>> Dear friends and colleagues,
>>
>> I am sorry about posting this message to this newsgroup but most
>> of us who

>> mass
>> copyright violation.
>>
>> Please look at this web page (it is in Russian):
>>
>> http://allday.ru/2008/03/24/
>> panoramnye_360nye_fotografii_600_izobrazhenijj.html
>>
>> You will see a few well-known panoramas that contain web site LOGO
>> at the
>> lower right corner. No references to authors, no any links to web
>> sites.
>> More - these panos are represented as (attention!) equirects but
>> not as
>> original MOVs. This is pure reverse engineering and is a very serious
>> copyright violation.
>>
>> More, being registered here (do not do it please, I provide all the
>> information to you) you may find nine links to the file sharing
>> resource:

>> This is 9-part RAR archive that contains more than 600 panoramas
>> which most
>> of us know very well. Also - no links to web sites, no author's
>> information.
>> Nothing!
>>
>> I suppose we have to react somehow, I take this violation seriously.
>>
>> Sorry once again about this offtopic. If you would like to continue
>> discussing this issue let us do it at some other place of your
>> choice.
