Well, I was doing my best to turn the table，if you still thinking we are thieves, I feel sorry about this.
last night I posted some of my project to make friendship with you, but it was removed, I fell sorry,too.
farewell

One have to work a lot to gain the trust that is lost, but I am confident that if you endure, old mistakes will be forgiven.

OK then, for the time being, I restore your Gallery post - let the "community" decide if they like the idea.

I can't seem to see when Bianhai - Brian visited this forum the last time...

It's also very difficult to visit SketchUpBBS.com...
Wonder why...

We at Twilight Render have noted that the effort at SketchUpBar to remove illegal softwared appears legitimate, and has received the support of their forum members.

This is to be encouraged and applauded. Thank you, tas_1985 or egoddess for your understanding.
We have accepted their apology for posting illegal software for download, and have encouraged them strongly to remove ALL pirated software from their servers and forums.

We look forward to a future when everyone can have software in their language without adding trouble to it.

As the Chinese (and all countries) stand together against the pirates, they will find much more support in the world than they may at first believe...

We will have Twilight available in several languages in the coming months...
Hope to see you at Twilight Render,
Fletch

**ps... Twilight Render not condone 'fighting fire with fire' in the digital world... we encourage respecting of international laws. We do believe in pursuing pirates to the fullest extent of the law.

We (people) depend, rather, on the 'good guys' out there to do what is right. We have all made mistakes and needed forgiveness at some point in life.**

Well done Fletch!

If there is one app that can do without piracy it is Twilight.
The price is right, even for students.

Modelhead,
Whether you use the technology to crack the code of an application or to hack into a remote computer, both actions are illegal if not criminal. You cannot condemn the one act and justify the other.

The suggestion that the police would publicly authorize hacking into a remote system for the purpose of disrupting it is ridiculous. If they are then they themselves are breaking the law. The implication that your mate could be hired to disrupt the networks of the sites in question is entirely out of order.

This forum is not made up of cyber-vigilantes that would employ illegitimate means to adminiser vengeance on anybody that dares to crack a plugin. I think you are overinfatuated with the idea that these individuals have the power to trace any individual anywhere and wreak havoc with impunity. I also think your obvious close association and support of somebody who by your own account makes himself guilty of such an action only brings your own values into question.

I request that when everything is done this topic be locked and sunk, thank you SCF

Thank Tas for your efforts and I truly hope that they will be rewarded.
The topic will be closed in due time and let it sink.

Gaieus

OK, it seems one issue has been solved.

The other one - sketchupbbs - is still waiting for resolution and since the concerned party has done nothing but closed his site/forum from collecting evidence of his piracy so far, he has been permanently banned for the time being (further steps are now carried out by other concerned, 3rd parties).

At the same time, I am closing this topic and let it sink.

Please, someone post a funny pic here to start sinking it.
