we all pirate games every day and no one says anything moral about it. once someone "pirates" xenon++ 's work and its a community uproar about respecting wishes and the justification of morality? i really don't see the problem with preserving files or redistributing files. this is a board that caters to pirates and hackers.
with that said, there should be no redistribution of old files that add nothing new. that type of release would be a dupe and quickly removed from filetrip. however, mirroring of files i don't have a problem with because it perserves the files for a future generation of users.
it seems some have an issue with the files being on filetrip. please remember that filetrip has a goal to host all files in an effort to maintain working back-ups. if an author wants his/her files removed then they would need to request it and have good reason (ie: i've sold the project and i no longer own the code, the license does not permit distribution, etc). as i understand it xenoon++ requested it, but a request does not need to be honored. let us not forget that there is little honor among thieves and pirates and respect is earned.
