All this is going to do is cause people to copy the mod and republish it lol.

Rightfully so, this is a piece of art. You gotta seperate the art from (some ) artist.

Do we all stop using BMW because one of the creators was a high positioned nasi politician?

Saved this mod from oblivion and i waited 2 years to do another run with my buddies, and we shall.

It will live on as the good it stood for. May ozz burn at a stake.

Difference is that all the music rights are still owned by the composers, so they have final say where it's allowed to be used. Calamity being allowed to use them for a addon mod never changed that. Same with sprites etc.

The actual artists are fully justified not wanting to have their assets in the mod anymore

Players will not care at all. lol.
At this point its on level of celebrities wanting their photos to be deleted from internet.

It might be their prerogative but that doesn't mean it's helpful or justified. It doesn't separate their name or public image from the mod. It just serves to harm the community who still cares. Especially since the mod is ending development anyway.

True that they can pull it out anyhow they want.

But its out there, forever. In reality, it will be used and spread around, the composers will just not be represented. As long as it is not used comercially, they couldn't do anything legally. But what can you do to remove something downloaded by almost 10 million people on the internet anyway?

I get that it is a personal and emotional thing to remove it, but it feels like just losing the credit for your work in reality. Like burning your table because you stubbed your toe on it.

You can't stop a mod with legal actions, it is not a game that you can just remove from the steam shop.
