Is this relevant to anything?
Possibly. The download for MGS is hosted on unfictional.com, and that site has been labeled by google as spreading malware. It's possible that the web server has been compromised in some way. It's unlikely that it's the MGS software itself that has been labeled as malware.

I have the installation files. But I'm not redistributing them without Frank's permission.

Very glad to have your reply. I've pm Frank. But I do not know when he reply to me. If he reply, I will forward his message to you. Then would you copy the files to give me.

Anyone redistributing those files will be dealt with with extreme prejudice. I hope everybody understands that Copyright violation is a criminal offence.
I will contact your local police wherever you live - China, Viet Nam and pay them to have you arrested if I have to. Do not start a fight with me by stealing my work - you'll dearly regret it.

Unfictional got hacked and I am re-uploading the files. The only thing that got hacked was the wordpress install on that site, not my files.

And I think zhzj should get his IP address banned for saying he intented to pirate Go software. I hope that me having "controversial opinions" will not let people get away with using this forum to solicit software piracy. Whoever own this forum - your moderators are sleeping - if this happens again, I'll have to see what can be done about this.

Take a deep breath Frank. As far as I can tell, nobody wanted to do anything with your software without obtaining your prior consent.
Patience, grasshopper.

We don't read every post, and it is not practical for us to try to do so. But we regularly look at the list of reported posts. To report a post, all you have to do is click on the little red exclamation mark icon in the lower right corner of the post.

Gentlemen,

There are several posts here that are unnecessarily provocative. Can you all please ease off just a little?

@FrankdeGroot: The admins/owners of this site do not condone software piracy, and will try to prevent it from happening on this site. ( Check out http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... 047#p26047 )
We do something as soon as we see it, and most often we see it when someone reports a post. You do not need to resort to threats, just report it to us by clicking on the red exclamation mark.
It is not clear to me that zhzj intends to violate copyright. In two of his three posts he specifically mentions getting your permission. Given that fact, and the fact that English is obviously not his native language, I am not inclined to infer malicious intent from his posts.

@Zhzj: I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. I trust that you will continue to seek permission before making copies of copyrighted software.

@CarlJung: Thank you for the principled stand.

-JB

Has there ever been a Frank de Groot thread that hasn't ended up a disaster? Honestly, why must we always fall into the trap of providing this guy with a platform? There's no need for warnings. Just lock the damn thread and throw away the key. :roll:

Oh come on, what would a discussion forum be without heated discussion :) Not every thread need to be bland.

I think the worst part of this thread is a call to exterminate all people who are "rich"..

No, a prior poster said "Eat the Rich".

Important announcement:

Some people let their browser ask Microsoft or Google every time they visit a URL whether MS/Google thinks that site is "safe". The site that hosted the files had a hacked WP install, and Google keeps saying it's a "malware site". First of all I think it's a bad idea to give Google/MS your browsing history, secondly: There is absolutely no malware in the Moyo Go Studio files. Any virus check will show that - except some signature-based programs, they can be triggered by some sequences in the enormous, compressed files.

I deleted the hacked old Wordpress install, in fact I deleted the entire site's contents, that is why the files were not available. I will ask Google to re-scan the site and I hope the malware warning will go away.
