And how big was your responsability on your production? Can you be sued
or have any liability if your short was a failure? Can your local
CableTV channel sue you if you refuse to work on a sequel?
This is not about the complain. Is about the bad atitude from some guys
who make demands on a service he gets for free (as in beer).

Into the general public, maybe.
But in a community (as I see this list), not. Be harsh with your
team-mates everytime something goes wrong and see it by yourself.

We are not talking about Free Software, but about the right way to
complain about viruses on a free (as in beer) service as this list.
I have the freedom to go where I want, but I can't take a bus for free.
If a bus-driver offers me a free ride after work, I must be gratefull by
the ride, and not angry if the guy don't leave me at my house's door!
