Okay, you really need to start shutting up now and instead start listening and

that this isn't the first community where you'd be getting into a spot of trouble
with your incessant hammering on these issues. Knock it with the illegal crap.
That's what gets communities (like this one) shut down, OK?

That implies a systemic desire to avoid valid
copyright. That doesn't
seem like a good idea. If you don't respect others' copyright, you
shouldn't expect anyone to respect yours.
No problem there, I don't have any copyrighted items I've made :P
And the idea isn't to do that just to be ignorant and say "Ha ha!" to the
US
government agencies/lawyers, the idea would be to do that so that people
could upload full versions of vintage software that you once had to pay for
without having to worry about some employee coming out of the dead and suing
us...it really shouldn't be an issue with software of this age but webspace
in Russia would just make this whole copyright deal a non-issue thus meaning
we wouldn't have to censure our archives content nor deal with any
roundabout ways of distributing the archive such as requiring a free
registration
