Exactly - there must be thousands of Pedro's in Barcelona.

Graham,
Just wondering what your reaction would have been if he had said that Graham from NZ has leaked a copyrighted Naum?

The fact is that he did name his customer. Now, IMHO, if someone does not have conclusive proof, do not leak the name to a public forum.
Rather report to the Anti-piracy grop who can do their investigation.

Maybe, it scares Perdo (??) maybe not.
My two cents,

Good point.

If I'd done nothing wrong, I'd be very embarrassed and angry.
If I had done something wrong, I'd be very embarrassed and worried!

However, there would be very few Grahams in Auckland who're into computer chess. In fact I could well be the only one, so your analogy isn't a good one.

Regards, Graham.

How can you be sure?

Well, there are very few Pedro's in spain 'who are into computer chess',

It does disprove your own initial statement, Only Pedro I know is the chess engine author who is not a customer, and there are no other Pedro's in CCC memberlist.

When Pedro is mentioned here,It could be construed as personal attack against the (only) CCC member whose name starts with Pedro.

I'm surprised this thread has not been deleted and it has all elements of charter violation, point number 1,2,3, 4 as well as 5.

well there are some New Zealanders who participate in computer chess, Graham,Ray and Shane the author of Scid etc, but the point is 'Graham' is too common a name.

1. Are, within reason, on the topic of computer chess
2. Are not abusive in nature
3. Do not contain personal and/or libelous attacks on others
4. Are not flagrant commercial exhortations
5. Are not of questionable legal status.

The topic is about computer chess.
There is no abuse or personal attack directed towards a specific CCC member.
It is not a flagrant commercial exhortation.
An engine author reporting a possible case of piracy against a specific member would be of questionable legal status unless there was absolute proof.

You reported the post yesterday and the CCC moderators decided not to delete the thread.

Regards, Graham.

PS - Pedro (DanaSah author) lives in Basque territory. I don't think that he lives in Barcelona. If he construed Alex's post as a personal attack, he certainly hasn't complained.

[Graham Banks]

but the point is 'Graham' is too common a name.

It's not actually. That's part of my point.
Not like a John or Pedro.

Now it would be nice if you gave it a rest.

Regards, Graham.

Hi Graham,

I don't question your moderation, but why I had mentioned it violates the all the points of charter is this.
But I respect your opinion

1.Well This topic seems to be about some customer pirating the software, not really about computer chess.
2 and 3.It is against Pedro,If someone has reported on behalf of Pedro, should not it be deleted?
4.the author is giving the info about who bought his software, who does not and how his software code is unbreakable.
Even advertising the software is commercial exhortation, wouldn't this be considered the same?
5.There was no proof.You did agree with this, and according to you it violates this point alone, so should not it be deleted?

Leave it alone swami, stop supporting the clone boys.

Naum is a computer chess engine and piracy is an issue of concern to genuine computer chess enthusiasts.

2 and 3.It is against Pedro,If someone has reported on behalf of Pedro, should not it be deleted?

It's not against a specific CCC member as you seem to be implying.
Just because a post is reported does not mean it gets automatically deleted.

4.the author is giving the info about who bought his software, who does not and how his software code is unbreakable.
Even advertising the software is commercial exhortation, wouldn't this be considered the same?

No - there is no flagrant commercial exhortation in this thread.

5.There was no proof.You did agree with this, and according to you it violates this point alone, so should not it be deleted?

No, because it's not directed at a fully named person and certainly not at Pedro who posts here. If it was, you would have a case.
