I just don't get it what where you expecting, how silly do you have to be to realize that its going to be leached right after you release it.Quote:
Information deleted. it appears its already been leached from here onto other forums.
Yes. Hopefully he'll re-post it later in the underground section but till then there's lots of nice info located [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] to get you started.Quote:
have i missed a lot?
I don't think that's the issue here, but more because they distributed something that is very valuable without giving a thank or even asking if they're allowed to redistribute it.Quote:
I'm sorry but removing something because it was posted on another forum is stupid.
This is the internet. Land of the everything is free and public once its up.
Don't release something if you don't want it out there in the first place.
The point I was trying to make and what I should of wrote was "on the internet you should expect things to be reshared with 0 credit to your self. That is the way of the internet. It's because most people don't give 2 shits about who owns what. That's why piracy is a big thing.Quote:

People need to stop the "This is the internet, this is free" manners and grow up. There is no difference whether you take something on the internet and share it with others than from real life.
How would you feel if you had designed a unique car and you released the design in a press conference, 2 mins after another car designing corporation mad exactly the same design, because they stole yours? No wait, this is real life everything is free... lolwut.
Where is the logic in this world?
That's Ulti's code. He does own a copyright on it.Quote:
[...]You can't really claim copyright on this code because TQ owns it. Yes you may have wrote it but TQ own that file format and the procedures to read that format. [...]
You can own a format. It's up to you whether you charge for it's use or not.Quote:
This was not just information about it. It was a full implementation.
Also those laws and regulations counts for the internet.
Also TQ doesn't own a shit of it. They only made the file format, they do not own it. It's not like you can own a file format lmfao. You can own the file content, but not the format since a file format is nothing, but a specific structure. If that was the case then the person who invented the mp3 format owns literally 99% of all songs in the world.

Many organizations have claimed ownership of patents related to MP3 decoding or encoding. These claims have led to a number of legal threats and actions from a variety of sources, resulting in uncertainty about which patents must be licensed in order to create MP3 products without committing patent infringement in countries that allow software patents.
