Re: On Hold
 

What I don't understand is why Zen deleted all his Posts in this thread...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Neither did I. I'd really want to know Zen's opinion about this, as I find stupid that map isn't hosted.
I have the map, I can host it, and as I don't even know Zen's real name he has nothing to fear, I won't betray him to the e-KGB http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif !

I just make passive resistance to US trends, ya know, I'm French http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Copyright isn't a particularly US trend. In fact, the USA was one of the slouches of the Western world when it cames to copyright laws and joining the international agreements.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">And then along comes the fascist, Orwellian, DMCA and the US once again leads the world. I think it was better when we were behind ...

Re: On Hold
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Perhaps so, but then that really doesn't enter into this situation.

Re: On Hold
 

The DMCA is precisely why Zen pulled the plug, so it does bear.

Re: On Hold
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Again, INAL, but I don't see how the DMCA enters into this situation. I doubt that extracting an image-file from a game can be considered to be circumventing anti-piracy protections.

Re: On Hold
 

The DMCA isn't just about anti-piracy protections. I suggest you do a Google search on the subject and study it for yourself if you are interested. However, I'm not interested in debating at the moment what it does or does not cover. Especially not in this forum.
