As I understand it, Rich came under attack from some (as yet unnamed)
sources because he (i) sells old programs for the QL and (ii) sent
take-down notices (or was suspected of sending them) to sites that
apparently hosted copyrighted files without the owners’ consent.
It's the sort of double standards you expect these days. "The rules don't
apply to me" is a standpoint so common now, it's absurd. The very same
people who say they support the NHS stand by hospital doors smoking forcing
you to walk through their smoke because they can't be arsed walking to a
smoking bay 10 yards away. The very same people who moan if your car touches
a line in a parking bay promptly go and park their sacred expensive BMW
across two parking bays next to you.
You won't win arguments with people like this, so you wither ignore them and
get on with your life or you deal with them in such a way they can't / won't
upset you again for a long time.
These "rules don't apply to me" people are generally of low moral integrity
and generally untrustworthy and will often stab you in the back. So if
dealing with them, you have to fix it firmly once and for all or walk away
from it. Just like dealing with the playground bully.
