I'd be upset, and get over it. It is a game, you made the map to play and have different game variants.
Watermark your maps...

Hey if you are a map, please post so that I may . . . 'steal' you? what?

Im very sorry, I'm just angry, and your right.. It is just a game, I meant to say your maps. I contacted steam, I really doubt there going to do anything about it. What ever.

EDIT: What do you mean watermark your maps?

Why did you contact steam? You should have put a picture of yourself in your maps. Like in woohoo_cars.bsp...or I dunno. What map did you make?

I am mad stupid... It's to late now... I don't even have the .map files... and plus, if I use that .bsp - .map file converter, people will be kicked out of my server and they will get an error and say like, you already have the map of this name in your counter-strike folder. Plus, about 8k people downloaded the maps already...

EDIT: I don't want to change my map names, 2 of my clan members are already re-making zm_lila_panic and a map of there own name. (zm_city) I'm afraid to put them into my server. If steam doesn't respond, I'll just forget about it.

EDIT: There are 5 maps in my server and they are using all of it. (Server IP: 84.240.8.253:27015)

zm_army
zm_toronto
zm_megahard
zm_prison
zm_crib

EDIT: Gameservers told me that they shut down ONE server with my maps... that makes me feel much better.

Watermark, meaning somewhere in the map itself, you make a hidden room with like "Created by blah" and everyone will see it and know it's your work.

Also I could've sworn there was a place where you could register it with copyrights or something, and file a claim if someone uses it without authorization. I forget where....

EDIT 10/30/07: Clarification: Contact Valve about licensing

Even if there is... that "claim" isn't gonna get you anywhere.

Yes. Another example would be the monkey in de_airstrip.
