The consumer WILL NOT end up paying for this in the next sim from Sierra
because
ISW owns the rights and thats why you cant find it anymore!
Personally I'm glad that the Canadian posted the INDY track info! More
power to him
if it doesnt reflect the royalties of Papy/Sierra!! I think Tony
George(owner of IMS)
can set himself on ***ING fire and I'll hand him the match and bring
the "dogs"!!!
I would hope he doesnt recieve any royalties of that software in the
first place!
The greedy idiot destroyed a lifelong tradition of professional CART
racing for generations
that came and will NEVER come again! Because of his own personal greed
only a handful of
noted and respected INDY drivers were among a bunch of hasbeen racers
and rookies!
He practically wrote the death wish for one very talented driver(who I
will not name)
because of his promotion of higher boost levels!! So *** IMS!!! I wish
Tony's
mother were still alive to smack the SHIT out of him for his childish
and selfish actions!!!
"Rookies and Hasbeens start your engines!"
And MORE have posted that its NOT available! So I will agree with the
majority on this one?

Hi,
I was just wondering why people are all of a sudden posting the
indy track? Isn't this illegial or is the promission form Sierra to
do this?
Just curious,

I'm pretty sure it is still illegal to distribute the Indy track, but
apparently the people posting it couldn't care less about the legality
of their actions.

fancy word of no meaning. Hope they will be enlightened the hard
way.
If people are going to distribute pirated software openly on
non-alt newsgroups, service providers might well be forced to
stop the newsfeed. Welcome ignorance and goodbye r.a.s.

when it was readily available? That's what I did.
Hey, just what that heck do you think you're doing? You should know a
Usenet newsgroup is no place for logical thinking =)

AFAIK it has nothing to do with Sierra/Papy. IMS hold the
copyright/trademark on the IMS name and licence the reproduction of the
track in whatever form. The licence deal with Papy ran out so Papy no
longer have the right to sell it.
IMS have the right to control the distribution of their trademarks &
property. If you don't like it, complain to them. But theft is still
theft, however you try to rationalise it.
Others have posted that the pack is available from the IMS Museum. If so,
it is still available.

Tony George may or may not be the world's prize prat but that still isn't
a rationalisation for what is still theft.

rely on there parents to buy it for them.

It _is_ a problem getting hold of discontinued software, just as it is
getting hold of out of print books, CDs, etc. But that doesn't suddenly
make it OK to start ripping off those who own the copyright. No one is
forced to sell stuff and no one has any god given right to be able to get
hold of anything that belongs to someone else.
