The kind of cheese I like doesn't come in a box - it comes in odd shaped packages that were cut from cheese wheels. Usually imported from England....and there you have it, foxes are cheese snobs [though we'll eat most kinds of cheese, really.]

government cheese mmmmmmmmm Not sure what it is made of exactly but it sure is good for Mac and Cheese, and spam and cheese sandwiches. When spam was lunch meat not Internet junk mail . Now I am living here I can buy real cheese and lunch meat not made from road kill but it doesn't have the same comfort :{

I like my cheese french and creamy. On a cracker, heated up, deep fried, I'm easy. (OMG, that sounds dirty)

To derail from the box topic a bit- i was just wondering if anyone had ever submitted a report of TSR's shoddy "business" practices to a site like ripoffreport.com? I searched but didn't find it and was curious. It *could* be a good way to spread the word further... Good idea or totally off the mark?

Anything to get the word out further is never off the mark! I'm sure the people who had their info shared would have to be the one to make a complaint. I'm sure any of the tsr subs could report the trojans in their bought files. That in itself is messed up and warrants reporting.
I do not know what has been done besides the word getting out about their criminal practices. And because I am not 'personally' victimized by their junk I can't do anything other than spread the word.

If someone can prove that TSR attaches spyware to their files, couldn't they press charges? EA got in trouble with SuckUROM, and that's a parallel situation.

All the proof any one needs would be right here if they wanted it. Who knows more about the watermark than the booty staff. There are screenshots and examples of hate mail everywhere and in abundance.

Did any of the victims of the shared information ever contact paypal? I'd think that would get more immediate attention than anything else.

I find the fact that TSR has done so much and there is evidence available and nothing has happened to them mind boggling.

This is either because a) people are lazy, b) people don't know, or c) people don't care. I wish someone would sue the idiots already... they deserve it.

And so, for, what, maybe 40 bucks, TSR again alienates not only a long-time subscriber but hundreds of others who might have considered subscribing but won't because they got to read Coconut's exposé. Classic. Maybe Thomas & Co. ought to invest some of their profits in a good PR/Marketing consultant. They could swing it if they cut out the upstairs maid and gave the chauffeur an extra night off. Ah, the simple life.

I think it is great that now people have a place to vent about TSR and are actually using it. I know that Coconut asked people to send them any evidence they had about TSR's bad practices but there was a part of me that believed that most of those things would come from us. Something about the fact that this subscriber got burned and went straight to Coconut with the evidence makes me hopeful. If more will do that then TSR can't keep saying that we mean pirates are just making all this up and manipulating truths. (well they can and I'm sure will but...) It makes me feel as though people are actually listening. You know, it's hard to actually gauge the community sometimes if we spend our time mostly frequenting anti-paysite forums so this type of post brings me hope that we are actually reaching more of the general community.
