Originally posted by ShadowSonic While that may be true, it's still only half the story -- it's only your perspective. Try as you might, you can't tell us about Veeborg's situation and how he perceived this situation. Which is my point. Nobody should have voted on this poll yet, and everyone that did is talking out of their ass. Nobody here knows the whole story.
Maybe 'sympathy' is too big a word. How about 'support'? You were definatly looking for some kind of group affirmation in your first post: "and I hope you think what he did was wrong." -- Hardly the picture of impartiality -- your story is invariably going to be spun to make you look like the 'good guy'.
You completely missed the point of that analogy. You state that posting a hacked ROM on Nintendo's boards is obviously a dumb thing to do -- yet you turn around and post a hacked program on that author's boards and wonder why he got pissed. It's the exact same thing.
They might have gotten the message from Veeborg and said "that guy is stealing programs? We should close his site". I mean it's a free server -- they're not going to be worried about losing business, they're more worried about legal trouble. If you're doing something that even smells illegal, they'll close you down without thinking twice. I mean why should they risk it? Why suffer the headache? So it was probably Tripod's idea to close your site. If Veeborg did anything, he probably only alerted them that he didn't want his program distributed there. And he might not even have done that -- maybe someone else on the forums did or something. Who knows? We sure don't.
Freeware authors don't usually respond well to people messing with their stuff. I know if someone was messing with my programs in a way I didn't want them to, I wouldn't be so quick to be their buddy either. I doubt you two will ever make up or get along =P. Thems the breaks -- can't be friends with everyone.
Why would he bother? I doubt he cares. From where he stands, his problem is solved. |

| Ok yeah, this is pretty much one sided without Veeb0rgs story. Anyway if a mod reads this, close this topic or something. Unless there's a way to close it myself? | |||
