ASF Recorder

Okay, so it seems there really are people with 1MBit/sec internet connections that can watch streaming video without hiccups. However, my connection is too slow. Hence I need to record it and play it when done.

Trigger-happy ISPs

Dear ISP, before pulling my site for some alleged wrongdoings, read this:

Please do not remove this page because of any _potential_ trouble with Microsoft or content providers. I can understand when you react as soon as you are contacted by these companies, threatened with legal action. But don't remove this content by "obedience in advance", as this would be sort of cowardish.

In certain European countries, for example, there are no patents on Software and file formats, like in the US. Therefore it is not possible that Microsoft could claim a violation of their patents in these countries.

This program is neither based on secret or undisclosed Microsoft information, nor on the US-Patent of ASF. For understanding the streaming protocol it only took some few hours of "concentrated examination" of the data stream.

Mirrors and support needed

I need people to spread this program quickly. I need people who want to support this program and set up download pages similar to this. If you don't want to spread the program, then please spread the word.

Why that? Well, I am sure that some companies will try to stop distribution of this program because they don't like it. And that's why this program needs all the third-party support it can get.

When redistributing this program, please don't remove the source code. Please don't infect the distribution archive with viruses. And please don't claim that you or your "c00l eLiTe HaCkEr GrOuP" has written this program. Thank you.

Legal Issues

(excerpt from README.TXT)

Q: So is it legal to download and distribute this tool?

A: Yes. This  is a very simple tool using a very simple internet protocol. It
   does  NOT  break any encryption or authentification procedure.  So I don't
   see any point why this program could be illegal. Download, copy and spread
   as you like, THIS PROGRAM AND ITS SOURCE CODE IS LEGAL.
