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. 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. 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. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 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. |

 Any thoughts on sharing legitimate content? I've been thinking about sharing legitimate content through gnutella, but wonder if there's much point. Most of the stuff I see is either spam, pirated or porn. I like the idea of open sharing, open source, and an open community. I like taking weather photos, and would like to share them. I'd be angry to see them used in a commercial way (arrogant assumption, eh?). Is there an equivalent of the open source license for content? I can just just share through the .Mac homepage service (it's well set up for that sort of thing), but wondered if anyone in this community can see much realistic hope for gnutella as a legitimate medium for sharing original material. If anyone can see any realistic value in such an attempt, any ideas on practical concerns like naming the files ("sasx-winter 001.jpg"?), annotating them for meta-data (exif2), and licensing would be appreciated. Frost in Saskatchewan, anyone? Or just back to "Please share Britney awesome".  |

 Not only is it possible, it is being done by many people. Not in the same scale, of course. However, this depends on people sharing non-pirated software on the one hand, and people willing to download it on the other hand. Ivan "In the dark we make a brighter light"

| Wallpaper! Thanks for the tip. I did find one called Autumn (one of the few without a provocative/spam title), remarkably nice, but the IPTC info was all blank--especially the copyright field. Would IPTC info be considered searchable "metadata"? There are lots of Audio and Video search options in LW, but none for images. |

| For what it's worth, I've managed to gather a collection of ~10000 fine art images, all legit content all more than old enough to avoid any copyright claims. Problems serving a fileset of this size aside, it generates ~1GB/day (~1000 downloads/day) of interest Other types of legit content that might be interesting could be:

| I annotate all my files as [xyz-xyz] Author (if avaible) - title.xyz So you could share your photos as [wallpapers-weather photos] Your name - title.jpg and everyone would know exactly where he/she is, when seeing them. Else make them avaible via a bitzi ticket on your webpage. Or personally PGP-signed BitTorrent files (as soon as they are supported by gnutella).

| Thanks Lee--I haven't visited your site for a few months, so I'll go back this week. The devian site is bookmarked! Probably not my style, but I've sent that link on to a couple of my artist friends--thanks Paradog. Lots more reading to do. So much to know, so little time and brain! |

 Legitimate Content We left the Gnutella Community several months ago in an effort to support some of the other FileSharing Communities. We were waiting for things at LimeWire to stabalize a bit. It looked like they're having a lot of problem but many of them seem to be resolved now. We purchased the pro edition of their latest offering version 3.2.1 and put online some content servers and we will see how things go over the next few weeks.

| There is already an excellent peer to peer network available for copyright free music. Lots of goodstuff depending on your taste. The trend is toward the .shn format. I'm sure you could build up quite a collection and share it on gnutella as well. You can learn about it at www.etree.org or www.furthurnet.net I don't know if I'm anxious to be embroiled in a lawsuit and counter sue for false allegations, but it seems like it would be very gratifying to offer up titles that are legal but might be assumed to be illegal bt the RIAA. Just to mess with them. |

The more legitimate content that is shared on Gnutella the harder it is to shut down. I try to share as much legitimate content as I can. I just takes a while to figure out what legitimate content people like and what name works the best to help people find it, but still accurately represents the content.  Wallpaper, pictures, fonts, books, documents, open source, etc. There are lots of popular things that are not copyrighted or are copyrighted but ok for non-business use. |

| Share your Download folder You can simply share your download folder. I got one dl: AudioHijack, which the Website offered with only 0.5kB/s with 7kB/s (ISDN) from Gnutella. When you do that, smaller sites will have less bandwidth problems, or might circumvent them with a magnet link. I share all downloads and an archive of most of my past downloads. For example it is possible like this to find an old version of a program, when it is no longer avaible on the web.

We have original CBT content Technology shows in MPG format we are hosting DRM content for transmissionfilms.com and we have our own ISO bundles. see this thread for details and spread the word.
