I didn't mean to cause controversy but I'm gonna defend Phil in this instance. I believe Phil position has always been that, and correct me if I'm wrong, he doesn't approve of sharing firmware but if you're gonna ask, at least contribute to the site.
Back to our regular scheduled programming.
Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.
You just rant about it
glad YOUR a sellout
Figures Fake Patriot
Alright I was gonna stay out of it but seriously man. Read the rant again, he makes it pretty clear where his lines are drawn. Second, this isn't in rants and raves so keep your political distaste with him out of it.
And finally, *you're*
Please just drop it here man. This isn't your thread to pick a fight on. You want to bitch at Phil then PM him.

Seems we are having a rash of End-users and Newbies demanding/asking for Copyright files ( software/firmware... manuals ). When being informed of the violations they cop an 'attitude' and get huffy. A few seem to think that info should be available to the general public.
It takes a long time. lots of studying and money to achieve the status of TRAINED TECH. We worked very hard... spent countless hours to gain the knowledge to be able to do our job. It is NOT a quick easy thing to do and personally have some lesser techs " RING THE BELL " and drop out.
Then there are other techs passing out the key strokes to enter service mode and hidden service mode. I know Ricoh has changed the key strokes several time because STUPID techs pass out that info. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE TECHS... -=STOP=- an end-user can brick a machine in a heartbeat if they don't know what the hell they are doing.
IF you want to pass out said files/info TAKE IT TO P.M. WE DON'T NEED/WANT THE WHOLE F'IN WORLD KNOWING THIS CRAP. You are doing more damage than good.
Firmware/manuals ARE COPYRIGHT FILES AND ARE NOT MEANT FOR -=ANYONE=- BUT TRAINED TECHS.
INFORM THEM FOR A SMALL CONTRIBUTION TO CTN THEY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY GET WHAT THEY NEED
ANY user that P.M.'s me is going to get cussed out by me and WILL be put on IGGY.... for life.
Please fellow trained techs, do NOT play into their trap, they COULD be investigators for the copier manufacturing companies and I would HATE to see you lose your tech ID and your dealership lose the ability to EVER sell that product line FOREVER.
Let's do our part to avoid these situations and keep our jobs.
