Hi Sheldon,

Isn't it interesting what can happen when an ecommerce site isn't living up 
to people's expectations?

I assume that syndicomm is being run on a best effort basis.

Downloadable - Price $80.00 USD

http://store.16sector.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=203

1. The syndicomm website is still accepting money.
2. Mike Westerfield is still actively developing Software. He replied to one 
of my posts on the FaceBook group a couple of months or so back about Orca 
C.
3. Tony Diaz is also on the FaceBook group and confirmed recently that he is 
still selling Opus ][.

Not only is it possible to pay for it and download it; it is probably 
expected by Mike and Tony both.

As far as this torrent of Opus ][ goes; is it even possible to remove the 
torrent now that it has been seeded by the OP? Removing the link from csa2 
is not practically possible as far as I know either.

But then I could be wrong; perhaps it is possible to remove the usenet posts 
from every server in the world that carries the feed and/or stop the 
propagations of the torrent.

Fair Dealing in Canada for personal use only provides for private copying in 
the absence of a substantial adverse effect on the exploitation of the 
original work; the rights holder (Mike Westerfield or APDA, etc) has the 
exclusive right of reproduction, the right to rent the software, the right 
to restrain others from renting the software and the right to assign or 
license the copyright to others. Exceptions to these rights are set out by 
the terms of Fair Dealing, these exempt users from copyright liability 
covering usage and reproduction when performed for research, private study, 
education, parody or satire.

"Fair Use"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

In the US, Fair use is a defense to an allegation of copyright infringement 
under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976. To justify the use as fair, 
one must demonstrate how it either advances knowledge or the progress of the 
arts through the addition of something new.
Fair Use measures the effect that the allegedly infringing use has had on 
the copyright owner's ability to exploit his or her original work. The court 
not only investigates whether the defendant's specific use of the work has 
significantly harmed the copyright owner's market, but also whether such 
uses in general, if widespread, would harm the potential market of the 
original. The burden of proof here rests on the copyright owner, who must 
demonstrate the impact of the infringement on commercial use of the work

Courts consider whether the use in question acts as a direct market 
substitute for the original work.
