Someone is f* ridiculous thinking that because something's free to one situation it has 0% value and therefor pirates can publish it on their site, or others can get it despite not having a license, or distribute it on web sites without author permission.
A usage license is granted to those with a valid XenForo license, and distribution is prohibited ::: Unless specifically noted otherwise.
If people can't understand the basics of that they should not be an admin on any community, let alone be on the Internet.
Okay, so your point is your afraid that people without licenses will publish the content on pirate websites without author permission. My argument would be that a licensed member is just as, if not more, capable of doing that. However, legitimate customers are coming to this site and getting stifled by the permissions system in the addon section of the forum, if you want more sales and traffic (Addons and XenForo itself), I would recommend pulling that curtain down.
Also, don't talk to me about digital content value. I run a business based on digital products, as soon as you can match my *paying* customer base of 10,000 you can start talking to me like that.
Sounds nice doesn't it? Lets see how many pirate websites I can find that violate "usage licenses". I would bet money it's in the hundreds. Your not being realistic when you try to play by those rules, because pirates just dont care.
Your absolutely right, I should take my business elsewhere. Let me know what addons you've written so I can be sure to never use them.
Certainly a valid option for anybody. Of course.It would help none license holders with regards to demo images if members here started using photobucket or some such for image hosting and then use the img bbcode, no license required to view demo images then, worth a go right!
Is that still the case in 1.1 ?I know half the problem is that permissions don't work based on (attachment type). If they did it would make things very different allowing them to let guests view images, but not download zip/rar files e.t.c.
Got it, I'll be sure to do that. Me, and anyone else who is looking at XenForo but hasn't purchased yet. Basically any future customers. Thanks for letting us all know which addon developer NOT to deal with right out of the gate.Any add-on I've created starts with "XenFans.com", feel free to never use any of them. It's meant for those who want to use them, and are licensed.
Perfectly fine by me, you can have your opinion, I gladly had mine and pulled my resources from this site.Got it, I'll be sure to do that.

Back on topic, was the media manager ever built? Did this get resolved?
"I gladly had mine and pulled my resources from this site" - That was probably for the best. Congrats on putting your money where your mouth is.
Looks like they did in fact create the resource manager! Sweet, browsing now to see if anything matches an upcoming project I have. Thanks dev folks.
