Some cliffnotes of what happened, for the ones who aren't familiar with the case:
A program was sold and somehow the content was lost and there were no backups. When trying to restore the content it turns out that the seller wasn't aware that the license of the content he bought from Paul wasn't transferrable. The buyer tries to negotiate with Paul who keeps changing the asking price to more and more ridiculous figures/terms. Which is fine, he has the right to do so, it's his content. The buyer posts a warning thread for people not to do business with Paul but after a few pages of discussions he realizes that the terms of the license did in fact prevent the license to be transferred and he apologizes to Paul. The program gets sold again and Paul runs out to the boards and posts threads that the program (owners) are thieves and pirates because they have his content in the design of some sites yet they don't hold a license for it. This despite the fact that Paul was asked REPEATEDLY to provide a list of what content of his is featured there so it can be removed. Paul was asked to issue an apology for calling the new program owners thieves, since they didn't steal anything to begin with and Paul's beef should've been with the initial seller of the program who gave the content to affiliates to use for promotion, despite the license forbidding that. The one who issued the warning about Paul apologized. Paul wrongfully accused someone of stealing and refused to apologize. He will stay banned, as he never actually contributed anything to the discussions. He's welcome to issue an apology to the program owners here though.
Best of luck in your future endeavours, Paul.  |
Clueless or a liar.
First thing you missed was the original buyer (A) was told to send his customer for his program to me to relicense it. I was well prepared to do so and have done so in the past many times.
The new buyer (B) did not try to negotiate and you know this. He wanted me to supply the content and new license for free. You know this because I spoke to you about it on ICQ and can post the logs. I asked for an advert on your board and you refused.
The new buyer wanted a NEW LICENSE, not a transfer and NEW LICENSE, as he wanted to resell the content after he had been expressly told he did not own the content, he did not even own a license. He has sold the program, our content is still all over it and no new license has been issued.
So the second buyer has sold the program along with my content to a third person (C) which is also in the affiliates area. So lets just recap here.
(A) broke the license by selling it. After being told not to sell it.
(B) bought something he had no license, IDs models releases on and used it as he pleased. Even after he was told he continued to use it and sold it, however we agreed the new buyer would contact me and arrange a new license. I told him to take my content out of the affiliates area. He should know what content he's giving to affiliates is legal. I supplied him with a list of the content.
(C) now has it and breaking the license by using it in the affiliates area. He has the list and has contacted me, because he sent me the copy of the list. So he knows what is mine, knows it should not be in the affiliates area and has not removed it.
AND YOU WANT ME TO APOLOGIZE??????
And some on this board are astounded I got upset and lost my rag. I bet they would of kept theirs if it were them.
