Okay so I've got a new policy regarding the distribution of any theme music...for any show.
It's not happening again. Don't even bother sending me requests anymore because I will ignore it. Trust issues have come into play one time too many.
Here's the background information for those of you who don't know. Back in the summer, I started a thread and poll in the password protected section of the site about which of 5 different Millionaire theme libraries people would like the most. Original, 2008 (clock), and 2010 revival won. I then had everyone that wanted to request a package PM me and write a whole thing as to why they wanted the music, which music sets they wanted, and what they planned on doing with the music. If I felt someone was worthy of receiving a package (or two or all three) I would reply with the link and a little blurb about how the music was for their personal listening use and their personal listening use ONLY. I also made that very clear in every post I made in the password protected section about it. The music was not to be distributed to ANYONE for any reason WHATSOEVER.
Today I receive a PM from a member here who has found the music on another site. With almost 100% of the exact titles I came up with and made MYSELF.
Here's what I know for sure: 1. I did not send this site the music so they should not have it. 2. Nobody ever even asked me if they could send the music to this site. 3. This is not over. I'm actively investigating the situation and I WILL find out who sent the music to this site. 4. If the person responsible for this comes forward, the penalty will be MUCH less-harsh than it will be if I have to find out on my own through my own investigation. We're talking a possible long-term to permanent ban from this site. 5. The website this was sent to is a very widely-visited site and so the integrity of the music is at risk.
In closing, I have one more thing to say. Let me reiterate. If you are responsible for this and you come forward, the penalty you will receive will be MUCH easier than if I find out by myself. I work fast so I suggest you come forward now. I don't expect you to post publicly and embarrass yourself in front of the entire community, just PM me and let me know. Also, if you have any information regarding this, please PM me. Please do not post sensitive information in this thread or elsewhere throughout the site. Please do not make me lock this thread.
Thank you, FinalAnswer19

I can't believe this! First Mech's graphics, now this. I still remember when that Zodiak Corporation guy was making a fuss about trust issues on this forum. Apparently, they are justified. The thing is, after that thing with Mech happened, the password was changed and Regisfan himself checked whether everyone applying for the new password was trustworthy. What else can be done to make sure that only people who are 100% reliable get the password? This whole thing is so frustrating! Well, if you need any help with your investigation, I'd be happy to assist in any way I can. I really hope you find the person who did this or, even better, they confess themselves.

I can't believe this! This is pretty embarrassing for me, since I had "proven" Zodiak Corporation/Michael Segade (the member) "wrong" that the password-protected website is secure. Well, actually, I can say that the password-protected part of the website is secure, but I guess that it's really the member(s) that are not trustworthy that have access to it that makes it "unsecure". I personally don't know who did this, but I hope that FinalAnswer19 finds out who did this. The consequences are necessary for who did this; if they weren't, there would be no point of the password-protected part of this website.

Are you serious? The fact that we can't trust anybody on this website is just disappointing!

This is absolutely disgusting, its a shame how somebody can ruin it for everybody else by making the fatal mistake of distributing the music elsewhere when it was set in stone to not give it to anyone or any site, and it was for personal listening use. I was about to request these music packages for my own personal use because the ambiances used in the songs were perfect for my study time and ever since my hard drive crashed on me months ago, I have barely anything left so its a shame how I was too late for this offer in how I could've regenerated the Millionaire library I once owned. I sincerely hope whoever done this, Finalanswer19 will either hunt them down and punish them severely, or they will come forward and FA19 will deliver a "less-harsh" punishment. This is why we can't have nice things, there's always that untrustworthy person who somehow manages to get by and ruin it for everybody else. Pardon my rant but this situation is just vile.

Not to mention, think of poor FA19 himself. He was being a very nice guy by letting a select few of us own these rare cues because we're such big fans of the Millionaire show in general and we get pleasure in listening to them. Then someone who acts trustworthy gets these cues from him and then they commit such an evil act by betraying him and even all of us by uploading these for the entire world to download, yet we had to show our honesty by auditioning for the fangames section, and then also showing we were honest enough to be allowed to own these clips.
FA19, I'm very sorry this happened to you. Even though myself and even probably everyone who has posted in this thread isn't responsible for this heinous act, I think it's safe for me to say that we all feel terrible about this and while you're not distributing cues anymore, that you can at least trust us as members and friends. Trust is a very sacred thing and it seems that someone has decided to breach our trust to get their hands on something rare like this and then decided that the whole world deserved these clips, and possibly claim all the glory because it was 'him/her' who 'found' these clips.
Whoever did this I wish would just come forward and confess. The longer this goes on, the longer it'll seem like any one of us could be guilty of the crime and I don't want to see this wonderful community come down because of one individual. However, I have a feeling that whoever did this isn't a true regular and basically disregarded the rules that came associated with these cues. I also believe that it's probably someone who wanted these cues for a long time and just came long enough to obtain them and then post them in public so nobody else had to 'earn' these cues and they could just get them at will.

I cannot even describe how disappointed I am that something like this could happen. It's so unfortunate that one individual had to go and ruin the entire Millionaire music distribution scene for everyone, especially when you consider the fact that the individual in question is likely viewed as a trustworthy member of the boards. The password system can prevent strangers from getting our files, but no security system can prevent our own friends from violating our trust. And it's such a shame that things like this happen, because the community at large really is very trustworthy and dependable. There's always one person who has to go and spoil everyone else's fun.
It goes without saying that I will be supporting FinalAnswer19 in his investigation, and I won't be going easy on anyone found guilty of distributing this music.

I couldn't agree with !Tommy any more. This is a situation that has absolutely infuriated me and to see how the situation has gone from graphic thieves to now music thieves/re-distributors has put me in a state of total enragement. Whoever's done this will surely face the harsh or less-harsh consequences that will be carried out by Finalanswer19. I feel very sorry for him, it was very generous of him to offer such rare cues and having that one person who was heinous enough to betray the rules and post the cues elsewhere. I would've loved those cues for my own personal listening, unfortunately that can't be done anymore, our biggest priority is to hunt down the one responsible and I surely will offer any help if needed to track down the re-distributor.

Thank you! One thing I do want to say, I'm very pleased to see the way this thread is going. You guys are outraged. Not because FA19 won't be distributing music anymore, but because this happened to him and our community in the first place. That shows how mature everyone is and it's very refreshing. The typical community would be all mad because their source of material has been cut off. Not you guys though. You're all supporting FA19 and I'm very happy to be a part of such a tight-knit community who supports each other. Sure, we're all disappointed because of the consequences of one individual that spoiled it all, but you're putting FA19 first before your own desires i.e. retrieving his special music cues.

WOW. I'm in just so dissapointed and in terrible shock about all of this. Again, like you all said, that was so generous for FinalAnswer19 to distribute to music to us. But like everyone here, it's makes me so disgusted when a one member proves is UNTRUSTWORTHY and re-distrubutes the music. It's hurts when one member ruins it all for everybody. When you need me to FinalAnswer19, i'll try my best to hunt down this burglar cause I really fell terrible for you FinalAnswer19.
