Your question seems orthogonal to the situation. The three files posted seem to be the minimum amount of information required to reproduce the bug. Fair use encompasses a LOT of uses of otherwise copyrighted work, and this seems clearly to be one.

I don't see how publicly posting them on a forum is

> the minimum amount of information required to reproduce the bug

MAYBE if they had communicated privately that'd be an argument that made sense.

[timschmidt]

So you don't think that software development which happens in public web forums deserve fair use protection?

[beeboobaa]

That's an interesting way to frame "publicly posted someone else's data without their consent for anyone to see and download"

[timschmidt]

I notice you're so invested that you haven't noticed that the files have been renamed and zipped such that they're not even indexable. How you'd expect anyone not participating in software development to find them is yet to be explained.
