Stop Mod Reposts
- Live on Store
Detects and warns against sites known to illegally repost mods.
Copyright infringement is an everyday situation for modders. Most of the somewhat popular mods today have at some point been illegally copied and redistributed onto a third party site, without any acknowledgement or permission of their developers. Many of these websites are hosted in Vietnam or Russia, and are hard to take down due to different copyright legislation. Many of these sites illegally monetize their download links to earn money off of the modders' hard work, and several even go as far as to claim ownership of the illegal content. Some of them are known to host malware and viruses and claim that these are real, harmless mods. This has to stop.
When DMCAs and take-down notices fail, we have to rely on the community to stop people from downloading mods from these sources. However, many of the websites engaging in the type of activity outlined above look very well designed and official, confusing many players and making them believe that these sites are actually the real ones. As a result, many machines are infected with viruses and malware, modders lose revenue and reputation and are spammed with reports about bugs which have already been fixed in newer versions of their mods, since only the old versions are hosted on the illegal sites. Stop Mod Reposts is designed to stop this. Here's how we plan to do it:
- Letting people know that the sites are illegal. There is no way we can stop people from using these sites when they're unaware that the actions of the host is against the law and that the host is ignorant of the modders' rights. Therefore, this extension will display an overlay when browsing a site like this.
- Letting people know that visiting these sites puts their computers at risk. No one wants to be infected with malware, so we'll warn them that the sites potentially can harm their machines.
The sites this extension warns about are the same sites as are listed on https://github.com/StopModReposts/Illegal-Mod-Sites and is updated every few days or hours with new hosts.

Love to see the community doing something about this, I can't count the amount of times I've seen friends download from these sites and their machines are infected and then they never try modded again (and a younger more naïve version of me may have done the same in the past). Great extension to just let run and then forget about.

絶対おすすめなのです 二次配布サイトをブロックするらしいので入れました！ ブラックリストになっているので安心です
I really hate those low quality sites that always post Minecraft mods within random, poorly-written articles. Thanks to this extension I can finally be assured that I'm getting my mods and shaders with no saftey issues.

Oh my goodness! At first, I had tons of doubt in this simple extension. I downloaded it, and it's amazing! One suggestion: Please add modsgaming.us and modsgaming.ru to the blacklist. I fully support this.

MODの無断転載サイトからDLするのを防止できます。MOD作者への貢献の一環としてこの拡張機能をインストールしておくといいと思います。
Amazing, helped me find mods that weren't virus'! This can not only be used for mod reposts, but it can also be used to avoid downloading other apps/games that can be potential malware/virus'.

A lot of these sites I didn't even know were stealing mods until someone on the Forge forums directed me to this. Thank you so much for making this!

すごい！二次配布サイト消えろ！！！

A useful feature, I dunno how easy it'd be to implement, but when you go to a certain repost site, there is an option to redirect to the legitimate mod download. I know this'd probably be a pain to implement each individual site though.
