How on Earth is this topical on perl-qa? I’m replying to perl-qa despite Michael’s request because that’s where the thread now is, but sensible this ain’t. > The author of this module has received a cease-and-desist > letter from the owner of the web site, since the module is in > violation of the Terms of Use. Does the module violate their ToS or its use? In all possible case? > All publicly accessible BackPAN mirrors must pull this > distribution manually, given that rsync-without-delete > won't do it for you. Why? Assuming the answer to first question is that the module itself violates the ToS, do all publicly accessible BackPAN mirrors reside on jurisdictions where the ToS is valid and the legal repercussions of its violation applicable? > I don't know of any better way of reaching potential backpan > admins, if anyone has a good suggestion I'm all ears. Maybe you should have done that *before* spamming unrelated lists? The sky is not falling. Slow down and gather your wits. If the site owners’ demand is in fact legitimate, this should be handled through applicable venues and procedures. Breathless panic and suspension of due diligence is inappropriate. * Dominique Quatravaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2007-11-27 18:00]: > http://kilimandjaro.dyndns.org/~dom/FuturesQuote-0.01.pm > > Come on now.
