Ah, but the full quote is "You agree that you will not directly or indirectly disable, circumvent, or otherwise interfere with the operation of software designed to prevent or report the use of Cheats." So, that includes unloading a cheat. With the unloading you "interfere with the operation of the software designed to prevent or report the use of cheats". <quote who="Florian Zschocke"> > What is also interesting is that this passage is not against > cheats themselves, but against disabling detection methods. And unloading a cheat definately disables detecting it.

The coders for making the cheats available and the users for using them. Cheats are pretty ineffective without either one of these 2 parties. It'd be like sending drug addicts to jail and letting the dealers keep on dealing. <quote who="Florian Zschocke"> > And my second point is that I don't > think Valve is really in the position of taking legal action > against cheat coders.

Hell, there's still software piracy going on, and they'll never catch 'em all, so why should they start on cheaters? It's a nice idea, and it'd be nice to see a conviction on this, but it's not very likely. Unless ofcourse we promote cheaters and cheat coders to "terrorist" and have Bush bomb the crap out of 'em. > > > Florian > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invader Zim | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | This looks like a job for me Counter Strike at | ICQ: 2548100 | So Everybody Just Follow me http://cs.take13.net | http://take13.net | Cuz we need a little controversy 6 CS servers powered by Slackware Linux | Cuz it feels so empty without me ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
