...anyone see this yet?

Basically, David_k guy develops drivers for free, and then asks for donations (not mandatory). Creative shuts him down for IP violation...

I mean, jesus fucking Christ. This guy makes free drivers that are better than the original ones, and they go shut him down? Least they could do is pay him off or some shit, but the way they handled this.. hilarious.

By enabling our technology and IP to run on sound cards for which it was not originally offered or intended, you are in effect, stealing our goods.

Sounds fair to me. I hate Creative as much as all of you (if not more), but it does seem fair.

This sounds fair. What Creative does is not fair.

Creative have been pitiful for too long. They should be sued along with nvidia for their crappy vista drivers (that random nvlddmkm shit still around, mostly in directx 10, after more than a year).

edit: btw "NVIDIA drivers were identified as the cause of over 479,000 crashes, or just under 29 percent of all the crashes Microsoft logged [for Vista]."

I'm so happy I bought an Auzentech X-Meridian instead of a creative card.
