I'm not about to guess which part of the Act you refer to.
I never said that the patent offices need Mr. Ujihara's help.
Yes, the patent offices determine what is indiscriminate downloading
from their servers.
Mr. Ujihara can determine what he thinks is indiscriminate downloading
when using his software.
Nobody should tell Mr. Ujihara that he must provide his software for
anyone. Mr. Ujihara is not a utility.
If he wants to provide his software, for free, to only left-handed
tennis players that own a 1985 Yugo, that is his decision.
Mr. Ujihara, you should consider charging for the software/service.
Otherwise, people don't respect you or your product. People seem less
demanding of costly services.

RE: FW: A reminder about GetIPDLMr Ujihara,
You better would think about that such an interference might even be
unlawful in many countries (see below for UK).
Computer Misuse Act 1990

Mr. Douglas
Who decides what indiscriminate downloading is ? Mr. Ujihara ? You ?
ONLY the patent offices from which the material is downloaded and NOT
anybody else.
USPTO and other patent offices do not need the help of Mr. Ujihara to
stop
such large-scale downloading. The network people in these patent offices
are
clever enough to read their download logs to find large-scale
downloaders
and stop them.
Sincerely
Michael Engel

It is only fair that Mr. Ujihara can stop indiscrimnate downloading so
that
the rest of us users do not get cut off from downloading patents.
Thank you, Mr. Ujihara.
