Mr White.
The 'free torrent' you refer to is not somehting you would just happen to stumble across without actually searching for it. So why look for somehting then complain when you find it?
Are you one of those sad muppets who watches a film all the way through which contains sex and violence............and then complains to watchdog afterwards?
If you dont want to pay then download the torrent ! ?If you do want to pay just pay and shut up !
The database is not compiled by individuals. Its compiled using information that is readliy availalable from the DTTI and is htere to slow popel down hopefully. So its not liekly that they are going to stop doing it. And if they were that strapped for cash they would be charging more than £2. |

His copy will probably be full or viruses.
And careful with the car nej, if £2 is too much for him to pay for the Camera Database, what chance is there of his car being Taxed, Insured and MOT'd? I mean, if he can get it free, why not? |
One more thing I just need to comment on this idiots posting, I drive a 02 BMW M3 what do you drive??? And yes it is insured and taxed. And as for viruses if you knew anything about computers you would know that it would be impossible to get a virus on this file type. |
Mr White you are a complete muppet ! I dont really need to say anything else. I thiunk your post (above) lets us know enough about you to make up our !
A BMW driver ? An expert on virus's?
You know  mate, other than how to sound like a complete !  |

The only rip off appears to be from you. A first time poster that has never contributed to this database at all and yet expects to get the fruits of the hard work of others free and blames everybody else when he can't 8O
If you want it free it is quite simple - CONTRIBUTE. All you have to do is report ONE new camera and its yours free for ever. I don't call that a rip off at all.
Boy do I feel better now I have got that off my chest :D

I think this thread has reached the end of it's useful life. Any further posts are just going to round and round the same old arguments.
Can one of the mods please lock it? Reading the idiotic posts of the "why should we pay" brigade are doing no good for my blood pressure. |
