Topic: Tascona Doesn't Respect Intellectual Property
Reply to Topic
The mayoral campaign website of former MPP Joe Tascona uses code taken from another website and stripped of the it's copyright message. The code, which is responsible for the photo slide show on Tascona's website, can be seen here:

The code including the copyright message can be seen here:

Here is the copyright message:
// (C) 2000 www.CodeLifter.com
// http://www.codelifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header
// NS4-6,IE4-6
// Fade effect only in IE; degrades gracefully
As you can see, although the code is offered for free, the copyright holder asks that the above message not be removed.
If Joe Tascona wants to show that he respects the intellectual property of others, he should restore the copyright message or remove the code.
