This is a question of fairness and ethics (Now it is getting deeper . . . )

Linking directly to files on other's webspace is also known as traffic theft. I don't think that this is what vb.org wants us to do. vbhacks-germany don't want to "work" against vb.org. We want to work WITH vb.org and FOR the (especially non english-speaking part of the) german community.

If linking directly to files within the vb.org webspace is OK for the vb.org team then we will think of it. But there has to be a word from the vb.org team itself about the direct linking.

Normally you link to a thread with a file to download (to give credits to the hack author) and not directly to a file. And this is (the first point I mentioned ) what we don't want to force our non-english-speaking users to: Reading a thread they don't understand.
