Yes, I saw some of it.

It seems many posts nowadays are turning into rows over legal responsibilities, and it needs to stop.

These forums are no place for trigger happy 'copyright' holders. Sure free publicity for their product is one thing, but all some seem to do is lurk around until somebody mentions the genre of their product (ie. plans) and then threaten that person with endless legal barrages. It completely destroys the dicussion and scares people away. It's also especially discouraging when it has absolutely nothing to do with them!


Some would call it harassment.

FWIW, I think the issue was with atomaka's (or whatever his handle is) comments and not with your video (at least I hope so, cause your video was very cool and seemed like a great contribution to the cainet building scene.

*shrug*  You'll have to ask someone who can read post hell (or put it there (i.e. saint/pj/sirp/etc) to find out specifically why it was rm -f'ed

PJ brought the thread back, at least the parts that can be brought back.  I'm locking this thread.  Just want people to know we can filter out bad sections of threads now, not just the whole thing.

Oscar removed the post and with good reason. I used my super powers to carve out the "cancer" (as one person put it) at brought it back to life.  ;D

You can expect more crap replies to be removed from valid posts in the future, leaving the good (even valuable) posts in tact.
