prescotti,

It used to be available on SPEAR's site. Until Scott Kevill found out that retail mods were being distributed for free...

Anyone who uses Black Thorn, demo or full, will be banned?

Probably I have been away from GR too long, but I'm so lost. Someone mind letting me in on what is going on?

Who else thinks Kevill is a big pain in the ass? ?I don't mind him disapproving of pirating, but it is legal to have BT modded for Mac if you own the PC version. ?I'd bet the number of people with pirated versions of UT is 100 fold the number who have BT but he isn't banning all UT players he suspects of not buying their game.

Bondo, it is a fact that about 5 Mac RS players have actually purchased Black Thorn.

and anyways, the legality of porting the PC version even if you own it isn't quite clear.

For all the mods Mauti has ported, he got permission first or else him porting it would not be legal.

When Ack (or Redrum) ported Covert Ops and Black Thorn, they clearly violated the copyright ownership of Ubisoft who has not authorized them to do that.

Thus, anyone who plays Black Thorn on their Mac is a pirater.

Ace, Black Thorn is a RS expansion pack that a guy bought and then ported to the Mac, put it up on his website.. then Scott got wind of it and promptly banned anyone who was using it at the time.

Wow, I saw it being played on GR this weekend. I had no idea  that it was banned from there. Thanks for the info. It sucks that they don't make "anything" for the MAC!
:o

Well since Microsoft owns 75% of the world (including your soul muwahahahaha), it's very rare that the newest hottest thing will be made available for mac users. Just give it time prescotti, give it time.  :(

Except for Office and Explorer because lord knows Microsoft doesn't want us to think of them as the enemy.
