- From what I understand the Giorgio wasn't aware of the behaviour of
CasaleMedia. I would like to think once he has seen sufficient evidence to
hold up the claims about them he will take action that we all consider
appropriate.

IMO removing the software due to Giorgio using their adverts in these
circumstances is a bit knee-jerk. I'm sure we'll see in the coming days :-)
