That is not a solution to the problem. I have ROTW and the supplements. So what? How is that going to stop someone from posting copyrighted materials, or worse, the forum administrators allowing it?

The problem is some guy posting loads of rocketry stuff that everyone likes to see, but that some of it carries a copyright. There's the problem - we all like looking at the material and we acquiesce. We allow it. And this certain individual loves the attention, the thank-you's, and all the warm fuzzies we get when we look at nice scale data. But this practice has hurt one of our own - a highly respected member of our community. When Peter Alway publicly objected to this behavior I think a line has been crossed.

I've reported this behavior here and on the other forum. No action was taken. I would like to see the forum administrators stop allowing the practice, and even see this one individual censured should he continue posting. A cleanup is long overdue.
