This isn't a high horse, this is basic social behavior that should be the norm. Exactly, you can do what you want when you want, right up to the point you violate someone else rights. Stealing their work because you think they have made enough off of it is ridiculous. You can try to justify it all you want, but in the end you are wrong and immoral for thinking its ok to do.

You obviously didn't follow that copyright situation to completion. He included the license statement he was required to as soon as his mistake was pointed out. Case closed. That's how that copyright works, and copyrights are only worth something if they are defended, which it was, and both Claymore and the dev came to amicable terms. People like you were the only ones outraged about something that had nothing to do with you. You sound like a social justice warrior and its pretty sad.

Its this kind of thinking that is outright wrong. You are not entitled to someone else's work! Even if you have the skills to circumvent their pay scheme. It is just plain wrong and immoral. Do you think people are entitled to a carpenters work? A plumbers? Most people don't have those skills either? This type of mind set is whats going wrong in the world. The amount of money someone is making has NOTHING to do with you. You have the freedom to NOT use his product. You do NOT have the right to use his product without compensating him in the way he requires for his work. No matter how much he wants to charge. If you don't think the product is worth the 2% fee then don't use it. There are many alternatives as people have pointed out. Its ridiculous for people to justify their wrong doing with "well he makes enough so I can steal his shit".

I don't understand this at all but if you have the skills to use the software without paying I have no problem with that - Claymore is already making way more than is really reasonable from people who don't have those skills.

Oh get off your high horse. I do what I want, when I want and how I want. If you want to talk morals, Claymore took OPEN SOURCE miners, tweaked them a little and released them as closed-source. Depending on the licenses of the original works it might not even be legal for him to release it without the source and without containing any copyright notices of the original works he made a derivate of. Where's your outrage there?

I am not outraged at all and to be honest didn't even know about any previous copyright disputes.

Calling me names really isn't nice, you should be careful not to get banned.
But go on with your hissy-fit, it is quite amusing to me. Maybe I will release my proxy with a 0.5% fee just to make you wet your pants even more. Wink
