In article <cYLscby00WB64AAJAO@andrew.cmu.edu> al1f+@andrew.cmu.edu (Andy A. Le> You have just brought yourself a lawsuit with your "Meobius patch
>(deprotection) and warning" message. How? First, publically you admitted
>that you 'alternated' the Moebius source code without written permission of
>the author. Such alternation is in DIRECT violation of the copyright law.
Please don't waste bandwidth unless you have at least *some* idea of
what you're talking about. According to the above, I can't even make
notes in a book I have bought. This is just plain silly.
>Second, it would be extremely easy for any lawyer to prove that your message
>causes Moebius's author to loose sale on the software.
How? by producing witness who swear that this message caused them to
steal the software?
> It is perfectly legal to express your experiences with Moebius (and its
>author company), but to post deprotection procedures is down right ILLEGAL,
>irresponsible, and stupid. Think twice next time you decide to boast...
Um, er, wasn't there some law or another about "freedom of speech"?
No? Oh--sorry.
