Again, I am not defending or supporting StefyZZ's actions but am just trying to tease the legal aspects of this one out a bit. A licence has another aspect to it; it is also a contractual-type agreement between parties. In such circumstances a court might consider alias's to be a breech of contract and licence, or to nullify a contract. (In most jurisdictions contact law has specific definitions and requirements about the legal identity of contracting parties) Internet-type software licencisng is a very grey area as it is all so new and, to the best of my knowledge, has not been tested in any significant way in the courts in any country. LadySilverMage if, for instance, you were to sell your business to another company and included in the sale would be all your software, that company would be (as far as I understand and interpret it) legally obliged to undertake a licence transfer of the software to its' own name if it wanted to use the software. Most software companies facilitate this. Considering the above context, a court might deem it a software vendor's right to be informed of all aliases involved in any software licence in order to protect and enforce the vendor's rights. It would almost certainly view the licencing system itself as a valid legal instrument to protect and enforce software vendor's rights. By contrast if a court were to deny the software vendor the right to know all the aliases it could lay itself open to being accused of facilitating and encouraging software piracy. In addition the courts would also have to weigh up consumer rights and privacy rights against all of this. I don't have the answers and I am just looking at the thing with a view to seeing what might be involved. I think the door is wide open on this issue and it is something that concerns vendors, purchasers and the hosting site, Renderosity, which has a financial and legal stake in this. Regards STORM
