Exactly.

PS: and for **** sake, people, how often do you need to download AGAIN AND AGAIN the flasher and the firmware? can't you just download it one f*cking time and keep it safe?

Well, I'm just sharing the link. Feel free to tell which law exactly I'm breaking. (And if I'm breaking some, than it's a bad law).
Nokia nor Microsoft don't give a fs#&k about some old freeware (not so freeware nowadays..) program.

I've downloaded it like year ago, but for newbies...

Yes it is a kindness you are offering.
Unfortunately such cavalier behaviour will perhaps not be advisable.
As far as breaking laws...copyright.. unlawful dissemination and use of proprietary data, information ...etc., without express permission of the lawful holder. It is pretty much internationally accepted as law.
Posting such links direct or indirect here on this site may involve our community in unwanted attentions. ...attentions of a legal nature....attentions we do not wish.

Instead of open defiance resulting in potentially unsavoury results at this particular time....
I would humbly suggest perhaps insisting to members who wish a link or wish access to proprietary files that they private message you or whomever else has copies or access to links and provide them privately thereby not endangering yourselves or the community as a whole.

My answer was to your (more generic) question of "Nokia doesn't care about us, why we should care about Nokia('s 'intelectual' property)"

Nokia may not care about (supporting) us, but you can bet your 455 it does care about intellectual property.

maemo wasn't sold to M$ afaik, so I guess it's a true orphan now, since what's left of Nokia deals with network stuff like base stations and is not interested in maemo either.
