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. 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. |

 Digital Rights Management? I did a search already, but need want more info! Hey Folks! Thanks for all the help and the files! I have been doing my searches like a good girl to learn all about this stuff since I am new. Right now I would like to learn some specific things about DRM, which I could not find awnsered from my various keywork searches. Mainly being I have been using Windows Media Player to create a few playlists and burn them. One thing that is talked about in WMP's privacy policy is about DRM. My point being they say things like what I have copied and pasted below. WMP says: "If you acquire protected content from a music or video service, you may receive the associated license at the same time. If not, when Windows Media Player tries to use a protected file that does not have a current license, Windows Media Player will attempt to acquire the license for you. This can be done through your online store, or directly from a license server on the Internet." "If the online store did not supply a license, or if the protected content is not associated with any of your online stores, Windows Media Player will request a license directly from a license server on the Internet. The license server's Web address is specified in the protected file; most license servers are operated by companies other than Microsoft. When requesting a license, Windows Media Player will provide the license server standard computer information, an ID for the music or video file, the action you have requested (such as play or burn), information about the DRM components on your computer such as their revision and security levels, and a unique identifier for your computer. The unique identifier is used only to generate a license for your computer and, because it is enclosed in an encrypted license request, is not available to the license server in a way that uniquely identifies you or your computer." That being said do I need to use another media player that doesn't do that? And IS there one? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, for any awnsers (or links to other truly relevent threads) you can provide!!!!!!!!! Peace Last edited by wildflower; May 10th, 2005 at 03:03 PM.  |

| First, you have to start using Linux. Second, you need to stop downloading anything that is microsoft related. Files with endings like avi, wmv can send you to a web site without knowing it and microsoft is the one who put this into the format. Think about why you would need to send people unknowingly to a web site when playing a movie or sound file. There is no reason. Except to support spammers and spread viruses. So microsoft supports spammers and the spreading of viruses and they should be banned off the planet. If you stop downloading those files, people will stop sharing them. If you know how to convert files to a safe format like mpg or ogg then please do so. |

| wildflower I think Unable is a bit over the top but is basically right, anything that sends info about you or your PC to any organisation should be avoided, simply because you do not know how they are going to use it. Use WMP sparingly, if at all. UK Bob |

 iTunes ROCKS! Hey Wildflower, You know, Linux is an OS alternative to MacOS or Windows... a world unto itself, based on the Unix OS, but OPEN SOURCE... So, there are many free versions... but, you won't be able to run your Windows apps on Linux... are you up for learning a new OS? Unless you have a computer science degree, I doubt you are ready to embrace the penguin! ;-)  You can dual-boot, but it is VERY tricky... You can run an OS switcher, but are they free?About DRM (Digital Rights Management) -- there are many alternatives to WMP, some better, some worse. BOOKS could be written about that topic! WinAMP is a popular alternative, but I do NOT like it any better than WMP, there are tradeoffs, some good some bad, plusses and minuses... technical and operational! I HIGHLY recommend you download iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes -- it is FAR better IMHO than either WMP or WinAmp or others I have tried, but there are probably other good media players out there, too. I like the way iTunes lets me manage my MP3 files, playlists, and update tags very easily. Great U/I! AND, it runs on both Windows and MacOS! Meanwhile, I think there is some DRM stuff in most media players out there these days. Copyright holders want to know who is copying their stuff... beware, your IP addr is being LOGGED!!!

| Bullshit. Every retard can install and use Linux. If you are not interested in technology but just want to use the ******* computer, get a distribution like Mandriva or SuSE. Those are known to be sufficiently user-friendly. And .avi is OK, just not on Windows. But on Windows there's hardly anything "safe". |

| Dear Wildflower, Windows Media Player is not the only software in town. I recommend you download and try out WinAmp, which is absolutely free and can handle most of the media files you want to play. You can find it at http://www.winamp.com/player/ They have a free version, and a premium version. Obviously, you should try out the free item before deciding to buy. WinAmp can handle about 90% of the multimedia files you want to play, both audio and video. If you want to tinker with your pictures or icons or movies, then I suggest IrfanView, another free program that you can download from http://www.irfanview.com/ I hope this helps. Rick |
