bofors Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Bofors-We still try to take out threads that are bad or illegal. Patches are that kind of grey area, but you're right, we should probably be a little more strict. I'll look around and see if I see anything that looks too shady (keep in mind, I've still been doing this on a daily basis as I read the forum). The other thing I would add to the "grey" area list that I would ban here is posting links to 10.4.4 kexts and such. The point is that you want to err on the side of over-compliance. Here is an example of how this site is being used to disseminate copyrighted material: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=6969&st=0# Again, I have done this too: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...pic=6995&st=34# (BTW Mashugly, there is some kind of bug in the direct post link automatically generated by the board, the correct suffix here was "34#" but the board was generating "20#".) still not working here too..... damn dns updates.... DS I still am stuck looking at this {censored} too: Website not yet configured The website you are trying to access is unknown in the system. Best regards, Your Servage.net team Servage.net Cluster Debug: 192.168.20.3 / 69.14.114.108 / 80 I am going to give my ISP about 12 more hours to reset their DNS cache before I start beating ass.

bofors Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I finally got back to win2net. In addition to my ISP DNS caching, I suspect that Safari was part of the problem to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent by: [Private] Fenwick & West LLP San Francisco, CA, 94111, USA Recipient Information: [Private] ThePlanet.com, ISP host to Win2osx.net The Planet.com Internet Services, Inc. Dallas, Texas, 75207, USA Sent via: email Re: Illegal Materials Posted on and Linked-to From Win2osx Site Hosted by The Planet.com Dear [private]: We represent Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple"), which owns the copyrights in the Mac OS X operating system software. It has come to our attention that a web site hosted by The Planet.com, www.win2osx.net (the "Win2osx Site"), contains material that infringes Apple's copyrights and contains links to other material that infringes Apple's copyrights. In addition, the material is illegal under the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The details are as follows: Infringing Materials Posted the Win2osx Site. The Win2osx Site contains decrypted versions of encryption-protected files that Apple distributes with Mac OS X ver. 10.4.4. The decrypted binary code (the "Decrypted Code") may be found at the following URLs on the Win2osx Site: http://www.win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2901 http://www.win2osx.net/wiki/index.php/Tran....decrypted.wipe Apple protects these copyrighted files with an encryption key specific to a single end-user purchaser. Any unauthorized use of these files is strictly prohibited. The foregoing decrypted files on the Win2osx Site infringe Apple's copyrights. Infringing Materials Linked To From the Win2osx Site. In addition, the Win2osx Site contains one or more links to http://maxxuss.hotbox.ru/patch_8g1165.html (the "Maxxuss Patches"), at which may be found links to "patched" versions of the Mac OS X ver. 10.4.4 operating system that have been designed to run on non-Apple hardware. These "patched" files overwhelming contain copied code from Apple's copyrighted operating system and are therefore infringing since such copying and modification has not been authorized by Apple. Links to the Maxxuss Patches may be found on the Osx86project Site, for example, at http://www.win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2893 (the "Maxxuss Thread"). DMCA Anti-Circumvention Violations. Apple uses encryption and other technological measures in Mac OS X ver. 10.4.4 to effectively control access to its copyrighted operating system code and to effectively protect its rights as a copyright owner in that code. The foregoing materials posted on the Win2osx Site and linked to from the Win2osx Site are primarily designed and produced for the purpose of circumventing these technological measures. Accordingly, providing or offering them to the public through the Osx86project Site constitutes a violation of the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA at 17 U.S.C. §§ 1201(a)(2) and 1201((1). In view of the foregoing copyright infringements and anti-circumvention violations, we demand that you immediately remove or cause to be removed from the Win2osx Site or any other site owned, operated or under your control, all Decrypted Code and all links to the Maxxuss Patches, including such links in the Maxxuss Thread or wherever else on the Win2osx Site such links may appear. Failure to do so could subject you to legal liability. Please confirm to the undersigned in writing no later than noon on Friday, Feb. 17, 2006 that you have complied with these demands. You may reach the undersigned by telephone at [private] or by email at [private]@fenwick.com. Apple reserves all further rights and remedies with respect to this matter. I hereby confirm that I have a good faith belief that use of the Decrypted Code and the Maxxuss Patches in the manner complained of in this letter is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, and that, under penalty of perjury, I am authorized to act on behalf of Apple Computer, Inc., the owner of the exclusive rights in the Mac OS X ver. 10..4.4 operating system that are allegedly infringed.

Mr. Bond Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Interesting how he states that he is acting he's acting on behalf of Apple, the exculsive owner of rights to 10.4.4. I guess that essentially confirms most of our speculation that Apple was really only concerned about the safety of the final release. Conspiracy theories aside,the community really did help Apple out with regards to the beta builds. But they've now had enough, and it seems like only now they're trying to put an end to this, since now it'll start costing them real money. My .
