Bandwidth theft is piracy...read the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or something along those lines..you'll probably find things there that show what WM was doing..was in fact illegal towards the sites and the addon authors...maybe not all things but alot
Guess respect doesn't go as far as it used to huh?
Other than that...how is everyone   |
I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure there is no case here. WM isn't "stealing" any bandwidth here. They are using very publicly available links and webpages. Now, I do know of many cases that do *try* to go this route, many of them are pure money grabs or publicity stunts, but lawyers have tried. Bandwidth "theft" isn't "theft" and it isn't "piracy." That is definitely a fact.
