It is with deep regret that we at the Reallusion team must announce the closure of Clones2Go, one of our most prolific and productive content providers.
As you may know, one of the developers who provided content for this store was recently accused of plagiarism in our forum. After being notified of this, the Reallusion team performed a detailed investigation, and after close deliberation among our team and other parties involved, confirmed that intentional plagiarism had taken place.
Due to these circumstances, Reallusion has created an addendum to our original CCD agreement in order to deal with cases such as this where a developer is taking credit for the work of others. This sort of activity in our developer community is not acceptable, and the new measures have been put in place to ensure that developers who take part in this sort of activity are held accountable and do not have the opportunity to profit from the work of others.
The protection of the content that our developers spend their valuable time and money to create is of the utmost importance to the Reallusion team. We want to ensure that you as content developers get credit for the valuable work that you do. We also want to ensure that animators can buy and use royalty-free content in their professional and personal productions without the need to worry about using content that comes from a copyrighted source. The individual developer responsible for this offence has had his content removed from the Reallusion Content Store, and has been banned from selling content until further notice.
We want to stress that this was the actions of one individual contributor to the Clones2Go store. It is regretful that the actions of one can affect an entire store, therefore Reallusion wishes to reinforce the importance of honesty and integrity when producing work for sale on any Reallusion marketplace. We appreciate the continued hard work and dedication of all our upstanding developers, and anticipate more great things from you all in the future! If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please contact us at developer@reallusion.com or refer to our Certified Content Developer Agreement.
Regards,
The Reallusion Team
