UFO:AI on Ebay??
Destructavator:
On another thought, one that wouldn't cost anything, perhaps a little note could be added to the game's installer/setup screen? Something that explains before the license that the game is free and any sale is unauthorized and illegal (or something similar)?
BTAxis:
Nobody ever reads what is written on the initial screens of an installer. We've got a notice on the game's loading screen, which is a lot more effective.
Destructavator:
Yeah, I guess you're right, now that I think about it.
This looks like one of those things in life where someone does something bad and not too much can be done about it. :(
Unless anyone has any great new ideas about what can be done about it (that would actually work), I don't see much point in going on and on any more on this topic, IMO. I admit I'm still a little mad about it, but other than the already-implemented loading screen message in the game I don't think much more can realistically be done.
BTAxis:
Well, what you COULD do is remove the SF download altogether and make a download page of your own. You could then put a captcha system in place or something to prevent people downloading it from elsewhere, and stick a big sign saying "if you paid for this download you were ripped off" on that page.
But I suspect it's more trouble than it's worth.

The bandwidth costs would be enormous. I could provide a mirror for a terabyte or two, but for a new release of a popular 300+meg file, that's nothing.
