[QUOTE="PiN WiZ, post: 7060, member: 31"] You're right, it's not the entire VP/FP community that refuses to support those who have allowed them to use their copyrighted material for community use, but there seems to be more people in the VP/FP community bashing what FarSight is trying to do than supporting them. Also, I have no problem with anyone not wanting to support FarSight if they are not getting what they want from the product, but I do have a problem with people saying why should they pay for something they're getting for free. Last, but certainly not least, my problem with the copyright issues is that over the many years I've been a part of the VP/FP community, I've heard them say that if they were able to, they would gladly support license holders if a product was ever released where they could do so. Now that the time has come, many people in the VP/FP community are just content with playing the tables for free rather than throwing their support behind a properly licensed product. You see, I think most people in the VP/FP community never thought in their wildest dreams that any developer would go after and pay the rights to reproduce any of the heavily licensed tables, but now that it's happening before their very eyes, many of them are worried about the possibility of not getting to play pinball for free which is why many of them refuse to support a project like this because they don't want to see FarSight succeed in their efforts.
