read what he did here
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/04/d ... ho-fi.html

for every technology that's listed that does not belong to Creative, he's costing Creative money. Creative has to pay a licensing fee on every product they ship with other company's features installed.

fun and games for unlocking Creative's own stuff, that's hilarious, but when he's messing with third party IP (intellectual property), that's where there's an issue.

besides, Creative has said they'll let him continue, just not with anything that will cost them money. they've even approved of him taking donations.

anyway, Creative products suck, Timur will swear by them though.

It seems like they´re boycotting Daniel_K on purpose because they want the drivers not to work with vista so the customers of their old gear are forced to buy new stuff. This is unethical and is leading to a boycott of the customers towards creative.

did you even read the article? they've said it's cool for him to keep doing it and it's cool with them if he takes donations.

I didn´t read the article before I posted, I just read some of the forum talk, and meanwhile you posted the article. Well, I withdraw my statement (but maybe its still true ;) ).
