Panzer_Meyer Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hi, I play DoD a Half life WWII mod. Anyway I vist that forum often too. Well today I cam e across a post where a guy was saying he had a pirated version of CM. I didn't say anything, I contacted the Moderater and he will ask the actual admin what they will do. I was going to report him straight to BTS, but he doesn't have his ICQ# or e-mail listed. That is why I contacted the Moderater about this. So, the thread goes on, another guy says he has it too, and asks the 1st guy to contact him and so on. What I am doing is trying to go through the second guy, to find out the e-mail address of the first guy. (Got that?) That way I can post their e-mial addresses here and their ICQ#s too. And BTS can decide what to do! So all i got so far is the E-mail and ICQ of the second guy here they are ICQ# 82742985 E-mail: krechet23@hotmail.com I will try to get the info on the first guy!

Loki Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 :mad: :eek: :mad: Lets tar and feather them, no thats too polite. How about drawn,hung, and quartered. Nah, not painfully enough. Thats it. My sinister mind has it, unfortunately this forum is PG-13 so I can't say. Damn it was good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Lynching mob are we? Boy you must be missing those instant justice hangings where fun was to be had. Those were the days I tell you... And don't get me wrong, if you should drop an eMail to Madmatt about the matter he will testify I had repeatedly reported 10s of warez sitez and 0 day download FTPz with Warezed CM or what had been worst so far the friggin MANUAL in PDF. I respect BTS work and report those DIRECTLY every time I stumble accross one. I do NOT single out users nor do I open that info up to public knowledge... You should ponder this a little. All in all, I do hope for you that you actually registered all of the softwares you're using personnally. There is nothing like a Robin Hood mentality where protecting BTS is good while ripping Microsoft is only natural. As a side note, some members in here started with a Warezed copy of CM and then bought one. It's a testimony of the respect BTS have from their customers base and of what kind of fidelity and honesty you can trigger when you are doing such a good job while being open to suggestions... I live in France so I don't care much about what you're doing apart from the obvious moral implication, but in the good US of A, bombing someone's eMail box or subscribing him to unwanted mailing lists might get you into trouble of the legal kind. So just so you know. Go get that rope and hang me anyway if it's your kind of entertainment... [ 05-11-2001: Message edited by: PawBroon ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellfish Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 When I was in Kuwait (May-October 2000), a pirated version of CM was available. $10. Fortunately, I didn't buy it (though I was temped) cos the pirated software everyone else bought didn't work back in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Meyer Posted May 11, 2001 Author Share Posted May 11, 2001 Ok, So it's ok than. I'll just send him a copy myself, why should he bother in downloading it and cathing a virus. Poor 'ol boy. I am so ignorant thinking, it's wrong to pirate software. I'll apoligize to him and send him a free copy of CM and CM2 in the future! Sorry!

Fishu Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Rommel, Since you're that much against illegal things, I'd like to remind you that publishing others email/icq etc. addresses is illegal in conjuction like this.. (you're almost literally telling people to spam him, which is illegal) as far as i know of.. (just keep the addresses for BTS, they're the ones that can do something, not the spammers) Just that you might also get in trouble if this guy gets spam and find out that you've been telling stuff like that. What is the reason to publish his email for other than BTS anyway? [ 05-11-2001: Message edited by: Fishu ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawBroon Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Ferdinand & Fishu thanks for taking some time on my post. The reference to Ms is obvious since firstly nobody cares about buying Windows actually and since every one loves to take pot shots at Gates, it was a likely reference. As for what I said to Rommel22, what he did and the would be resulting spams falls on legal action AS WELL. There are laws like the Unsollicited Commercial Mail Act. What you did is not even remotely commercial so you can imagine... You got weird guys on the Net. If you don't mind being nuked, spammed and Trojaned then no probs. I hope you have a good anti viral and firewall system when you start playing the Caped Crusader. As for piracy in general and CM in particular you should REALLY read my post twice. I have been regularly tracing back guys and sites offering ripped CM and Manuals in PDF. I had ALWAYS kept that info STRICTLY between BTS and I. The Net is huge and things have a certain way of backfiring. Next time you should just mail the Bald One and have him bounce in the DoD forum with the Good Book. For all I care I gave that piece of advice for your welfare... Take heed or take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal DI FOLCO Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Rommel22, Surely piracy is illegal, and you feel bad seeing people dealing in it. But what has this to do here ?? Report to the antipiracy league or your local police post instead... And *if* you're bold enough to denonciate the faulty guys yourself, change your logon to Goebbels instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that the "PDF manual" means a format (those Adobe formats, working with adobe reader) PDF format comes handy indeed, I've read few PDF documents (hardware/software specs.. manuals.. etc. stuff... umm like hardware manuals, not CM manuals ) and those are very nice.

If you're gonna report a pirate, do it and shut up. Don't show up here for your gold star. If you're gonna shoplift, do it and shut up. Don't try to justify it.

MrSpkr Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 But my point is, so what if the French use it on the internet to keep their thoughts hidden from non-French speakers? It's not as if their thoughts are really all that important! In all seriousness, however, I find it refreshing that a bulletin board like this contains people from so many countries - I have spoken with people living in Finland, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Italy, South Africa, Canada (the place is crawling with Canucks!), the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, and now France, to name a few. I'm sure there are folks from other countries that I omitted. Ain't it great that BTS could create a game so popular all over the world?
