I was acting about this both posts.. strange enough no one reacted on the post where someone telling us where to find the fonts in the first place until I pointed it out.
With the line: "At some point you and others have to understand that MobileRead can not and will not post directions of ANY type on bypassing copyright." i feel myself attacked.
This whole forum is talking about how to avoid/undo DRM, it is telling where to find adobe keys, which program to use to get DRM from kepubs,and with patches that alter copyrighted software.
Now someone doesn't provide any link or illegal software and just tell how to find the fonts, and I pointed out to that post and now I am
"one of the guys that has to understand that MobileRead can not and will not post directions of ANY type on bypassing copyright."
It is up to an administrator who can tell if someone placed something against guidelines.
Thats their function.
Sure, it can be more easy done (and legal) to find a similar font.
But it would be nice if an admin tell me the difference between breaking copyright of all those topics where copyrighted material can be altered including the patches to do that, or just a simple message of a person that is telling where you can find a font if you still have the software.
Then the next question pops in if someone asks how the font looks like.
Are you breaking copyright if you show a picture of it ?
Bottom line is, the border between what is legal and not, is thin.
If you think someone crossed it, report it to an admin.
Don't give people names or judge them by calling that they are one of the persons "that MobileRead can not and will not post directions of ANY type on bypassing copyright" because you don't represent it.
Because you make it personal by that,there are other ways to tell me like sending a personal message to me if you THINK I break a rule.
Thats decent.
And also a guideline of this forum : if you think someone is crossing the line,use the report function, dont act like a wannabee admin.
Merry Christmas to all.
(maybe it will be a relief that the method the guy describes to get the fonts will give you an Gothic MB101.otf file that doesn't work at all..but thats beside the point I try to make.)
