well in FF6s defense its basically like you having a party and someone asking to come in and use the phone. You go to the bathroom and the next thing you know not only are they using your phone but they've got your beer and pizza, and on top of that you can hear someone on the other end speakin' japanese and you ask who it is, and they are like, oh its my gf in tokyo. And then the next day your wallets missing and you go to talk to them and they are like I don't know what your talkin' about, and you can see it on their coffee table. And then their like, oh that's your wallet, my bad.
Seriously I wouldn't have a problem with it, but that doesn't mean he won't, if the man said don't touch it, then don't touch it...its just a respect thing...now hurry up and put it on there so I can check it out..

The primary difference being that beer, pizza, and phone calls are limited resources, u when the party crasher takes them from you, you cannot use them. Unless FF6 was planning to sell this stuff later, than people downloading his stuff does not deny him that type of resource.

What FF6 seems to be upset about to me is the loss of 1) creative control, and 2) due credit for his works.

I do feel like I've wasted my time. However, I'm looking into making them accessible again. Just not entirely sure how I intend to do it yet.

This could be solved by posting his stuff in the future as watermarked pdf's. A watermark of other note in the pdf would keep his name attached to it, and also make it more difficult to edit his work.

FF6, would this be something you would consider as a compromise? Regardless of the internet community you post on, if you post something good, people are going to want to show their friends.
