Well, talk of lawsuits and courts, laws and rulings, theft and fair use... would seem to indicate this thread has outlived its typical life cycle.
Before this topic becomes much more heated I'd like to quote to all of you from our Mailing List FAQ: "Q: What is considered on-topic and off-topic? A: This is the premier mailing list that covers the use of Dale Larson's excellent CyberBoard play-by-eMail (PBEM) gamers' assist software ( http://cyberboard.brainiac.com/index.html). Discussion covers the use of the software program, tips on creating gamebox and scenario files, and general playing tips. Any other subject matter should be directed to the appropriate forum, including specific game in progress status reports. You might find other CyberBoard-related Yahoo Groups by searching at http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=cyberboard&submit=Search."; Although it can be argued that "use of the software program" would allow these recurring copyright "discussions." we typically don't allow them ... because we end up exactly where you guys are heading with this and it's not any place worth visiting. Can we call this one thread dead, please? I'm asking nicely once. If you care to continue, CSW has a dedicated topic for copyright discussions: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?13@@.1dd1a087/254 Thank you, Eric Miller List Mod [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
