Why Leaking Paid Mods Is Idiotic.

It's the Signia. The nimble little Japanese car. Ibishu Signia.

 

Idk he was looking for what seemed to be a boaty sedan by Ibishu but maybe the Signia

 

Idk either all I know is that screenshot I included is the one I was talking about. There are a few other mods that look like the Claria I think it's called and the config pack for the Ibishu Myanmar/Miramar I believe it's called.

 

one question i have to those that sell mods
do you have to pay tax on what ya earn from the mods or?

 

Depends on the tax rules in their countries. In the UK, its basically no, until you get above a certain amount. But the reality is most won't get that amount.

Wouldn't you be selling software?

 

I don't know to be honest. It's likely under digital sales or services. I've not done it. As a general rule, you can make a little money on the side and it's within the law in the UK, but anything above you're taxable income threshold is a different story. That's how I see it. I'm probably wrong, but I'm sure people selling a few cars on beamng aren't going to attract much attention from inland revenue.

I think it's £1k tax free additional income allowance.

 

In the USA, once the mod you're selling brings in over $600 in a single year it's considered income, and the government asks for a percentage of that money. It's not like a real job so I don't think anyone's going to beg for a chunk of that $600 but who knows. I just know that once you get over $600 in income in a single year you technically need to pay the government a little bit of that money.

 

say one has made over 5k euros in sales what then?
and has a sales policy and calls it a product
again im just wondering how it all works

 

I guess it all depends on what the person does for living and where they live. Most EU countries have tax-free income, so technically you don't have to pay anything up to a certain amount (iirc it's somewhere around €9,000 for Germany), though this includes your regular job, so you'd have to pay at least some taxes anyway.

Alternatively, you can go ninja mode and skip that 5k euros in your tax papers – and again, your mileage may vary depending on what you do and where you live.

 

yall remember when people made gta:sa mods that was entire stories and basically brand new games for completely free? now we are paying money for vehicle mods.

 

If those mods you speak of were locked behind a price tag, would you download a leak? probably.

 

My opinion: As long as the mod's worth the price, it's ok. And for leaking, N O

 

Completely agree unless
1 - It's that $25 transformer trailer
2 - It's a real car without permission from the company (illegal
The forums paid mods like the Scout, Mondello, etc. are perfectly fine, it's the Modland mods that aren't.

 

Wait, transformer trailer? Never heard of that. Anyways, completely agree with you

 

Yup, some dude tried to sell this big, unfinished, no texture electrical transformer (not robot transformer) trailer for $25 on the forums. Can't make that crap up.

 

That is the most over-priced paid mod I have ever seen

 

It´s the same with movies,games etc you get the point. There will always be someone who leaks someones paid work you just have to deal with it.

 

What about the $0.40 coffin with stolen assets from a Unity asset dev

 

Haha, forgot about that one. That one too.
