Man, you cut back on reading the forums so you can work on a new piece and look what slips by. I don't think their actions (while I don't particularly, and quite selfishly, like it) are all that over the top. If I were in their shoes, after giving away all of the free stuff they have over the years, I'd not only be pissed at this moron but that I'd also have to explain and defend my actions to the 'community'. Why get mad at them for reacting to finding out their hours of hard work are lining someone elses pockets? If we are truly 'friends' then do what you'd do for a real friend, you let him/her know what you think but you back them up. You want things back to the way they were, help shut this guy down. 20 guys, even with copyright laws on their side, don't make anywhere near the impact on businesses (like ISP's) as 2000 ticked off individuals. Crank up the e-mail machine and see what happens (I don't mean immature drivel, but serious demands to have this guys site pulled and the reason(s) why). You think the $20-$50 this guy probably forks over each month is worth the hassle for any ISP to read (and possibly respond) to that much e-mail? My 2-cents. -=>Donald
