I'm not too sure x.x Maybe if you modify them slightly you would be fine now, idk. Omnimaga banner used exactly the same fonts as TI. In fact, if you look at ROL1 the on calc logo is the exact same as the banner one, except plain black

This is sure full of fail, especially the grammar and errors. Just how they missed half of the images tells enough. I guess TI had this written by a random employee or something, using the key factoring DMCA notice and modifying it. It reminds me also when TI continued to send DMCA notices despite the EFF countering them. I wonder if we decided to host the keys if TI wouldn't decide to send another notice to us even if the whole thing was solved half a year ago?

At least I am glad they sent the DMCA directly to me instead of my hosting provider, though. Otherwise, I am afraid of what would have happened...

They should maybe spend more effort in making their Nspire OSes more programmable and open to third party dev and try harder to fix the bugs in the 84+ OSes before releasing them
Or maybe because it was one of the Omnimaga Staff doing that. Or maybe some TI staff read what they write like what they code.

When will you admit is April Fools?
ticalc has a a nice fake news. ;D
EDIT: Maxcoderz use the TI font too and hasn't received any notice. Although there aren't any regular posts there.

Since his notice had the wrong date on it, you can discard it, I think. It is of no legal value. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, so don't take my word for it.

Edit: unless, of course, it's a joke and you fooled us all.

That is true. That notice has no legal ground because the date is wrong and is therefore, inadmissible as evidence.

I guess I could discard it, altough I am afraid of a second DMCA notice with fixed date later and worse, sent to 1and1, then 1and1 thinking we host copyrighted content then suspend our account x.x

I am really liking Nethams banner, i suggest we use it. The only thing it is missing is rainbows and/or rick astley riding a unicorn

Imma do this simple

DMCA and TI, you seem to be retarded. The people here promote the calculators in a way you could never do it yourself. They make them more usefull than you could have ever dreamed of. Get lost!

Normally I don't post in retarded big fonts at forums, but I needed this out.
EDIT; I can't be bothered if you call me a flamer this time
EDIT2; verrry nice banner Netham! I just hope we won't break any Windows Paint Copyrights with this, for using their pixels and lines!
