Head Tracking with Cliffs of Dover

Craps. The “infringement” argument is pure fallacy. There is no copyright infringement. Freetrack can use the TrackIR interface because it falls under the “Fair Use” clause of the Copyright Act. The usage is "non-commercial". It is that simple.

P.S. I wasn’t here.

I suppose you support the new world order as well. Really, what a stretch. LOL.

@ Blaster...

The New Secular Order? get your little dictionary out and look up the test, perhaps?

@ Lobi...

You've been shown many times reasons for why not, and you've also never explained "the what".
Have you made a presentation to any developers yet?

Per the little book, the “3-point test” you mention is not a part of the U.S. Copyright Act. You are welcome to point to an instance where the WTO ruled that section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act was deemed invalid by this WTO “3-point test” and the U.S. government, ignoring its own laws on the books, actually enforced such a decision by the WTO within U.S. borders. I think you will be googling a very long time. By the time you find it, we will all be a part of the New World Order and Natural Point corporate headquarters will be re-located to the North Pole with Santa Claus and his Elves.

I suppose it would have to be the north pole, considering you've taken all the space at the bottom of the garden.

what is sect: 107? its more than just the first paragraph

It is the "Fair Use" clause of the Act. The Act is old. Though, even with the implementation of the Digital Rights Acts, it still applies.

Anyway, I don't see dollar bills coming out of my computer everytime I use Freetrack software. There is no commercial benefit to anyone. The FT website is still up. The FT software, still freely available. It has to be this way because NP simply does not have a case in U.S. courts. Everyone is sue happy in the U.S., so they would do it if they could I think. And NP is in Oregon, so U.S. copyright laws apply.
