In fact, they were quite "surprised" when they saw the news on diabloii.net.I have been gone for the past week so have not been able or had time to look at anything, especially not new posts. Anyway, the issue would not be the actual data itself, but the presentation of it (THAT is covered by copyright by the way). Even if you do your own tests use the same formulas (which seems to not exist to start with by the way) and so on, you don't end up with the same layout, the exact same three data columns in that order. The exact same start and end value for thr tables. One thing that struck me, why the "half" fram values, since the game can't process half frames, why have it, and why do BOTH sites then have it? Just one example of a thing that you don't just "end up with" by yourself independantly.
By the way: Even if there is some "hidden person" that wants to stay anonymously (and I am pretty sure we all know that this is nonsense) ... he would not even have the right to give a permission to use or copy that data.
The point is (and that is also what Heri told me after he had contacted the diabloii.net guys): Noone can prove that they have actually not made their own tests. That data can theoretically be found out by anyone - and nobody has a copyright for them.
