ohmy.gif Another nutcase lawsuit sad.gif

As you said earlier, Manadren, there are a lot more idiots out there than I first thought biglaugh.gif (or was it morons)... Obviously another individual who has too much time on his / her hands... bigcry.gif

LOL now that is funny.

Actually, I often get this bot on here that checks for copyright infrigments. As we do not support warez (maybe I do, but not the site tongue.gif ) I don't really worry, but had the thoughts of blocking it. They actually obey robots.txt so I could simply block it through that but to be saffer I'd block the IPs.

according to this letter a ftp site distributing a free map pack for Unreal Tournament 2003 is being thrated by the Entertainment Software Association. Why? because a bot picked it up as possible pirat software because the filename "INFMapPacks123FULL-MAN.zip" includes the words Pac and Man tongue.gif


Yep, more of that "Threaten suit first, ask questions later" policy that we all love so much...
