Author Topic: Copyrighted items. (Read 12502 times)

So the rules on the board says we are not allowed to post anything illegal:

Quote

5. Nothing illegal! Do I even need to explain this one? Need a ROM to repair an arcade board you own? Fine to talk about. Need a ROM to complete your MAME collection? Don't bother to post here. If someone posts such a request, please don't answer it -- no direct answers, no hints, no private messages.

So why do I find illegal items being available on this board to download? Is this rule being relaxed?

What illegal item are you referring to? I've not seen it.

Ark, I'm assuming you don't own the rights to your avatar. Please delete it. It offends my delicate sensibilities. Every time you post I feel complicit in your criminal enterprise and this agression will not stand, uh, man.

I purchased the DVD/BR/LD/VHS, so I can use the avatar for promotional value. Your lack of spelling or spelling checker offends my belief that you are intelligent and you should know better. BTW is that anyway to talk to your superior, maggot?

Seriously there are copyrighted items that are not arcade related and accessible on this site. Participants are not helping this site, but hurting it. If you see it, report it.

Still waiting for a reply to the PM I sent you last night requesting specifics.

Walking in to a police station and loudly proclaiming, "There is crime taking place in the community!!1!!!" is not very helpful if you refuse to provide relevant details to the officer taking your statement.

I look forward to your reply with those relevant details -- either via PM to Saint and the mods or naming the specific files when reporting the offending post.

I agree with the ScottBot. Put up or STFU.

$100 says he is referencing a certain lengthy NSFW thread.

Although, those are up for commentary purposes, which fall under fair use.

I have yet to get the PM. Probably the reason why there are infringements, lack of interest?

It's not a witch hunt.

PL1 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 06, 2015, 10:41:41 pm »

I agree on taking a "no witch hunt" approach, but it would be good to know some more details.

PM resent -- it was just asking for which file(s) in the post you flagged were copyright infringing.

Scott

PL1 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2015, 12:12:09 am »

Thanks for the clarification via PM -- was looking in the wrong place until you mentioned the relevant key-word.

I've looked into it and have politely asked the individual in question to either remove all infringing material or to remove all links to the site in question.

Thanks again for bringing it to our attention, ark.

Scott

PL1 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2015, 04:25:42 am »

Infringing material has been removed by the individual who originally posted it.

Thanks to all parties involved for handling this matter in a friendly and positive fashion.

Pffft, thats all this ruckus was about? A link to a leaked incomplete beta?

No worries John, you are still a rock star!

Someone needs to find a new hobby if they are worried about crap like that.

Vigo · « **Reply #22 on:** April 07, 2015, 11:58:33 am »

Isn't this what the report to moderator button is for? So we don't have to start threads when this happens?

Also, maybe splitting hairs, but linking is a different thing than hosting. The ways things were written implied that this was material we were putting up for download.

pbj · « **Reply #23 on:** April 07, 2015, 12:06:45 pm »

Meh, we can't even link to archive.org or Amazon around here anymore.
