Don't want to put another spin on it, but what do you guys feel about Fileplanet with its "Personal Server". I know that they use the money to support its operations and turn a profit, but if we did not submit files to them, they would not make any money off of their Personal Servers. Are they not abusing their position at the top of the gaming world to make money off of us?

True yes but not true with EBay.  After reading through their policy yesterday I found that they clearly state that it is a against the rules for anyone to sell stuff on a cd-r/cd-rw unless they have the original copyright on the product being distributed.  In the example on their site: Bob can buy a cd-r distributed by company-X that has a demo on it by them.  Bob cannot however then resell the cd-r.

its not illegal to sell stuff on cd such as game demos and patches is it? They are paying for your time to get hold of the demo/patch and then put it on cd, not the actual demo/patch.

Yes, selling* copyrighted material w/o permission is illegal.  Sierra goes through and has ebay remove these items when they find them, but it looks like they missed a few.  Thanks.

 Now is it just me or is selling valve owned programs and update patches not only wrong but illegal? i'd really like to see this dork punished. So feel free to spam him with emails detailing how big a dork he is...... and for doing the biggest injustice of it all trying to extend the already huge cheating problem in online games.
