Good. They did not do anything. They did not offer to do anything. Let them known that you intend to file a complaint with the BBB or similar body and then FILE IT! It does no good to threaten and then never follow through. The only people who can stop the inflow of stuff like this is the ISP....let them know, with action, that you find their lack of responsibility deplorable. When business as a collective begins doing this we may see results but I still ain’t holding my breath.This has very little to do with apathy which I can wholeheartedly agree is another problem we face. This is an issue of realistic expectations and your perceived actions by those who buy your products. You are doing this out of spite - because you feel offended:From RPG.netYou know what it looks like in public even though you ascribe to higher motives - your words say otherwise. Wanting to break some twerp in half legally AND sue him is taking the crime out of proportion (and impossible to boot). You are best served by dropping the offended ego and it is offensive when people take our work and just give it away willy-nilly and plugging on down the road with things that have a chance of providing you with a return. Things like filing a complaint with the BBB for each and every pirating offence. Realizing that at some point you are going to become an annoyance and when some spiteful little 13 year old with a 10,000 IQ realizes he can rock your world by posting your stuff - god help you, cause it will be everywhere. We should not fear reprisals but as publishers telling someone exactly where to hit you is never a good idea. Rise above the petty and do it professionally - if you have to do it at all or you are just asking for problems.</blockquote>
