Are you for fucking real???
This whole thread started because I was promised a feature before I purchased a service, which I later discovered would not be provided as promised. I was given an ORAL CONTRACT - they offered, and I accepted. Then they reneged. I now have to PAY SOMEONE ELSE to provide that which I expected from the original business transaction. They broke the contract, which now I am fighting them over by refusing to pay termination fees as stated within the contract. Hey, they broke it first; therefore, I'm not bound by it anymore.
Why are you so fucking hung up on violation of copyright? I, like hundreds of others in this community, have written 1000s of software programs, whose copyright belongs to the employer at time of creation. I, like these other hundreds, have written apps later in time minorly or significantly based upon previous works; in fact, dozens if not hundreds are perfect duplicates of earlier works. They, according to your viewpoint, are violations of copyright. Are all of us going to be thrown into the slammer just to satisfy your holier-than-thou attitude?
I don't intend to violate copyright; however, if I do, I don't fucking care. And before you keep being so childishly anal about it, go jump down the throats of the thousands of people who POST these files since they are violating copyright FIRST.
