I of course feel sorry that somebody released your code to the internet.

But they only did it because it was no longer available for sale.

I liken it to Chinese Democracy by Guns Roses. The record company complained that sales were a disappointment, but 15 years late, all the fans who "had to have it" already had it, since word on the street was that the album was never coming out.

As king of all lawyers, I advise you to do this:

If you are an ace coder, write some code that will spread a "white virus" through the Pinside and RGP email list that will seek out any copies or iso of the Pinbox software and slightly modify it. Allow the Pinbox software to install, but make it have some random instability.

You can also have the virus phone home and report the IP address of each person in the world currently possessing a copy of Pinbox.

This is not a difficult task for a good coder, but it will give you a project to occupy your time until you start working on Nucore again.

I forgot all about OnTV.

Our middle school electronics teacher actually helped a dozen of us etch the circuit board for the descrambler box.

The schematic and circuit board art was a Xerox of a Xerox of a Xerox copy.

Funny, nobody said "This is stealing" back then. The teacher just said, "Hmmm, this looks like a good project to learn about PPLs (or something like that)".

I say this statement was the domino that caused the entire thing.

End of story.
