[SCS Workshop UP 1.0.51] Unable to read root directory [NOT A BUG]

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.
Posting in the Mods forum (ATS and ETS2) is restricted to sharing free-to-the-public mods and providing support for mods. For more details, please check the Forum Rules.

You do realise the people who steal em all know how to fix them right? It doesn't protect your work in any way and hasn't for years. As a Workshop Moderator I have seen the content of "protected mods" stolen and reuploaded on Workshop. Damaging the file is nothing more than a placebo for the mod author and nothing more.

Ironically the workshop not allowing damaged files has significantly slowed the pace of uploads of stolen content as they used to do the same thing in the hopes it would stop them being banned. :lol:

It has been fun to watch. Almost need a lawn chair and a cooler of cold ones. Ultimately one must decide if their work being taken by others is a deal breaker or not. If not, just press on. If so, the only viable solution is to quit. Sad, but that's where a lot of mod makers have gone. Oh, and disinterest lol.
