UT has had a censorship policy for over a decade. Back when I ran Codebook support, I tried to set up an area on UT for that, but was told I couldn't because a "competitor" (Oak Leaf) already had a paid section, and I couldn't "compete" by offering support on a free forum. However, if I were to upgrade to a higher paid level and could bring in more subscriber money than Oak Leaf, he would reverse the policy. Also, if you remember, UT claims full copyright to anything posted there, and can use it for profit without compensating you for it. That's the reason why when you view ProFox messages on the web, there is a clear copyright attribution to the author of the post, not me. I have a theory that people are so used to getting shafted by Microsoft that UT's behavior doesn't seem all that bad. I know that no one who is used to the free, open and honest exchange of ideas would tolerate a site like that. Knowledge isn't a zero-sum game. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/8612a3c5-dee0-4728-9378-06d7afdf3...@leafe.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
