    If you felt the need to release code that contained copyrighted images, you would probably want to anonymously post it to the Usenet Newsgroups.

    Quoted from PPS:

    Yes do that ... And hope that no one cares ... As if they do they can subpoena your records as well as put you in a deposition .... So. It won't be so funny after that ... As the costs and the penalties are pretty extreme ... And hopefully some licensee does not want to make an example out of someone ...

    The Newsgroups are postable anonymously.

    So if someone wants to make a 2.0 version of Adam's Family and Raul Julia's widow doesn't like it, she is not going to be able to find anyone to send a S&D to.

    Ask Steve Ritchie how funny it was when people were posting about Stern on Usenet and Gary said "Call, and have that shit taken down!". LOL

    Anyone making a forum announcement of any "Fanware" needs to create a new account using TOR or IP Tunneling to hide their IP address and of course use a free email that was signed up for also under TOR.

    I never post on the net or email with my actual IP, and neither should you.

    GTB manuals are usually on alt.binaries.books.technical or alt.binaries.ebooks.technical

    Quoted from Zitt:

    I'd think You can make a game based upon an existing theme ... just don't use the DMD animations, source code, or sound effects. Using an existing table / art is ok... as long as you don't distribute it with your release.

    Why even take the chance?

    If you are going to release your Fanware to the the world, best to do it completely anonymously.

    A few years ago I almost lost my job because a few PinDicks were trying to get me fired from work.

    I learned that 100% stealth is the way to be.
