Go up one level in this thread



We have received a complaint about this thread, and I would like to state some
obvious points regarding sites where pirate software can be downloaded:

1) CCC is not a bootleg software information center.  Please don't post URL's to
places where stuff can be downloaded for free, if there is stuff there that is
bootlegged.  Things like Winboard, Crafty, etc., are free software, so you can
post URL's here, but things like Rebel, Genius, Fritz, Chessbase, etc., are not
free software, so please don't post these URL's here.

2) If you want to talk about something pirated that you downloaded, don't tell
anyone here that it is pirated.  If you do that, people will mail you and ask
you for the URL, so essentially you are advertising a pirate site, and unless
Bob and Dann are of a radically different opinion, we're not going to tolerate
that either.  So simply not giving the URL does not mean that the post is fine
here.

Thank you,

bruce
