I always liked original things, like the old C&c, oreos, and games like counterstrike.
I've play cs2d for some time now and noticed many great maps get completely edited and or stolen. People takeing credit for some 1 else's hard work angers me even if it has nothing to do with me. "How would you feel if you drew some wonderful masterpeice, and some 1 edits it and claims they have made it and or doesn't even credit you, when all they did was add a couple of things.
I'll give some examples: StarsMaxprison, Happytown, and Zm_Blackmesa each have been edited/stolen (credited to some 1 whos not the author) more then 5 times.
So I asked myself can I copyright my map? I look into my countries copyright laws but I'm not a 100% sure if I could. So then I asked myself are their ways to "prevent/stop" any 1 from being able to editted my maps? I've also made some maps specificly made for my clan's and my server only. Now I am here asking you are there? ways to ensure my credit, and protect my maps?
