Mike made the claim that TN1 “stole the scans”, so the onus of proof is on him, and if he doesn’t offer anything more I think the only logical conclusion is that TN1 is not guilty of misappropriating any scans. 😃
To RU.08
I agree, but my main point is, that these discussions about guilt should have taken place before a permanent ban, and not after it. While, it is possible that our esteemed moderators know more than we do, it does appear that TN1 got the short hand of the stick.
Could we resume all this by saying that regardless of the physical film ownership, scan ownership is somehow determined by who paid for it to be done?
Since Person #2 paid for Person#3’s film scan, person #2 assumed it’s was ok to pass it over to -1.
Since Mike paid for Person#2’s film scan, Person#2 did not share it.
I think OT.com shall retract the part about unethical behavior from either -1 or Person#2.
All of this is just an unfortunate misunderstanding of all the party involve IMHO.
