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.

If you see it on MTV or hear it on the radio, you can be pretty sure that it's copyright. Don't really know of a better answer

Take a look at the links on Lord of the Rings post (10-2004.) I'd say that if it's copyrighted, you share it (copy a book, movie, tape, dvd, etc.) and you don't have a license, you could get in $$ trouble. LW can be set to download only licensed material. (Tools > Options > Searching > Basic > License Warning )

I hate to lower the tone of you wonderful law abiding citizens, but the music industry has been ripping off its customers and artists for decades, in my opinion they are only getting what they deserve, of course 2 wrongs dont make a right, but if people can get it cheaper or free with little risk then guess what???

first of all ... learn to ****** type in ENGLISH. i didn't get a ****** word u just said. second of all, limewire only becomes illegal if people start to abuse it. If u download about 200 songs a day, and u got like 15,000 in ur library. chances are, the feds are gonna crack down. but if u only have like 200 in ur library and ur not a "chronic" downloader, chances are, they wont even find u in the first place.

It all comes down to whether ur I.P. address is constantly being exposed or not. If its the middle of the night and ur comp is still downloading, ur I.P. is gonna be exposed while everyone else's isn't. thats the only thing u should watch out for. To have ur computer off at night so that ur IP address doesn't get tracked.

anywho, limewire isn't illegal as long as u dont abuse and not get caught. ;P

Edited to comply with the House Rules.
There will be no excessive use of profanity permitted in these forums.

Besides that, you seem not to know what you're talking about......
Already the download of a single file protected by copyright laws is illigal.
The question whether you will be caught or not (by keeping your pc running over night or in the day), is something no-one can predict under any circumstances. Whether to take a risk or not is up to every person's own decision.

So, why don't you calm down a bit and when you try to give your opinion or to help someone use the languae your mother has taught to you.

erm ... I couldn't be bothered reading thru all that! Hey it's late for me! I share several hours of my own bands' music. There is no copyright requirements there even for "covers" since there's no income being made & no broadcast. Hail sharing non-copyright material. Make your own. lol (different countries have different copyright laws!)
