Geoschmo,
No, I don't think you are an old fuddy-duddy. I think you are a decent and honorable man who is righteously outraged by the dishonesty of others.
But, with all due courtesy, I also think you are barking up the wrong tree in this particular instance.
I stated unequivocally that Ubik really should not have asked for or been sent the EXE. Ubik admitted, at least by implication, that this was so.
But one of the main issues in any piracy case is "intent to defraud", and since Ubik is a licensee of SE4, there was clearly no such intent.
Geo, Ubik has posted here repeatedly, and admitted in print what he did. Every time he Posts here, his IP address is recorded permanently. He lives in europe, where the software piracy enforcement agency is far more fierce than its American counterpart, with even more sweeping powers of search, arrest, and seizure. If he was a pirate, all Shrapnel would have to do is drop a line to the euro piracy agency, with his IP address or addresses, and his goose would be severely cooked.
Now, whatever you may suspect about Ubik's morals, the man is obviously not stupid. If he was a pirate, there is no way he would expose and incriminate himself like that.
Please, Geo, take another look at the title of this thread, and who started it
NOBODY here is condoning software piracy, in any way, shape, or form!
