Illegal BVE download? take a look...

[AusRail8040]

Hello all,
Today I came across a site which is distributing the bve program, and mackoy's own keisei route and train.
The site does have links to mackoy's main BVE site for the individual downloads..BUT has a link below it for a "convenient" 3 file download (BVE.exe, route, Train)..which to my knowledge is very wrong...
Have a look!----> http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f1258.html

cheers

I looks like its illegal to me, and I know Mackoy really doesn't like it when that happens.

They do provide links to Mackoys site - it looks like the all in one download is hosted as a convenience to their users. Perhaps a friendly email to the webmaster pointing out that Mackoy does not permit BVE to be hosted elsewhere would be a good idea.

I know I'm not Mackoy, but if I was, I would just let that site continue hosting the download. They're not hotlinking anything on the BVE site, they're linking back to the BVE site and they've given a positive review and a "recommended download" for the game.

Anyway, I'm sure the site owner just didn't realise
