David Braben's Legal Threat to the Elite Home Page
On 9/9/99 this site was taken down by the hosting ISP after it was threatened
with legal action by David Braben over an alleged breach of distribution rights
in the Elite files on the site.
(Following which Braben
declared his intention
to offer Elite files from his
Frontier Developments’ web site.
On 11/10/99 Braben made a
public statement (7)
that he did not mind
Elite files being freely available for download.)
On 24/11/99, I reinstated this site complete with the original files.
On 25/11/99 Braben
declared his intention
to "get this one pulled too", objecting
to alleged (but unspecified) libellous content and the
"misleading story of the CIX website".
Later on 25/11/99 this site was blocked without notification.
On 29/11/99, I reinstated this site with Elite files hosted seperately.
There was a file removal attempt in 2005.
