Not necessarily me but..YES.


It's not fair to any licensed entity selling a product or software when someone is undercutting them by distributing data (or derived products from data) which is/was purchased with the caveat it is personal use only.

Most likely paying for it...
So if they are buying and then converting it to their own numbers , they are doing what every other programmer is doing.....but hes giving it out for free ...its this decision!!!!
No, that's not what every programmer is doing.

Most programmers write their software to use a commercial file sold by a licensed reseller, or they use it for themselves only. There are many people on PA who wrote software which reads BRIS, DRF, HDW or TrackMaster files, or which they keep to themselves.

Its also not his decision to give away or sell data, even if derived from the original source. It is a violation of the terms of use of the data to create something from it for anything other than personal use without a license to do so.

I hope they crack the **** down HARDER on anyone giving data away...that's what I hope...

Guys who can't afford to pay for data shouldn't be betting in the first place.

Oh well.
I would probably try it again too if there was another free trial. It has been a long time and I din't remember much about it
