I'm really pissed off today. i really pissed off from what manip said: "But from a development point of view I really hope the HLDS source has been leaked, it will give us the opportunity to develop the type of server we have always wanted but never had. It will allow us to link into something better than Vac and to improve the half-life experience. " Manip from a development point of view its your best interest to respect these rights. if you do not respect them then why should other people respect the rights of things you created? I really hate even developers, programmers in specific, when they violate IP rights, from using warezs to using stolen code. the second thing manip said that made my blood boiled was his cockyness and the fact that he thinks he can make HLDS much better. this really annoys me because he, i think, believes that violating the these to make something better justifies his cause of violating the rights. also, he believes he can do a better job then the programmers at valve. i, like someone else on this list, i think, feels that this is an insult to valve. tei, you i believe are worse then manip, you suggested things to valve about security after the fact that this events occured, this like a psychic telling you the future from three days ago. honestly, how useful is that? if you suggested these things a few months ago then it might be useful but now your just stating the could ofs and should ofs... tei, i would also like to say that YOU fill my inbox with useless crap and this crap provide nothing as in meaningful content, good questions or awnsers, to the list. anyways, to sum up my rant, i really dont see why people submit criticism that isn't constructive, that also includes should of and could of type statements, and provide suggestions that are down right stupid. yeah, i know, this is a pretty stupid post, not really by providing meaningfull content, and i know i just shot my own foot by sending this in. oh well, just my opinion.

No it won't. That source is stolen property of Valve Software L.L.C. and if you distribute it or modify and distribute it you are contributing to the downfall of Valve and of HL2. And more than likely you will face civil and legal charges. To clarify it is not ok to have the HL2 source at all, and frankly posting about having it is a bad idea.
