Think about that.

Maps shouldn't be made just to entertain people either. Realize this.… We humans do things that make us feel better. Generous people give because that makes them feel good. We eat because it makes us feel good. It all goes along a parallel path.

We make maps because 1. we enjoy making them and 2. we want to see if other people like them. If those are your motives, all the more power to you. If you do it because you want to gloat, you won't make it anywhere.

So if you don't enjoy making maps, just stop now. If you do, it doesn't matter who gets credit for it. You enjoyed making it.

Don't take me wrong. I do understand that getting credit makes us feel better as well, but if that is your sole motive … I just cannot respect that.
Sry for double posting, I had 2 much on my last post.
Anyway, I really want to focus on this quote:

You might be right, but theres one difference. They stole the maps to get credit for them. They did not work, or slave over it for days. All they did was in like 3 minutes, replace their name into it. Therefore, the creator is better than them morally. In moral, stealing is usually regarded as lower.
