The fact that Jelsoft is apparently consulting with lawyers tells everyone there's no chance in hell this hack is ever coming back, whether its legal or illegal.

I think I mentioned 10 or 15 pages ago that Jelsoft would have to consult thier attorney's regarding the hack regardless....

I dont think anyone here disagrees with the fact that the hack could potentially be misused. And I dont think anyone here has said that Jelsoft was not in thier rights to those would would in essence give out thier software for free....

This hack, given what it accomplishes, would need to have legal review it simply because if Jelsoft puts it back up with a note saying 'hey this hack is okay, have fun' ... it may jeopordize how they legally go after the real culprits.


Speedstreet makes a good point, one I tried to present as well. This is going nowhere fast, the same arguements are being re-hashed out again and again. The alternatives being discussed such as a new hacking community and lawsuits would ultimately do more harm than good.

At this point it appears that there are inreconciliable differences of opinion regarding this hack so the only thing to do at this point is wait for Jelsoft offical last word on it. If some feel that they must take thier business elsewhere, or create an alternative site for hacking, then so be it.
