I'd suggest that we give Michael Ost a break and remove the post.
How many of us have hit the 'send' button, only to regret it later?
As many avid readers know, this is a pretty small and esoteric community, and there is
very little danger that anyone outside of this community will ever read the post (public
or not) including me. I am so confident that so little we write will be read that I
intend to pull an April Fool's joke on a couple hundred musicians without even
worrying about the danger of them reading the archives and getting the outline of the
joke.
We all know that NDAs are the equivalent of the Japanese card exchange ceremony (only
Americans are so caught up in lawsuits that an NDA replaces the business cards). Why a
company would not want to get free publicity is beyond me, it's pretty hard to come
by. They must be playing the 'secret' game to enhance the value of their
completely indecipherable message.
I guess you've inspired me to devote the necessary cycles and go ahead and play the
April Fool's joke.
-Mike Mazarick
PS - If Michael Ost wanted to post the NDA after removing the identifiable company names,
we could probably all use a good NDA, if nothing else but to have our own 'card'
to pull out to let folks know we are 'players' that have to be taken seriously.

Hello all,
Given the nature of this discussion, I am CCing the linux-audio-user
mailing list since this is about deleting legitimate content from the
archives because of a company that produces some of those shitty
software
locks. I'm not gonna go easy on this.
First of all, let me remind you, and every linux-audio-user member out
there that the archives *ARE PUBLIC*, and thus what you post here will
be
eventually readable by the *WHOLE WORLD*.
Read this again: the archives *ARE PUBLIC*, and thus what you post here
will be eventually readable by the *WHOLE WORLD*
Once more just to make sure: the archives *ARE PUBLIC*, and thus what
you
post here will be eventually readable by the *WHOLE WORLD*
Deleting the post is not going to happen, I am only willing to censor
the
one post that poses an issue provided the name of the company is
mentioned
on a censor banner inside the post. The least we can do with such a
case is
add a little public humiliation to this.
Also I would like to say that this is the one and only time that this
happens. Next time, the original poster will face the legal
consequences. I
hope this is crystal clear to every one reading.
Just to make sure we are talking about the right post, is it this one ?
[Let's give Michael Ost a break]
I will not even read a reply that does not include the linux-audio-user
list in CC.
Cheers,
