Yes Storm, that's why I said: "Unfortunately, you can't provide free downloads and protect your copyright (beyond that protection established in law)... Your rights are already established in law. You can use a complex download system that encourages people to read the copyright clause if you like, but the protection offered to you by the law remains the same. And so do the limitations of that protection. A scumbag can read your copyright clause and still go ahead and abuse it. Scumbags don't care. Zygote are in the same position with their stuff. As with them, your best protection against abuse of your public access offerings is for as many people to be aware of them as possible. The 'community' is your friend in this respect. Punishing them and coming across as a sulking primadonna doesn't strike me as the best way to nurture a friendship...
