I bought it retail/online? is that warez? also if it is someone edit this post asap[/QUOTE] post your original receipt immediately [editline]27th May 2012[/editline] or ban

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;36095289]I'm pretty sure that downloading disc images isn't illegal but cracking them is.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure it's the other way around. As far as publishers are concerned, digitally "stealing" a game is the same as stealing one physically.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;36095333]Pretty sure it's the other way around. As far as publishers are concerned, digitally "stealing" a game is the same as stealing one physically.[/QUOTE] Errr...you can't play a game if you don't crack it and if I'm a legal customer that have lost his dvd but still have my serial key for the game, why would I be forced to buy another copy of the game? Serial key represents that unique copy of the game I own, the DVD that I have lost, doesn't.

before a debate even begins let's just accept that it's a VERY legally gray area and you're better off not mentioning it

Apparently I've been blacklisted somehow. I'm getting a cloudflare challenge page every few minutes. Unbelievably frustrating. Please halp.

You and everyone else

is anyone else getting alot of 404 errors on facepunch since the DDoS protection has been enabled?

[QUOTE=Protocol7;36095375]before a debate even begins let's just accept that it's a VERY legally gray area and you're better off not mentioning it[/QUOTE] Agree, also this is not the right thread to talk about it.

[QUOTE=Greenen72;36095393]You and everyone else[/QUOTE] I actually haven't had a single thing from CloudFlare so far for some reason. Maybe people only get them if they're sending a lot of requests in a short period of time to the server?

[img]http://puu.sh/x2Gk[/img] okay.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;36095375]before a debate even begins let's just accept that it's a VERY legally gray area and you're better off not mentioning it[/QUOTE] I'd say it's morally right but legally wrong.

The Sethhack thread just got removed, didn't it?

[QUOTE=proch;36095919]The Sethhack thread just got removed, didn't it?[/QUOTE] garry deleted it because people were posting private information and email addresses.

And suddenly it reappeared and vanished again.

The thread was deleted because people were posting Seth's information. He is 14 years old - we can't allow people to post his information on the forums with the intention of harassing him. There's a new thread - which I hope we can keep clean.

Isn't he 15 now?

Wait, the forums went down because Facepunch pissed off a fourteen year old kid? The internet never ceases to amaze me.

[QUOTE=proch;36095961]And suddenly it reappeared and vanished again.[/QUOTE] I remade it, here. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1186606[/url]

Even then no need to post his infomation, Enough people have it that it can be sent via other means of private messaging on other programs or websites (Instant messagers or other communities).

Garry did you take/will you be taking legal action or even contacting Seth? Someone posted waay back that they thought you had

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;36086975]I don't think that is how the news bots work, besides refreshing pretty much does jack shit[/QUOTE] It was a joke.

[QUOTE=Trumple;36096636]Sensible. Garry did you take/will you be taking legal action or even contacting Seth? Someone posted waay back that they thought you had[/QUOTE] If I did or will or have I wouldn't be able to talk about it publically

[QUOTE=garry;36096855]If I did or will or have I wouldn't be able to talk about it publically[/QUOTE] Is that a yes or a no

[QUOTE=smace;36096862]Is that a yes or a no[/QUOTE] thats a ehhhhhhhhh

[QUOTE=smace;36096862]Is that a yes or a no[/QUOTE] I assume that it's a "yes but I don't want people discussing it."

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;36096889]I assume that it's a "yes but I don't want people discussing it."[/QUOTE] last i heard is that he send something to him about the whole thing but that was back before the mass gmod bans.

I know that garry is taking legal action, I heard this from a few people, with proof even. I sure hope that that seth guy gets his ass handed to him.

[QUOTE=Turing;36096922]I know that garry is taking legal action, I heard this from a few people, with proof even. I sure hope that that seth guy gets his ass handed to him.[/QUOTE] If that's true then I wish him the best of luck. The most frustrating and potentially one of the most damaging things to have happened to GMod and the community is seth, he deserves a lot more than a punishment for a DDoS (but since Seth broke the ToS with the injector who knows, maybe he will get slapped with something harsher)
