[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3459971, member: 27832"]I don't think that's exactly what happened.

As I've said before: I feel like Kurt contributed a lot here, but when confronted with a situation like this, "keep the litigious user happy" seems like a pretty risky path, and "ban the user permanently" seems relatively safe (as long as they still clean up in compliance with the DCMA notice, which they apparently did). I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the CT administration [I]wanted[/I] to let Kurt come back, but received [I]legal counsel[/I] that they shouldn't. But I'm definitely not a lawyer, not even a legislative assistant, so I'm probably mostly wrong.[/QUOTE]
