Good grief! Talk about turning a blind eye!, just because it suits you to pretend there is nothing wrong just because it suits you. I have already quoted from the original link something that shows it is an iffy download!
No doubt if I was incorrect the original poster would have been back on protesting in strong terms as to how I have done him wrong, knowing how good he is at gleaning information from the WWW he would show us how this was freeware or at least a legitamate gift from the original source and not something ripped off, if he does do that then I will apologise, (I actually have a large amount of respect for him), otherwise don't defend the indefensible.

On the other hand, online availability of the PAF could prove a big blow to the Royal Mail, which has repeatedly ignored requests from freedom of information campaigners to publish the postcode database free of charge.
Campaigners have long argued that the PAF should be freely available to help businesses create services around the taxpayer-funded data, and while this leak might get a few wannabe-web entrepreneurs mildly excited, the real juicy postcode stuff remains locked behind closed doors - for now.
Royal Mail statement should be available soon.

Just because freedom of information junkies want it to be free does not make it free, it just means someone has stolen it and anyone using it is breaking someone's copyright, (that itself is objected to by the thread starter), so perhaps it should be done by those of you that wish to continue with this type of theft somewhere other than accyweb?
