The ReadMe's of the original files could NOT be missunderstood: "It's not allowed to use this as source [modifyed or not] in your own work without the explicite permission ! [This includes the use of this file in any carset without permission.]".
Normally we would think, that this page should be obsolete, but the last year have shown that from time to time some people show up in the f1sim/mod community without any respect to the property of others. Then they will be listed here in the "Hall of Shame".

09 Oct 05 | • | I ask myself: "should I be surprised ?" - well actually not - for sure Mr. Pollini have announced at m4driving that www.f1FullSim.com Crew have released the first beta of '2004RH Imola' (a convertion from F1C99-02 to rFactor)... Well the announcement is even worse:
EDIT: In the meantime I had the chance to speak with a www.f1FullSim.com member - It was very interessting: He ensured me, that there was NO PLAN to release this files to the public - Mr. Pollini (for what reason ever) decided to relase it instantly. Right now the FullSim Crew is trying everything to get the files beeing removed from the server [and I have no resason NOT to belive them - so thanks for that!] EDIT [2005.10.10]:

12 Apr 05 | • | Well EACH YEAR the same things happens again and again and again... In the past we hade ferraifan01, then we had Molodjo - and so in 2005 there are other "new" respectless guys who have just releases a RIP OFF the RH Season 2004... Well it is no real surpise, that's again www.m4driving.it who is standing in the first row to offer these DAMM LEECHERS a well visited place to offer their STOLEN stuff... It's freaking disapointing! AlanF1 and Vivis (Vitvese a Alana) offered on a own WEBSITE a 2005 package called even 'BETA_RH2005_(V+A)_1.0' what a shame is that! So do no be a fool! There will be never any public BETA releases of RH. |

17 Oct 04 | • | Selling multiple race game add-ons (Season 2004, ETCC Mod etc.) via EBAY - even if it's said more then once, that these add-ons are FREE and it's not allowed to sell them on any kind of media. It have been observed for quite a while now - and Tomy have been asked more then ONCE to stop with it - but he simply ignored our Requests. So it might be time, that somebody else will tell him to STOP with it. Since for me it's not acceptable that somebody who is not involved creating any kind of updates is MAKING MONEY with that. And if you get a reply like this:

24 Jun 04 | • | I really did not expect that "this" would be required anymore. But what I noticed few days ago was simply to much. You all know, that CTDP and RH are working hard on their Season 2004 updates... And the one or the other might be aware that a "guy" called MoLODoJ is offering 10 Season 2004 cars that could be DL in single files and placed on top of RH - almost "everybody" could see, that the textures and shapes look extremely similar to 2003RH... Yesterday I was made aware of a post MoLODoJ (or at least somebody who is working with him) did in a forum which makes pretty clear, that MoLODoJ is stealing RH03 work.
It's not allowed to use this as source [modified or not] in your own work without the explicit permission ! [This includes the use of this file in any season package without permission.]
When I saw this post I was extremely PISSED - since these guys shows an attitude: When 'RH' can't make it in time (and we say what 'in time' means) then everything is allowed (including leeching our textures and rip off our shapes) and CLAIM it as OUR OWN WORK. Really guys YOU SUCK! When you want to read a bit more about "using RH stuff without asking for permission we had the "same" discussion last year - when StevieP19 was doing more or less the same as now MoLODoJ does... You can read about it @ the HG forum in the following Threads: 1, 2, 3, 4 [it is very sad, that is every year again another idiot that think, he can do what every he likes to do with stuff that is downloadable somewhere...] |
DONE | MoLODoJ | ||||||
07 Mar 03 | • | For almost 3 month StevieP19 is offering via various web sites "his" Season 2003 Presentation, Test and since today "Australian GP" cars. NONE of the cars he is offering are HIS own work - he slightly modify RH's Season 2002 cars and put them online. We have asked him several times to stop with that. But as it turns out without ANY success. Yesterday the "previous" site hoster m4driving was so kind to remove his site - but that was still not the end of the sad story - instantly a new page was opened @ www.watkinsons.tele2.co.uk... Poll: Other Threads around StevieP19 and this Topic: So after all that, he made it here in... I hope you all will help bring this sad story to a final end. |

08 Apr 02 | • | Luca have asked Ralph Hummerich, if he gave him the permission to use the Season 2002 preview Cars for GP3 Season 2000 in a Season 2002 update. Ralph explaind him, that these are JUST preview cars and that he does NOT gave anybody the permission to include these cars in any Season 2002 update. [QUOTE from Ralph's eMail] "For your question about the five prerelease-cars: I am sorry, but these cars are only preview versions and are not intended to be part of any carset. Please understand, that I want to release my set first, before I see my work as part of sets from other people." But if you go to http://digilander.iol.it/lcsimgame/Carset2002.htm you will realize, that Luca does pay any attation on that. |

ALL without any Authorization or any mention of the original Designer - totally ignoring the readme's: "It's not allowed to use this as source [modified or not] in your own work without the explicit permission ! [This includes the use of this file in any carset without permission.] We do not understand the webmasters who are going to publish these files - it's more then obvious, that these are not original works of Ralph Hummerich - and it's obvious, that the "creators" does not show any RESPECT to the work & properties of others. [Please webmasters show more responsibility!] It's even worse - Denis Coutu have used the bmp from Federico Baron ore vice versa... it's really silly! |

28 Oct 01 | • | Again there is somebody who thinks, that he providing valuable stuff for the GP3 community by coping several work of others together and publish them under his own name... Of course non of the original designers are mentioned in the readme. Andrea have copied EMAC's MenuArts and have added some old driver pic's (Marques, Frenzen and Alesi) All this IS already available at EMAC's website. so this file is 100% obsolte. WE have NO idea, why Anread have just copied our work... and ouf course he does not have any permission. |

14 Oct 01 | • | Just again another STUPID guy have used Jouko's great Season 2001 MenuArts modified them a little bit (replaced few of the rotating disks with the once of Perran) and "added" TCam's on the cars - that's ALL he DID! Oh of course he haven't asked Jouko or Perran for permission or have included any information, that his 2hour work is based on others... This DAMM LEECHER even have NOT included HIS email in the README -> so PLEASE if you see the File somewhere ONLINE please inform the Webmaster, that HE should remove this FILE... |

Volker Roth is publishing via several Websites MenuArts for "GP3 Season 2000" - unfortunatly he is using SOURCES of other well known Designers like Jouko or Perran WITHOUT any permission of them.
WEBMASTERS PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT SUCH LEECHERS by putting those Files in your Filebase... Thank you! We have to wait till his next "publications" if he give credits to the original designers of the Parts which he has used from others...

05 Aug 01 | • | It's again CenterMinD who have caught our LEECHER attention - He has just "published" a new Version of "his" 2001 GP3 Extras. This Updated contains UNAUTHORIZED material [Benetton / BAR / Sauber and Minardi] from Ralph Hummerich [even the credits are missing!!!]. In the included ReadMe it was said, that all cars have ben taken [with permission] from the carset from WhiteRacing - but a) Carset from WhiteRacing does not include cars from R. Hummerich and b) James (from WhiteRacing) said missunderstandable, that he has not agreed that CenterMinD is allowed to use WR-Cars in his carset. |

07. May 01 | • | Again EMAC have discovered a group of people who does not show ANY respect to the work of others... This group called them self "calchigp3" - and they have already their own web side [www.calchigp3.racesim.net] - they offer an "SuperPatch" which includes Cars & MenuArts and some more Stuff - these Cars are Ralph Hummerich Cars - and the MenuArts are the ones of EMAC. We have never been asked for permission - and even worst when we contact them they where extremely impolite and refused any kind of cooperation. This is just not acceptable. | Have STOPPED no further action required Thanks to you all |
