How is it wrong to mirror someone's work? It's not like he's not claiming it's his own work

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server
 

because mightymike asked personally for it not to be mirrored so he could keep track of download totals and such. many chefs and creators ask the same so they have some numbers to work off of otherwise it wouldnt be close to being right

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server
 

Going against someone's wishes doesn't make it wrong. No matter what you do, you're pretty much always going to be going against someone's wishes. I bet someone wishes somebody would upload a mirror right now, but everyone is going against that :D

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server
 

Not saying that people's feelings don't matter, but mighty is the creator of this, and he has the right to make that request. If he asks that no mirrors be made, then none should be made, regardless whether it'll go "against someone's wishes."

very much agreed, it would be like a hospital going against your wishes and pulling a family member off of life support.....

Not speaking on official word or anything, but takedown notices unfortunately have to addressed in a "act now, ask questions later" fashion.

I personally believe its a fake, but you always have to take precautions when dealing with these matters. If its fake, the person can be sued for impersonation and other legal BS.

Totally fake, WHOIS that domain name and it smells fishy.

Next thing you know they want you to send some money to a bank account in Nigeria.

That's a terrible comparison. What the hospital would be doing is against the law. As much as he might want it to be, going against MightyMike's wishes isn't illegal. Maybe it is up in Canada, but not here on the interwebs :)

Re: MightyRom Website Down, Temp File Server
 

Just don't screw with other people's stuff. It IS against the law for you to distribute something that someone has created and asked you not to distribute. Hence takedown notices... Even if the creation is not copyrighted/trademarked, it can still be proven to be his creation and it is the creator's right to dictate distribution. This applies to many things. Mike has distribution requirements on his creations and if they are not followed, that is infringement on his distribution requirements. He shouldn't have to go get his work copyrighted to stop idiots on this forum.

Just don't do it. If you do, you will most likely just get warned, and then banned if you continued.

That's kind of ironic, seeing as how you're arguing on a site that's pretty much dedicated to screwing with and re-hosting Microsoft's "stuff"

Wrong.

Especially wrong in this case, seeing how 99% of the stuff this "someone has created" was actually created by Microsoft

They might be able prove it's their creation, but they can't do anything about it, not legally. That's part of the whole reason copyrights and trademarks exist, so they CAN do something about it

Okay? I never planned on it
