — skins, textures, sound files, etc. — please write to us and let us know about it so we can take it down. Massassi deals with dozens of submissions a week, and while some plagiarized work (otherwise known as "rips") gets stopped at the door, things inevitably slip through the cracks. Thanks.
As for you authors out there thinking about using other people's material, check out the readme file first. Sometimes authors don't care one way or the other, but sometimes they truly do, and are rightfully protective of their original creations. If they're not willing to let you use their stuff, you must accept that and create your own material.</font>

06/13/01
The 'The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker TC Beta 1.0' SP mod has been removed from this site. Please do not waste our time with levels/mods that contain illegal material. In this case, the author took components from MotS and put them into a mod for JK, which is against the license agreement. Thanks to all who notified me.</font>
