I suppose it's a good thing he's closing up shop then. Because it's been
my observation that a strict policy like that is a sure fire way to
encourage piracy. It does mean that I won't be able to install BSC games
on a new computer if and when I get one. Definitely disappointing. And
given the fact that most of us are on fixed incomes I didn't expect
Justin to bring in many purchases. This could hurt his profits eve more.
But thou must!

Subject: [Audyssey] An Announcement Regarding BSC Games
Hello everyone,
I just finished speaking to Justin, and I thought I owe it to you to
tell you were we stand regarding the BSC games.
First, there is the issue of licensing. I asked him if he would allow
Audyssey.org to purchase the key generator for $75 and issue new keys
to people as needed. Unfortunately, he will not allow us to issue new
keys, and he has said in effect that if people want new keys for
Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, whatever that they should purchase the key
generator he is selling right now for $75. No exceptions are being
made for the licensing of his games.
Second, there is the issue of licensing the sounds and music for the
games. Justin will not sell those to a third-party developer, nor
allow anyone access to the *.bsc pack files containing the sounds. So
recreating the games with the original sounds and music is pretty much
not possible.
Finally, Justin wants to retain his intellectual copyrights for
Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, Deekout, Crazy Darts, etc so redistributing
his games or rewriting them is not legal under copyright law. I just
thought you should know where we all stand in terms of these games.
In summary while I know some of you may feel angry, upset, and perhaps
disappointed at this news do remember we still have many other great
developers like Draconis, GMA, Jim Kitchen, Blind Adrenaline, to name
a few. Hopefully they will continue to write great games, and if we
want more games remember there are a number of tools like the BGT
toolkit and the Dragon Flame Engine out there to help create new and
interesting games. We could even create games as good as if not better
than those we are losing with these tools. So try and be positive
rather than look at this as a negative experience.
Cheers!
