That's not true. They told me, they would speak to me only if I'm from USA or Canada otherwise I have to contact the local Microsoft department. And THEY forwarded my mail to Microsoft Germany and Microsoft Germany told me "the usage of this tool in this way is not allowed". ===================================================================== 18.09.2004 | -----------+ Mail from piracy(a)microsoft.com with the content: Hello, Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Anti-Piracy Team.

Ich habe heute erneut mit unserer Rechtsabteilung gesprochen und nun folgende Antwort erhalten: Deine Anwort an den Kunden �Nach unserer Recherche spricht nichts gegen die Verwendung von dem auf dieser Seite angebotenem Tool. Es werden von Seiten Microsoft keine Rechte verletzt.� stimmt so leider nicht. Denn, wie die US-Kollegen ganz richtig angemerkt haben: � Unfortunately, we do not permit third party distribution of kits.� Damit ist gemeint, dass das Downloadangebot � sprich: Distribution - dieser Microsoft-Software von Dritten nicht gestattet ist. Weiter im Text heisst es � Archival copies of kits are available through MSDN subscription.� Das bedeutet, dass auch Microsoft dieses Tool nicht kostenlos zur Verf�gung stellt, sondern nur im Rahmen eines (nat�rlich kostenpflichtigen) MSDN-Abos. Die Antwort, welche Sie aus den USA erhalten haben war somit schon richtig, die Nutzung dieses Tools in dieser Form ist nicht gestattet. Ich hoffe, Ihre Frage ist hiermit beantwortet worden. Bei weiteren Fragen stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verf�gung. Mit freundlichen Gr��en Monika Minisini Microsoft Deutschland GmbH Copyright Division Email: msdeap(a)microsoft.com =====================================================================

And THEY forwarded my mail to Microsoft Germany and > Microsoft Germany told me "the usage of this tool in this way is > not allowed". This translates into "You got the shove" for making a pest of yourself. Note the date of your emails are about 3 years old. Did you get a reply from repporting Microsoft for pirating their own software ? > Microsoft Germany told me "the usage of this tool in this way is > not allowed". This statement contradicts the Microsoft EULA for the particular versions of ML.EXE, LINK.EXE etc ... "1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This EULA grants you the following limited, non- exclusive rights: * SOFTWARE PRODUCT. You may make, install and use up to a maximum of ten (10) copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on computers, including workstations, terminals or other digital electronic devices, residing on your premises, to design, develop, and test software products, including but not limited to device drivers and other software products ("Application(s)") for use with Microsoft Windows and/or Windows NT." Now here is your choice, EITHER you have fed Microsoft bullsh*t or you have mistranslated the kraut email at the end of your posting (noting this is an English language newsgroup). Microsoft US has verified the enclosed EULA and they did not need your approval to do so. This leaves the informed reader with a simple choice, do they accept the legal garrantee from Microsoft with a legally valid EULA granting them rights of use of software or do they take the opinion of Herbert Kleebauer who on the weight of his own authority say you cannot ? Will you help poor Wannabee chew his hat now ?

And you're not authorized to post any executable under 1024 bytes!!! :) They're "illegal", y'know! For two cents, I'd post Hutch's code anyway. What's he going to do? Sue me? *That* would be profitable! :) But I'm not that kind of guy... usually... Best, Frank |
