Star Wars Asciimation Revisited

Treebeard the Ent writes "A few years ago, Slashdot did a story about a guy Who was creating a full motion Ascii version of Star Wars in Asciimation. This is a link to the source of the now infamous Star Wars ASCIIMATION project that has been evolving since 97. This guy has stated that he prefers to finish this project on his own (but you are welcomed to do any of the other Star Wars movies). In his FAQ's he has stated that he doesn't have time to support his Java applet nor the text files, so he would not be making them available for anyone. Fortunatally enough for those of us who are interested, he has left them wide open in a standard zip file on his server. So download and have fun... Just please don't make any ASCII pr0n movies..."

Thank god, other people are thinking the same thing.

In his FAQ's he has stated that he doesn't have time to support his Java applet nor the text files, so he would not be making them available for anyone. Fortunatally enough for those of us who are interested, he has left them wide open in a standard zip file on his server.

WTF? He says he doesn't want them available for anyone, but since someone happened to find them you're going to ignore his request and just take them? At least someone set up a mirror in a post so you're not stealing his bandwidth as well. I can't believe this got posted, it's so wrong.

So is this going to continue down this slope until all the posts are just ftp spots to steal the latest wares? After reading the comments on the Apple music service yesterday, it's obvious a large portion of slashdot readers feel its within their right to take anything they happen to find.
