Adaptec is gonna win this if for no other reason than they have many precedent court decisions to back them up.
ProCooling could be taken down because of this if Joe doesn't take some action, so all the chesting pounding that's been happening in this thread is just hurting the site.
IMHO, nobody should be distributing copyrighted software in any form unless they have permission to do so from the copyright holder. In this case, rami evidently doesn't have such permission. If he wishes to persist in this endeavor, he should do so privately through email or IM. However, it would be wise for rami to just desist as requested because Adaptec will try to entrap him at some point if they think he's still sharing their software.
I know it's not a pretty picture, and it's a damn bitter pill to swallow, but the simple fact is that it's the best course of action.
There are better (legal) ways to get even with Adaptec if you feel the need.
