You did absolutely nothing wrong other than, perhaps, explaining in your post, wherever it should have gone to, the reason you wanted the downloads. Then again, hindsight is always 20/20. --- In God we trust! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 9:22 AM Subject: [Audyssey] My Apologies and Explanation
Hi all, I'd like to extend both my apologies and my explanation for the Rogue Angel request that showed up late yesterday evening. I'm also very sorry that this has turned into something of a debate as it did not need to be if you properly understood what happened, and my intentions regarding these Rogue Angel programs. First, as I said the message got sent to this list quite by accident. There is a mailing list where books are shared, and the message was intended for that list. However, somehow, unknown to me, it got sent to this list instead. Thus the issue we now face. Second, I've been accused of piracy by several list members. I've been called a spade, to faced, etc. However, many of you jumped to conclusions, accused me unjustly, without completely understanding my intentions or plans. You just assumed I intended to pirate the materials outright. That's not true. Since I need to give an explanation for why I was asking for these materials I will do so at this time. You are free to except or not except my reasons below. Whenever I purchase a music cd, movie, book, you name it I'd like to have an opportunity to watch, listen to, or read it before buying it. Since I knew these Rogue Angel programs were out there I was hoping to listen to them, and if I liked them I would buy them from Graphic Audio. If I didn't care for them I would delete them as I'd have no use for them. either way my intentions was to preview the material I was thinking about buying. If that is a crime then I guess that means we can't watch TV or listen to the radio any more because Both are good sources for previewing movies and music right? I'll leave you all with these basic questions. How many of you have gone out and purchased a music cd not having heard a single song on it on the radio before? How many of you have gone out and purchased a movie on dvd without having seen it on HBO, Show Time, Stars, etc before? How many of you have gone out and purchased an audio book without having listened to it from the public library before? So with that in mind if my intent is to preview or listen to these audio dramas before purchasing them does that make me a criminal? If I watch a movie on tv before buying it does that make me a criminal? If I hear a song on the radio before buying the cd does that make me a criminal? --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
