I believe that is illegal and could get our site shut down by having that link on here. Will have to let one of the big wigs edit if so.

In the same way torrents aren't inherently piracy, neither is that link.

He also hasn't suggested it be used as such :)

Pirated Software Links to cracked games or stolen software is strictly prohibited on our forums. Fearless Assassins is not responsible for legal actions that result from your violations.

 

 

Rule 11 in the wiki forum rules. Its not software but it falls under the piracy thingy ^^

TG, the website can also be used for legitimate, and legal, uses. Sure it can be /used/ for piracy, but then so can xfire, file sharing websites and almost anything that allows you to share content with other people. That particular website won the right to continue, if I remember what I read correctly, after YouTube took steps to stop people ... or something like that. My memory is pretty crappy, but my point remains ^_^

I don't see a huge issue with it. I use it all the time. It can be good for ripping sound effects, but I'm sure we all know the real reason it's used. Hah. I think numbnuts is just using caution given the head honchos stance on piracy.

 

It's still an ongoing battle when it comes to google and these sites. I don't think it's out of the water yet.

 

The way the US works with music piracy is f***ing retarded anyway. I mean, giving my homie a mixed tape back in the day should have landed me some hefty fines or put me in jail amirite?

well, I was wondering for example if it's 'ok' to post links to youtube vids with songs, when they shouldn't even be on YT in the first place

 

even doing covers is in theory illegal afaik

Covers are addressed by their TOS. I will usually put a copywrite disclaimer in my description and that it is intended for personal entertainment and instruction only.
