I'm happy about --registry-mirror and -ip-masq=false.


I would like to see the following unfounded claim supported:

"Given the designer's history of posting complaints about how he's been screwed out of $500 and then taking them down once he realizes that it might be bad for his reputation ..."


At the time, I didn't bother to take screenshots of the tweets that were later deleted or the blog posts that were removed (since I didn't care enough and the designer had a relatively small audience).

In my heart of hearts, I was hoping the designer was just blowing off steam. I've been in the same situation before, where I think I'm right about a payment and the client disagrees, and it sucks, and I learned from the experience. I certainly didn't expect the designer to still be sore over it six months later, even after he claims he won the court case.


Quite a few people expressed confusion around the strength of emotion with which people were reacting.

One part of the answer is that the software company and the artist that Curebit stole from are both darlings with strong fandoms.

I know I wouldn't have cared if they'd stolen from Oracle Corporation and The Jonas Brothers.
