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.

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.

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. |

theft the problem with trying to "DEFINE" this term is as with anything else: interpretation. By definition the word FELONIOUS can mean of or relating to FELONY why by law is a crime punishible with 12 months or more of imprisonment if found guilty of said crime. All states within the United States of America have a law which some commonly call BRCSP, bying,receiving,concealing stolen property. Property has been changed to INCLUDE intellectual or NON-TANGIBLE things. The bottom line is that when someone produces something, they do so for their FINANCIAL GAIN and when you "share" it with someone you violate the law. Any moron that thinks it's PERFECTLY OK to do so wouldn't have a problem with me going into his bank account and taking his/her paycheck weekly; going into the garage and stealing the vehicle; taking his/her lunch JUST BEFORE it's been touched. Come on people.. THINK!!! What dipped-in-crap for brains thinks it's ok to take, use etc. other people's things without permission or proper monetary compensation. Smart like Rock. Fast like tree!

Re: What If... My 1969 mustang was "misplaced" will FOrd give me another one? Does this give me the right to "steal" one? Of course not. A one-time purchase of something doesn't give you a "lifetime" right to it. As long as you can "posess" it, you can use it. If you sell the record collection, or otherwise have no posession of it, you're just out of luck. Quote:

fundemental question? Question? who is or should be held accountable for the copyright infringment. The producer of the material? The consumer that buys the CD , DVD ext then uploads it to the net? Or the the third party that downloads it off the net? The producer of any written or recorded material has the responsiblity of copyrighting and then protecting said material. But buy broadcasting such material and making it availible to the general public the producer of such material gives "limited" licence to basically anyone who hears and or records the material. such as through (mass media) radio and TV ext, as long as it is not mass produced and sold for profit. a good example would be recording your favorite TV program on your VCR to watch later when you have the time. The consumer that buys the material is entering into an agreement with the producer of said material....do to the legal verbage contained in the copyright. And has an obligation to use the product responsibly. But has also pruchaced a "limited" licence to the said material. The consumer goes home uploads the material onto his computer so he can listen to his favorite music while he surfs the net. But includes it in his shared files. The third party which has not purchased the product and has not entered into any agreement with any producer of copyrighted material and therefore not obligated to protect said material downloads it off of the net via a file sharing program. Who has violated the agreement? The consumer. But he has limited licence. The third party copier? But he has never entered into any agreement with anyone and because it was accessed through (mass media) should also be granted "limited" Licence.....is always implied when material is broadcased over a mass media outlet. The producer of said material? which has made their product availible through (Mass Media) that grants the general public limited licence to view,listen to and record said material with a VCR ,Tivo,taperecorder,media player,ext Who's responsible? ut,oh I better go unplug my Tivo before I infringe on spongebob squarepants rights! OR is this just the price of fame and fortune? |

The facts remain that each and every one of us require money to survive these days. How do people get money? Most work for it. IT's not right to assume that because you can--that you should. I've had plenty of opportunities to steal something that I thought was rediculously attractive and the owner was a complete fool for leaving items unprotected--but instead I didn't; nor did I leave it for some theif. |

loss of revenue The question I'd like to know is just hiw much money does the record industry lose because of this? the undustry claims in the millions. Personally, I've not purchased a CD or other form of music since my teens and early 20's. I have a radio, and I used to DL from Winmx until it shut down. Now I just figure it's not worth the threat. The songs don't have enough value to me to risk paying fines or worse. I don't think the music industry is losing anything. I believe that most people downloading music aren't the same ones that will go to the store and purchase. |

Re: loss of revenue Quote:
A large portion of shared music is HORRIBLE quality, vocals sound like the singer is in the bottom of a Well usually...BUT if it sparks my interest I will be open to purchasing the entire CD just to have a quality recording...as long as some company like Sony doesn't install a Rootkit on my 'puter....BAD Sony!! |

Re: Re: loss of revenue so true, I wonder ohw many other people will try before they buy. I've purchased CD's, tapes, records etc. that had one good song and no others. I was frustrated and felt ripped off. Also, about the quality. You're absolutely right. I really don't think it's completely right, but the music industry is just whining like the post office and everyone else. Things are just changing. Get used to it. I have no problems going to a music and paying a subscription fee but I'm not going to pay $2 per song when the quality sucks and I could have bought the CD myself for the same price. Quote:

Is it possible to un-upload music from Limewire, per the artist's request? Hi LeeWare, I ask this question, because the artist has asked me. I misunderstood what permission I had, and loaded some music into MY library. I am presuming that means it is available for unknown parties to then search for this music and download a copy of it from me. Is this correct? The artist has some live music I am welcome to share, but apparently not a recorded release. How can I make this right? Thanks, mrsmoose1478 Quote:
