What we have here is a trend that will sooner, rather than later, force people to pay money to download FREE files. Period. Unless people make a stand and say "I refuse", that's our future. And you won't be able to blame me. I had a mod on planetunreal. Just to piss them off we put exlusives on unreality.dk. I have refused to use gamespy or fileplanet since fp required signin. I guess i'll sink with my ideals, but i'll have a clean conscience.

I'll sink with you! But i use the free one when i feel like it just to cost them some more $..
