Re: new SEIV milestone reached
Gandalf, I didn't really think you were suggesting pirating, I just thought the way you worte your post was not as clear as it could be.
The Updated Mod compilation is a good idea, if Geo is lurking maybe he would be interested in doing something with your suggestion.
Cheers!  |

Re: new SEIV milestone reached

Re: new SEIV milestone reached
Did this die? I would think that this community of any would be able to collaborate on a CD. Would anyone be willing to see their stuff put on a CD?

Re: new SEIV milestone reached
I would not be in favor of this as a method of raising funds for PBW.
First of all PBW does well enough on straight donations to meets it's expenses at this point, and that's all we've ever tried to do. When we've ever had a cash shortfall, a couple of posts asking for more donations, or a fundraiser like the stuff Shrapnel gave a way a couple years ago or Tesco's race to SEV tourney have been more than sufficent.
My real concern is putting PBW on the hook in case someone feels like their intellectual property got put on the CD without their permission. I really don't need to have Paramount Pictures, Lucasfilm, or even Hadrian  sicking the lawyers on us for what they feel is improper use of their copyrighted material. As long as that stuff is being freely distributed for download the worst you get is a "cease and desist" order. You start offering a physical CD and asking for a fixed price in return and they want to come take away your house.
Whether or not any such hypothetical suits would have merit is totally irrelevant. It's a fight I don't need to deal with so I'd just as soon stay as far away from the idea as possible.

Re: new SEIV milestone reached
Actually the things which they would most be bothered by wouldnt disturb me all that much if they were left out.
And if PBW doesnt want attached to it, thats not a big deal. It can always be priced at cost ($4.99 I think) just to make it available
