Since this was asked publicly I will respond publicly. 1. We meaning the gamers moderators thank Phil for bringing this to the gamers attention. In that sense it was on topic because it was regarding gamers web sites and it could affect one's ability in downloading games, contacting the game devs, etc.
2. usually what ends up happening is that a branched off discussion about how it's legal or not, how one can stop these, how one can track the person, etc ends up coming up which is definitely off-topic. I saw this heading in that direction so put a stop to the thread. It's good to know about such things going on but starting a discussion about what I said in number 2 is not needed on this list. As someone pointed out, this is not a tech list. One last point. If anyone disagrees with a moderator's warning/note message then one needs to write to the moderators or owner privately as per rule number 6 in the guidelines. Posting publicly against the decision of a moderator is definitely off topic and only serves to fray nerves and could start a flame. matt said the following on Tue, Apr 25, 2006 at 07:37:04PM -0500: > How is it not?
