It doesn't matter how any one of us may feel about the application of existing law to any particular work; the law remains in place just the same.
As linked to above, those opposed to existing law have put Archive.org in legal jeopardy by using that site to transfer digital works in violation of applicable law.
And these LiveCode forums have guidelines defining the promotion of illegal activity as "Prohibited Content" (see that section here).
Hoping one last time to turn this conversation into something productive, it is precisely because the old Network Utility isn't on par with more complex works like 3D software that it's such an excellent candidate for using LiveCode to replace it.
The underlying command line calls can be made with LC's shell function. LC is famous for the ease it brings to crafting graphical user interfaces.
I would strongly encourage you or any other interested party to consider making a new thread about how to enjoy the functionality of the old Network Utility as an exercise in showing off what LiveCode can do. I can offer no assurances this thread will remain in place long.
