Is it illegal to register for your forums surfichris? Whats that got to do with rpping programs... its a free world, people can rip who they like... and they should face the conciquences from the author...

Thats what I think anyway... :undecided:

O.P.
You may be right Johnny, and that exactly why I originally created this thread... I don't have time to put in that kind of stupid stuff, so, I was asking all of you who do not think that ripping is a good practice to email them and let them know what you think about it. I never asked anyone to mail bomb anyone. You're free to do whatever you want. And Muss, I don't think that anybody will go physically beat them so, what else could have he meant? :)

Hey!, those gay.. errm.. guys over at www.gammasoft.com have two more products besides  REALY-NOT-advanced Messenger Plus.

PRODUCT 1:
quote:

The tool is integrated with the Windows Shell and you can directly start conversion by right-click on the selected audio files and selecting "Convert to WMA" from Windows explorer. The tool also support batch conversion mode and you can add multiple audio files and convert them in a batch.

PRODUCT 2:
quote:
AAA Color Picker is an easy to use tool which let you get the color value from anywhere on your screen. It will display the color value in different formats: .NET, VC, VB, VFP, Java, Delphi, RGB and HSB. You can easily copy the color value in your preferred format from this tool to other applications.

How to use AAA Color Picker

Just move your mouse to the point where you want to get color, and the color value of the pixel under your mouse will be displayed in this tool. Press the hot key CTRL-1 to stop the color picking and then all done!

SO, who is the one to make some nice freeware/open source/public domain versions of these software?
It are really not advanced programs.. BUT GAMMASOFT IS ASKING $14,95 FOR IT!!! I think we should provide peope a free alternative :D

I'm waiting... who will be the fist one to create...
Super-EasyWMA Converter v2.0 ...and...
ABC Color Picker Pro.....
for free!! :D :) :D

You do not need to register "Messenger Plus!" to have copyright on it, just by releasing the product you have that, you only need to register to have it as a trade mark.

Either way, it is illegal for someone to knowingly copy your program name, although copying the ideas and implementation is completely legal unless you get patents (at £1000's) on it.

Sadly, in reality, you (and anyone else) will never make enough money to challenge anyone in any court in America, for anything, without bankrupting yourself.

You don't need to register, so you can't pick where you register it. Anyway - if they have any connection to America it will probably end up in American courts (as everything seems to do), and sadly it would cost £000's to pursue anywhere (apart from Libya where for about £10 you could get them shot legally  :wink: )
