I'd rather want to stay out of any piracy discussions, but the questions that
rise in my head are:


            1  - WHO was able to put the FULL VERSION of WOLFENSTEIN 3D for
                 the GS on internet? It HAS the Vitesse screen during the
                 intro.
            2  - WHO was able to distribute the source code for Lemmings and
                 or Convert 3200? I thought that only Brutal DeLuxe, and
                 eventually Joe would have access to the source code.
            3  - WHO put Richard Bennet's never released game DIAMONDS GS
                 on internet?


For point 1: Vitesse claims to have nothing to do with W3D anymore, but who
says they haven't kept a copy?
For point 2: nothing to add
For point 3 (and also 1): are there disloyal beta-testers?


This really looks weird and confusing. To me it certainly is, and I don't know
what to think.  No-one is going to tell me that someone broke into Joe's,
Bill's, Vitesse's or BdL's house, and steal a copy, I hope ?!?!?
