I know the issue with Hayley has more or less blown over but after learning some things about the situation I realized that Hayley being branded as some "demented psychopath" after Cheetah's files, made me realize that there is obviously more to this than just Cheetah's side of the story. I've talked to a few people about it and most agree that this whole thing was blown totally out of control. You know that during the CK Hiatus, Hayley's email address and name were posted for the world to see on the Cheetah Kennelz website. Hayley proceeded to receive hate mail, threats to upload viruses to her computer and even death threats. Um correct me if I'm wrong but that qualifies under "threatening a person's personal safety." That my friends is illegal. For some reason that was overlooked. I can see why seeing as how if Hayley's parents had seen any of this, they would have wonderful grounds for a huge law suit and rightfully so. No matter what that kid did to anyone it did NOT justify breaking the law. I've spoken with Hayley myself and encouraged her to go to her parents about this so that proper action could be taken but of course, she's terrified. I've been talking to her for sometime and I hope to eventually change her mind about that.
As far as the petz files goes, I don't know how many of you saw the message board on the Petz Auction site about copyrights? Ubi Soft has and always will have LEGAL copyrights to any any original breedfiles and pet files that came from the game. The files don't even legally belong to us, they belong to Ubi Soft. Hayley didn't legally steal anything. The files belonged to her game which she owns a copy of. Granted I realize a lot of hexers put a lot of hard work into these pet files and breedfiles hexing them to make them original but still the original file DOES belong to Ubi Soft. Ubi Soft has the last say on the matter.
Lastly, before any of the moderators think about deleting this post, please remember I'm telling the truth here. This may not be something some of you want to see but it is indeed the truth. The actions of posting Hayley's personal info on a website caused Hayley's personal safety to be threatened. Unfortunately, I have tried to tell the truth on this matter in the past and have been accused of "harassing" Cheetah in an attempt to try to keep others from learning the truth. Hmm, compared to whats been done to Hayley I think thats a mild argument at best. No matter what Hayley has done, it did not justify illegal activity. With my peace said, I wish you all Happy Halloween and have a good day.
