Putting something on a public server IS releasing it by definition. Having a readable directory on ANY machine on the net is no different that putting a magazine on a shelf in a public place. You might not mean or want it released, but if you make it possible for someone to grab it, you have no right to complain when they do.

So every time (with il-2) this happens, they throw the thing on some server, then someone in a forum they also own finds it and posts the link, and they have a hissy fit. They could have saved the trouble by simply typing "chmod 700 patch.exe", but I gather that was too much trouble.

This isn't even a security issue since by definition, if the owner published something in an insecure way, it's not the end user's fault if they go out and get it, that's the point of publishing publically.

I disagree

Some days ago I was in Vienna and I could notice a detail I remembered well from my first visit already 15 years ago: The newspapers are on shelves near boxes where you put the money. People pick freely their newspaper and put the coin in the box, and NOBODY controls that. Yet it seems to have worked for at least the 15 years I remembered. Why? Education. Principles. Sure, UBI could have been more careful, but it's the IDIOTS with lack of education and principles that go around trying to find leaks who ruin the scene for the majority of educated and responsable ones.
