If you use a real-world car model pulled from another game without permission, that could result in claims against your server by both the car company (brand, logo, car design) or the game developer (3D model). Real-world brands, unique vehicle designs, and 3D software models are generally protectable under trademark or copyright.
“We cannot allow custom assets or mods that infringe third-party intellectual property (IP).
“You must fully remove all real-world vehicles from your server,” Cfx.re declared. Indeed, these freeroam servers are among the most popular available, and some even charge for access. Some FiveM servers let players drive around in cars based on real-world models.
The warning begins with a focus on in-game cars. The warning comes just two months after GTA owner Rockstar acquired Cfx.re, the team behind the biggest Rockstar game roleplay and creator communities FiveM and RedM.
