Newer versions seem to have their own names like |Protracker etc. Noisetracker IS copyrighted by agreement with Karsten Obarski. Well maybe some of the confusion is being caused by the terms we are using. Just because a program is copyrighted and is being passed around on BBS's doesn't mean it is pirated. There is such a thing as Freely Distributable software. The Author retains the copyright but allows the program to be passed around freely. What I am saying is that I don't care if Noisetracker is copyrighted or not. I want to know is it a commercial program that has been stolen and is being passed around illegally. I still don't have an answer to that one. None exept more rumors and "I can't prove it but 'trust me'". You might not be able to SHOW me the proof over the network but at least you can describe it to me? |Hope I added additional disarray to the debate ;-) Yep. |Jorgen -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.
