M. Wloczysiak has just posted an open letter on Elbox site, in which he explains that the Rigid Disk Block trashing code can effectively be found in all their drivers, but it's triggered only if someone tries to crack 'em and, according to him, the malicious code makes no damages, other than the five minutes of work needed to restore the RDSK sector [which] does not seem to be a heavy punishment for stealing and/or cracking software...

so, the rdb trashing stuff did only "disable" your harddrive and you have to
install the drive cyliders/heads and stuff like that if you used cracked software.
Everything on your harddrive is intact....

Well I think the customers will trust CRACKERS more than Elbox. Now you can expect that every single Bit from Elbox will get reverse engineered and such evil Code removed and then spread on Bulletin Board Systems. But who cares anymore, no one will ever give a damn shit about Elbox. No one will buy their Hardware nor their Software, who actually knows what eastereggs we may find afterwards.
Every remaining Amiga lover and user will stand up and fight against the practices of Elbox by simply NOT buying their stuff.

People not using Elbox products are UNDERPRIVELAGED?? Yea, that attitude makes me want to be their customer so that I can be delivered to the promised land... At least the vendors I support don't put known damaging code in their stuff. 5 minutes or not, it's wasted time, and no, I do not trust that their solution is 100% fault-proof. No software is. I imagine that is would be extremely rare for a bug to trigger it, but I don't believe it to be impossible. I don't have any use for USB, hopefully the AmigaOne's built-in ports will eventually get somethng to do on my desk. I don't even use my PC's USB ports.
P96 crew should have put in crack protection against hacked drivers to prevent the illegal use and distribution of their works too. :)

by all accounts and purposes Elbox got busted and they know it.
They removed the offending code, they know they can't get away with such
things again. They will pay the price with some tarnishment of reputation.
Those who spoke ill of elbox before were hardly noticed, now they have
some credibility.
But don't expect Elbox to admit they were wrong, then someone would sue them.
Then the would-be litigant would not have to prove anything, they'd have the admission of guilt in hand. So don't expect admissions of guilt, but for all intents and purposes Elbox has lost, and they know it.
At this point, demanding more, would be like beating a dead horse.

So they clearly admitted to be LIARS and to use criminal code too.
What they do is even more illegal than the actions of
who modifies their software (something that law allows for
personal use, no matter what an EULA says).
I wonder who is going to trust these people anymore
and to give them their money.
It's useless to attack Microsoft and Windows's software
programmers if we accept to have people who behave in the
same way and even think to be on the right side.
Again, they admitted that their software contains code
which makes it ILLEGAL in many countries.
They tried to force censorship over ANN...
They sell software which is illegal in many countries...
They said the false to Amiga community...
Now, someone please post the full story (even their messages
to ANN, where they said that it was all false!) to Slashdot
and similar sites.
It's too incredible to be keep for us. They deserve
to be known in the big IT world ;-)

I sort of agree. However, they've admitted that they had the RDB-thing in their drivers. So, if anyone wanted to sue them (can't imagine who), that would be more likely why, and not because of an apology.
As for now, I don't think we can expect more from Elbox. Too bad, because I think they could have earned more popularity if they were more humble and honest. This last statement was one ugly piece of propaganda in my opinion.

I thought one of the questions was about what happens when one uses two USB-cards, or exchanged their Elbox USB-card for something else before they removed the drivers, or what happens when the driver gets corrupted, etc..

Problem: According to the test that can be done - A memory hit within the memory area of the driver may trigger it. And some amiga applications out there surely hit memory randomly.

Should we sue Dopus or any software that have a delete button ? because only you

But the consensus of the people who examined the code was that it could, in theory, be triggered on a legitimate users system. The fact that it is very unlikely is not the same as "cannot happen". Also, speaking as a legitimate user of Elbox hardware and software, I don't want RDB trashing code on my computer, thank you very much.

No, you just have no right to include code that can malicioulsy impair user's data.
A delete button is clearly intended to delete data ON USER'S DEMAND.
Such code as found in the driver can be compaired to a virus. You can't control it, but it can destroy your data at any time. No code is safe under AmigaOS and any bug (not only in their driver, but in any program) can trigger it.
(Nothing prevents any program to have a trashed pointer and jump into memory just at the right point in the driver's code. Surprise, no more RDB).
And reinstalling the RDBs is not a trivial task for user lambda.

No. Well, very unlikely anyway. You'd just get some "not found" or "unsupported" message or something. Only if you installed an unsupported card and then tried to hack the driver to work with the card would you get the RDB trashed.

So Elbox have at least replied to the claims now. I myself am not too bothered either way about wether the code is there or not or if it'll screw my system. Like most users BEFORE this became public I have been extreamly happy with my Mediator system in my A1200.

Does Elbox's post cover the requirements of Chris Hodges to allow the use of the Poseidon stack with the spider drivers?

Exactly. And sometimes experts trap and fail too. Now think you are a little company having to deal with 1000 Customers. Now for some unknown reasons the RDB get killed by the Hellbox drivers and you lose important stuff.
a) recovering the data COSTS MONEY
b) if the data is permanently LOST then you lose customers and MORE MONEY

That's sad news. Elbox would be better off by simply apologizing. Trying to justify what they did only makes them look worse.
As far as I'm concerned you can never include secret code in any software to cause harm to a computer. The only thing you can do is include secret code that will disable the driver itself by simply making it not work when loaded. I understand that Elbox is trying to protect it's IP and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that they can't do it this way. I think they shot themselves in the foot and it's very unfortunate.

Not at all... if Elbox committed a crime in Italy, then they are subjects to the Italian laws. In other words, cannot sell their SW in Italy, because that sw is illegal, and if they've already sold it, they are subject to be punished in the way the law specifies, that is jail and fine.

I don't think what Elbox did was right, sure it was NOT, but it seems to me that your atitude is not caused by this issue only, you are a bit too much against Elbox... I think it's immoral from users and other PCI-developers to try to benefit from this driver mess or try to damage Elbox more, they already damaged themselves. Atleast Elbox admitted they used that code. Now if it's true they removed that code from ALL of their drivers, and if nothing like that will happen again, then it's okay for me. This issue is not going to make me stop using Mediator. I just hope Elbox did learn something about this.

The usb.device V1.9 and later will work with the next updates, lower revisions will refuse to load.
However, Elbox's post does not cover any apology, no admittance that they've done something utterly wrong.
Instead, they claim that deleting the RDB would be just a minor thing, with HDToolbox being able to recover the RDB right away (yeah, right, if you've got something to boot from). Anyone tried to /only/ recover the RDB without HDToolBox overwriting the partitioning data (PART, FSHD, LSEG blocks)?
Instead, they claim that their protection was SAFE and could never be triggered by accident (which *in my opionion* is false and has been proven by some users here).
Instead, they spill more propaganda of my involvement having to do something with E3B (which it hasn't -- in fact, Michael warned me of getting envolved in this).
Instead, they try to discredit other hardware vendors.
Instead, they say with such an arrogance, that people not buying Elbox products are "underpriviledged", trying to force their opinion on the users, thinking that they're not clever enough to decide for their own.
Therefore, Elbox still has not regained the (moral) right to deliver Poseidon on their CDs; instead the User has to obtain a copy from Aminet or my website.

Regardless of whether it's safe or not, that's NOT a protection. Protections are only defensive devices, by definition, the Elbox's one is instead an _attacking_ device. It purposedly destroyes the user's private data, and that's a _criminal_ act, something that civilized countries punish with _jail_.
They even lied in the latest press release, 'cause they say that the first "cracker" (has they call Qwe), has cracked a "illegally obtained copy" of their product, which is not true, according to Qwe.

Just hope that they will not put more harmful code next release.
There's nothing absolute that says deleting the RDB is not "that important" or a "a 5 minutes game". I may say that deleting your 40GB partition is just a matter or reinstalling last backup so you just lost 2-3 days of work. It's not that much, is it? Or maybe just going to write to your gfx card to turn it of... what's the hassle? just reset the computer as you can't see anything? And lose the 1 hour work you didn't saved? Or the 2 hours download at 95%?
On a multitasking machine interruption of service I not only a matter of losing time as you just need to reset and reinstall the RDB. May be worse.
This makes me thing that Elbox thinks about Amigas as toys. Inrespective of their user work.
If I ever had any idea to buy a Mediator it has suddenly disappeared.
They cannot be trusted. Now and in the future, as they may deny to have hidden any sort of virus (because of viruses we are talking about) in their code though I have the right to do anything with what I buy (but copying and selling anything diretly derived from it).
