> You made a map, then someone used the map. Isn't that nice?

Yeah, if that map was free to use, then sure. But that's not the case.

It's become all too common I see this type of argument used in cases where big name studios rip work of others without attribution. This is an extremely weak (not to mention somewhat offensive) argument which is analogous to telling a rape victim "you should be happy the rapist found you attractive."
