And what would be the response if someone turned up here and showed prove that they could use the sed software, would it be brushed under the carpet by you deanne??
This is theoretical by the way!
Cause deanne some of what you say about people is offensive and could end u up in court get my drift young lady!
Yahoo, you want to talk theoretical, and I'm talking factual. theoretically you might be able to worm you way out of fines and jail time--but it doesn't mean what you have done is legal. (ie oj simpson)
And yes, typical. If you can't silence people, threaten them. 
Yahoo, I have shown you 2 seperate e-mails from msn, which state that using the msn.ocx without permission is illegal. I am also aware that both you and admin_Jay think you can twist the laws of society enough to make what buzz en has done appear to be legal.
Yahoo, now that I have clearly showen (in 2 seperate emails) that using the msn.ocx without permission is considered illegal by msn legal department. I then asked you if buzz en did obtain permission from msn to use the msn.ocx as the sole foundation for their webchat services? You haven't answered that question yet Yahoo.
Also, yahoo--if and when you work in the buzz en help desk, what do you tell people who come in and ask about buzz en illegally using the msn.ocx?
btw Molsen, you and others keep saying that msn doesn't care--but if msn hadn't have cared, would they have spent time and money on obtaining an official legal statement about this whole situation from their legal department?
I also remember this same type of situation with napster--people were convinced that first it was legal...and then that even if it wasn't exactly 100% legal, the artists didn't care. And then once it became apparent that the artists did care, and were losing money, people justified it so that 'it didint matter because those artists made too much money anyways.'
But in the end-------what happened to napster? I suspect that is what the end will hold for clones also.
