It was taken down a half-hour ago, and Zen has already sent another email.

Don't think Illwinter could be held responsible for a third party's actions. If they could, it would be too easy to sabotage / short sell / extort a company. Illwinter should not advertise, host, or promote any questionable files.

I'm not that afraid of any issues, frankly claiming rights to a map of Europe would be pure BS
In addition the map WAS changed, so to me Zen is the map's rightholder, and if he's OK I'll host it . Those interested can PM or mail me.

Zen is not okay with the idea, and it was he who specifically asked me to break the link on my site. I abide by the wishes of the author.

Ok, case closed. How could I know, Zen erased his Posts ?
I find all of this very stupid, everyone is scared to death as soon as the word "copyright" is pronounced. Another lame US trend

Lame but true; and I believe similar laws are being considered for the EU.

Hey, it's not my fault that the US has more lawyers per capita than any other country. I happen to agree with Shakespeare with regard to lawyers ...
