Just out of curiosity... why wouldn't someone be allowed to share their forum's data with someone else? If I were using a Microsoft Access database, and wanted to send the data contained within it to someone else, I would not be breaking any laws... so, sharing DATA for whatever reason, should not, in my eyes be a problem...
Now, if I (or anyone else) were trying to reverse engineer the code that some commercial product uses... that would be different...
So, I guess I just don't understand your point... []/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/]
