And do you think that it will prevent the stolen source from being distributed ?
What is done IS done. As ugly as it is, we cannot do anything to prevent people downloading it... And there's no point in trying to make a poster guilty because he downloaded the sources. It surely is tactless to post it on a VALVe-owned list, but even if we fight against sources downloaders on this list, it will have no impact, since only a few persons read posts there... (in comparison to the total number of people interested by HL2). What would a judgement bring to you ? Some people WILL have the sources on their computers... This *is* inevitable. I really find this idea silly, but it must be the bad habitude of making lawsuits for nothing... <=- Michaël "Cortex" Monerau -=> Stan Bubrouski wrote: > Bulk wrote: > >> Gee I sure hope you didn't just post illegal HL2 source code a >> public list run by valve.. >> >> Regards, >> >> -- Bulk >> Site Manager >> http://www.thewavelength.net >> > > Well in your reply you did too.
