There is the Half Life 2 source code floating around the net right now. It looks to be about a month old. There's no official word from Valve on the source code leak yet. Unfortunately those who want to use it to cheat already have it, we need to get the word to legitimate customers to educate them about the situation.

EDIT - Looks like the server is overloaded, probably /.
The current story right now is that Gabe Newell (PR guy for Valve I think?) Got a trojan or something via Outlook Express and it eventually lead to a backdoor and someone copied the entire source code. I bet someone thinks he's l33t now.

It's illegal. Edit your posts please.
How boring...

Not boring, legal. It's not worth the risk to us. Simple logistics.
Just wondering what exactly is the dangerous issue.

Whichever way you slice it, the code is illegal. It is source code that is copyrighted to Valve.
The intellectual property value of that code is alot. It's covered by laws.
It's a sticky grey area and Im asking nicely if you can leave it out of posts. Simple and not too harmful request to you
This stinks long way IMO. But if it is true, well congrats to the most stupid fault in the history. It would be so stupid that i can´t even feel sorry for the *******. LMAO.
Stealing source is far far worse than piracy. And I hope anyone intending to use this code for profit will be prosecuted to the fullest extent the law will allow.
