i think the warez point honestly is un winable for either side... however that doesnt mean we shouldnt ban the topic... based on the fact that in both instances of warez and tethering(without proper plan) are both stealing in nature.. so its the same 2 evils of stealing, its just debatable are we merely only stealing a service, or are we in fact are we stealin service and manipulaing software to gain access..

You're using the Palm? Looks like you'll need to pay or search how to enable ICS which Palm disables in their ROM. That has nothing to do with this thread, so it's still not on track.

I'm using a Touch Pro, which HTC nor Sprint disable ICS in the stock ROM. I have connected it to my Linux laptop via USB and confirmed that launching the bundled ICS application in the Stock sprint rom and tapping CONNECT does indeed connect ICS, and gives my laptop a RNDIS connection.

I verified the connection as working, ran a speed test, and then disconnected it.

I have not repeated the test until just now. It still works.

I have no use for it, but its possible.

To actually get back to the real point of this thread:

Legally all US based forums must self-police to conform to the DMCA Title II provision, which covers specifically

Quote:

DMCA Title II, the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act ("OCILLA"), creates a safe harbor for online service providers (OSPs, including ISPs) against copyright liability if they adhere to and qualify for certain prescribed safe harbor guidelines and promptly block access to allegedly infringing material (or remove such material from their systems) if they receive a notification claiming infringement from a copyright holder or the copyright holder's agent. OCILLA also includes a counternotification provision that offers OSPs a safe harbor from liability to their users, if the material upon notice from such users claiming that the material in question is not, in fact, infringing. OCILLA also provides for subpoenas to OSPs to provide their users' identity.

Telling someone "change such and such registry value from DUN to SPRINT" is not linking to or providing access to infringing material. Creating a CAB that applies a registry edit and linking to that also does not provide access to infringing material.

Beyond that, what is and is not allowed is at the discretion of the website owner, and is laid out clearly in the Stickies at the top of the Forum Rules section

And that's the answer.

For the 15000th time.

Thanks for posting this, a great back story to the evo of a great app. Lol where was this link 100 posts ago. Look at what happened to the thread.

So people who want to learn about WMWifiRouter must prove that they do in fact pay for PAM service before they can get any help regarding the matter? As you stated yourself apparently wmwifirouter automatically circumvents ICS checks. If the mods do as you ask and remove all talk about tethering, people who legally pay for tethering can't get any information on it. It's not PPCGeeks responsibility to ensure that everyone is law-abiding. It is ultimately up to the end-user to decide if he wishes to abuse such knowledge for personal profit. Just because knowledge of tethering can be used for illicit purposes doesn't mean it should be outright banned.
