Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Moderators There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. 10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. 13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Depends on your particular country's laws on copyright. Where I am it was never something bothered about until our country signed a trade deal with the USA. After that some of USA's industries wanted to 'force' changes to our laws on copyright. Force changes to how our ISP's worked. Basically they wanted to throw USA's laws across here wanting to control everything. I'm not sure anything positive really came out of the USA trade deal for 'us'. I get the feeling we've been invaded by another country. For us the USA trade agreements has not meant cheaper audio CD's, or cheaper cinema tickets, or cheaper DVD sales, or cheaper software. Just their blackmailing of our government in their typical 'slimey' dogmatic fashion. They are not much better than the mafia how they operate (MIAA, etc.) Last edited by Lord of the Rings; September 24th, 2009 at 01:47 AM. |

| Nice one there, Lord. Well first of all 'HeyLove', you might get fined but not arrested. Also, considering that 3500 people a year in the US and UK alone get fined for illegal file sharing, i would say "Put down Limewire, pick up on uTorrent". But that's me. I mean, what's stopping the authorities from getting a hold of you IP and fining you? Nothing. I like to think of it as a big game of 'Pick 'n Mix'. Random. |

| I think the main thing is don't go crazy downloading a bunch of things in a short period of time. I had a co-worker who got an email from his ISP that he was using too much bandwith, and had better stop downloading or they would turn him in. Was enough to scare him, but if it was true it was nice they warned him. |

| Turning in for too much bandwidth?! That's a new kind of scare tactic - did he pay for a flatrate? If yes, then his ISP is trying to wiggle out of a contract they made with him - and they use scare tactics. "We know you do something illegal, but as long as we can reap more profit from it than our contract normally allows, we'll tolerate it." Either they are furthering criminal activity by ignoring what they know, or they are threatening him without reason. Either way they are blackmailing him to keep him from using what he paid for - and that's simply illegal.

| Well with using Cox there was no flatrate, but somehow they traced usage to him. I agree it seems illegal to me to. They should have the obligation to turn someone in if they suspected illegal downloading. I know he did panic when oink got busted. He was so sure they were never going to go down. So I am sure that didn't help when Cox contacted him. |

| I don't know Cox, so I don't know how his contract goes. Does it say "you are allowed to download as much as you like"?

| Fair Usage Policy mrbilliv & arne_bab I don't know who this ISP called Cox is or what country they operate in but it seems to me that they have invoked their Fair Usage Policy (FUP). Some years ago something similar happened to me, when I was a BT (British Telecom) dial-up customer, I believed I had unlimited download facilities until I was warned then cut off. It seemed that mrbilliv's friend was downloading a lot stuff, this flagged up a warning in Cox's computers which then logged the IP address concerned. From there all Cox had to do was consult their records to see who that IP address was allocated to. However, since most ordinary people do not have the money to take on their ISPs then the next best thing is for mrbilliv's friend (and anybody else in the same predicament) to take his custom elsewhere. Since my run in with BT I have done everything possible NOT to ever become a BT customer again. UK Bob |
