If I hadn't made the remark about the permission slips, you probably never would have even considered a post like this. You must have stayed up really late at night thinking of that one....

 

Um, no.  I don't decide what I say or type based on someone elses ramblings.  Copyright infringment is a serious offence.  I am assuming your servers are based in the United States?  In the most litigious society in the world; aren't you taking a massive risk?  Childish to think that as a joke would cut it as a defense in a court of law.  Sorry your honor, I shot him as a joke.  Sory your honour I embezzled the millions of dollars as a joke.  Sorry your honour I infringed copyright of an 80's popster as a joke.

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

There are exceptions for "fair use" in the copyright laws. I'd read them before calling this issue infringement.
alfiejs is Australian....and the 'fair use' exceptions pertain to US Interpretations of Copyright Law.

However...

What he doesn't realise is that since the US/AUS 'Free Trade' agreement...signed by Bush and Howard.... we [Australia] now have adopted US Copyright Law interpretation/s too. ...

 

So would it be fair use for me to download windowblinds from a torrent site because I did not want to pay for it?

It must have come with a cloaking device 'cause when I hit play the whole thing vanished...POOF!!

Although I have seen it on another computer and those graphics are awesome. Hence the five stars. You guys just keep on rockin'. I love it.

So file a civil suit if you really think it's similar to killing somebody. It's what I would do.

Well, actually I'd likely report it to the police, and let them do the criminal investigation... But in this case, you'll only be the laugh of the day if you try that.

It sounds like Rick Astley actually has a fan.Who knew?

Here is some advice: Climb upstairs out of your parents basement,go to law school and after you graduate,come back and sue Stardock. While you are studying you could make some awesome,non-boring,fabulous,original WindowBlinds.

No, because 'fair use' as described NOW simply allows Australians to LEGALLY make backup copies of their software/games and LEGALLY transpose purchased music, etc to alternate forms.....yep, ever since the dawn of cassette tapes.....it's now legal via 'fair use' to copy that 12" onto your car cassette/radio.

You DO STILL HAVE TO PURCHASE the original, however.

Ergo....the WB via Torrent is NOT covered....

So did wincustomize purchase the rights to the Rick Astley video so they could 'transpose' it to digital format?

A.  Don't live with parents.

B.  Don't use windowblinds, (anymore, evermore).  So why would I want to make one?  It's like not liking cheese sandwiches, but making one for your lunch.

C.  Don't have a basement.

D.  Not a fan of Rick Astley.

That's what 'fair use' means.

Now, go away.

Since it appears you know the alphabet,keep going until you get to "L" in the dictionary Go to the entry for "loser".   Look ...it's your picture!

If you don't like the content of this website then the only reason you must have for being here is the show off your total lack of intelligence. If you don't use WindowBlinds at all then your opinion about them is completely worthless.The April Fools gag is over,you can go now.Your village called by the way,they want their idiot back.

Deserving or not, bullying people with a differing opinion is not right...

Lantec showed really poor judgement as moderator with his response to this very obvious personal attack on alfiejs.

We all slip sometimes, but we can be better than this, can't we?

A is a is a .  I don't think I was bullying anyone. alfiejs was thread bashing and not offering a different opion. Sorry you see it as an attack mickeko ,but I see it as giving someone the respect they deserved. If any mods feel otherwise,please PM me and I will offer a formal apology.

I understand your motives, and I don't hold it against you (nor against Lantec as a person, as a moderator he should know better). I don't agree with it though (hence my post), I think it's wrong, wrong, wrong. Troll or not.

Remember, two wrongs doesn't make a right.

Could be.....however, I was aware that he had already been exiled at the time of my post. I found Wizzes response quite funny....might be a language thing.........but if you were offended, I apologize.

Yes, the 'Now go away' was the moment of his departure.  Subsequent comment was thus not aimed at a member.

There's only 'so much' that can be tolerated by a troll.  Personal Messages indicated a desire to leave so the wish was granted.
