Thanks cooler, I was just going to post that same response... And Chad, if you read the readme files that are included in the freestuff, you will see that in fact there are restrictions to it's use. One of them is redistribution without express permission. I have only seen maybe one or two freestuff items that state expressely that it can be considered public domain...but permission does have to be given by the creator of the work. If that person had come to some of these people and said "hey can I host your freestuff on my site, using my bandwidth and servers" then I'm sure some would have said okay, no problem. But he has not done that. What he did was not only supply links to the site, but direct linking to the product, bypassing his server and using someone else's bandwidth. And that is wrong, wrong, wrong. Why is that so hard for you to see, because possibly it's not your money or your bandwidth? Pendy
