Bitorrent distribution
« on: October 24, 2005, 12:44:55 am »
Aren\'t people downloading the client via bitorrent infringing on the license as summarized on the license page ?

(quote from the license page : \"You cannot distribute the client.\" )

I don\'t suggest you\'re preparing for massive sueing of your player base, but still, seeders (and \"normal\" peers as well in fact) are in a strange position aren\'t they ?

Oh no! and I hear that planeshift.it website is listing other websites that are offering the client for download too! and Sourceforge has tons of content! We should send a message to them to stop their downloads... unless... they were authorized?

And yes, the bitttorrent download is authorized. It\'s seeded on laanx.fragentics.com in fact.
