Since I was the only one last night that spoke up against the ethical and legal issues with distributing an obtained RC of 1.2 - and got ridiculed and cursed at numerous times without the moderator at hand doing a thing about it - I thought it at least ended well with Reggie closing the thread with the statement:

""Please do not distribute or link to any non-official beta, early release, or hacked files here in maemo.org. It is against Nokia's EULA and considered illegal. Members doing so may be legally charged with copyright infringement. We advice that you stop proliferating such files immediately.

Let's put a stop on it her right now. Please stop sharing the illegal file(s) on other threads, your signatures, or private messages.

For the community, please report posts and/or members who are still linking to the illegal files. The posts will be deleted and the reported members may be banned.

Thank you.""

So for everyone who is touting that this is a great community - maybe stop for a second and consider that your actions are going against what the actual forum administrator states - and how your posts about a one month old RC is now clogging up the forum for absolutely no point at all since it's an old RC and any 'testing' you may think you are doing is not even valid.

I will be a good forum member and do what the administrator asks of us - to report anyone continuing to link/spread this RC and hoping that that person does indeed get banned.


I also got a bucket of crow for selected people to chow down on.
