It's pretty clearly stated in the FAQs and the Rules that we don't support "warez" or illegal distribution of software.
Claiming that you believe it to be "fair use" doesn't necessarily cover you. I saw what your rationale was, and understand what you are saying, but the fact remains that you were posting about distributing something you don't own, didn't produce, and have no right to distribute. Under several US, UK and International Intellectual Property laws that makes it blatantly illegal. If you want to run the risk, that's your decision, but I can't have the NS Forums at risk as an accessory to it.
