Only one person has admitted a mistake thus far, and it was Marcus Glocker, in his first post to the thread. After that, Michael got to the point of saying that he does not believe that Marcus made a mistake. Therefore Michael has further entrenched his position. > A private email SHOULD be the first approach for a copyright issue like > this, regardless of whether its a private person or a corp. > > > > Shall I keep replying until everyone gets it? > > Whatever makes you happy :) It makes me happy to show that I have empathy for a situation where someone who puts hundreds of hours of work in as a hobby, and to defend that person.

Gimme a break. These were essentially claimed by some of the examples shown by Michael. Go look carefully. That said, there were more real issues, and those have been dealt with in a reply from Marcus, plus the driver now being deleted.
