If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Default Are you worried about being prosecuted for using p2p software?

With the music industry starting to sue individuals for file sharing are you worried that you might be prosecuted?
And do you think music companies will succeed in their fight P2P companies.

wish someone would explain this stuff to my bro, feel like my head is sore from butting a brick wall, he don't seem to get the fact that even though you can pay £18 sumat for limewire, but its still peer to peer

Oh an yeah i'm worried when my bro is on my case to use my internet connection and pay for a percentage of it, then download illegal music. But who will really get done for it? not him cos his laptop won't be here to prove it. I will, will he pay the bill whatever they may serve upon us? no he'll expect me to do so.

Will he watch my family starve, his 3 nieces and nephew? No he'll walk away with no worries no cares what happens to us.

Just tell him to use anonymous p2p.

And to check the Wikipedia for Infos.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_P2P

Simply don't let anyone in on your connection with non-anonymous p2p-software.

And don't let yourself get all fuzzy eyed.

Oh well, then I'll be frank:

I share both, Music and Movies, and also Documents (txt, rtf, pdf, odt).

Those are Documents by my own making plus some I am allowed (or even encouraged) to share by their authors.

If you need something to share, just IM' me.

Besides: @GirPlanet: That's your fraggin' brother, so he will very ungladly pay your bill alongside you, if you get hit by that chance of one to I-know-not-how-much, except if he's a <self-censored >, and if he's a <self-censored >, you shouldn't let him in on your connection, so your post seems a little weeny bit unreasonable/fear-pretending/useless (choose your type of post yourself).
And if you are afraid and don't use anonymous p2p, get a grip on yourself and take a glimpse at wikipedia.
And if your bro doesn't use ano-p2p, even though he knows you are afraid, he's still a <self-censored >.
Have fun, or at least try to look like it

No,
Let me elaborate, I dont share music or download music. I get all the music I need straight from digital TV.

Movies I dont share or download movies made in hollywood. I do download a lot of porn, both image and video, but none of it is covered by MPAA members! I get all the older movies straight from digital TV, Blockbuster think I have a handicaped relative who watches 4 movies a day

I share and download a lot of jokes and funny clips etc etc, also not covered by MPAA!

I download and share a lot of documents, many people "publish" their books for free on line these days, I am an avid reader.

Mostly I only use and write "freeware", so programs are not an issue for me.

I rarely download movies or such from torrents and only have about 70 music files...should I even be worried about being prosecuted?
