I've always seemed to be on my own getting pi**ed off about piracy. The amount of people who brag about getting pirated stuff amazes. Like the dickhead who came up to me (me, yaroze loving person who was trying to get a job at Sony) and said, I can get you any psx game you want for a tenner and get your psx chipped. Seeing as I was in the house of that persons friend and was asking him a favour I just looked at him and said no, I dont bother rather than give him a slagging off match. Funnily enough, I just laugh at hackers; if they want to work their way through the code without any help, good luck to em. So far all ive seen (or heard) hackers programs are a scrolltext and 1 3d object. Talk about banging your ehad against a brick wall. Am I the only one who has been contacted by loads of people asking for source code to their stuff? I reply and say, 'its on my web site anyway but if you can prove you are a member then ill send it to you' I get sh***y replies. So far its from about 10 peope. I mean, where are they getting my sodding email from? I have no external site or anything (and this was before the external demos list) btw, lets keep this in the right newsgroup! Rob
