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. |

Post here strategies to protect against R.I.A.A. suits, hiding your IP Address, etc.. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER... OK guys, let's get down to business and SHARE ideas and strategies to protect ourselves from these bast*rds trying to sue us for sharing music with each other! *PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE* POST YOUR IDEAS AND STRATEGIES *HERE*ON HOW TO DOWNLOAD & SHARE MUSIC ANONYMOUSLY, OR AT LEAST MAKE IT HARD FOR THE R.I.A.A. TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY YOU AND PURSUE YOU. Now is NOT the time to just stand by and "wait to see what happens"! We must protect ourselves, we must protect each other, and we must stop this madness. Again, if you have any ideas of how to make yourself anonymous while downloading and sharing files, stop the R.I.A.A. from being able to know your IP Address, and so on, POST IT HERE FOR ALL TO SEE! DO NOT THINK THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THE ANSWERS ALREADY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T! EVEN "COMMON SENSE" TACTICS ON HOW TO HIDE YOUR IP ADDRESS FROM THE R.I.A.A. SHOULD BE POSTED HERE - LET US HELP EACH OTHER OUT HERE, LET US NOT ADOPT THE ATTITUDE OF "WHATEVER..I'M SAFE"...BECAUSE NO ONE IS SAFE ANYMORE! Do we really want to go back to the dark days of non-internet music sharing? Are we gonna let these rich bast*rds win? I THINK NOT! SHARE YOUR TACTICS AND LETS US STAND TOGETHER AGAINST THE R.I.A.A. TYRANNY! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! LEGAL DISCLAIMER: THIS MESSAGE BOARD POST THREAD IS NOT MEANT NOR INTENDED TO ENCOURAGE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. IT'S SOLE PURPOSE IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. |

Hmmm... Gee Lee..why didn't I think of that? Your absolutely right..I need to stop sharing all my music files (since they all make me a target for the R.I.A.A.), and then, everyone else needs to do the same thing...and then...hey..what happened to all the Peer to Peer networks? |
| |||
I'm living in Germany, our ISPs are not allowed to hand out names and addresses to the RIAA or the German equivalent. There have not been any lawsuits against p2p-users for sharing music yet. If they finally come to Germany, I will start using my ISPs http proxy to upload files, so they cannot track my IP. |

I'm sure there's a very good case to be made against price-fixing in the U.S. entertainment industry, but theft isn't endearing anyone to its cause. Stealing Porsches isn't acceptable just because they are overpriced. |

Alrighty then... If someone chooses to share their private music files with me, then the key word is SHARE...I didn't break into their computer and steal anything...they of their own right and will have chosen to share their files -now where's the theft in that? The fact that this is happening on a large scale is what the problem is, but the fact that it is happening on such a large scale DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE ARE *SHARING* WITH EACH OTHER, AND NOT STEALING ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. I have the right to share what is mine with whomever I want. This whole thing reminds me of when the music industry used to say the same thing about people copying music on their tape recorders, and later on their CD's and sharing it with others. Ok enough...let's share ideas on how to stop these nuts from trying to prosecute us for *sharing* our own private files, and not go back and forth on the bogus legal claims made by the R.I.A.A. This thread is not for supporters of these nuts, sorry! |
