Why not a valid link?Okie Terry said:Due to Copyright infringement,
DO NOT POST FSMs ON THIS FORUM!
PERIOD!
Strike one: Violators will be warned once and their post will be edited/deleted.
Strike two: Further action will be taken.

Posting a copyrighted pic or otherwise on the boards, I can see what you're saying, but if it's a valid link to a site open to the public, I don't see the problem. I just hate seeing heavy handed goderation of something that's not necessary because someone over reacted. :dunno:
Please don't fall into the trap!
A valid link open to the PUBLIC? I would call that free advertisement everytime we 'clicked' on it! I would say that if THEY didn't want US to look at it, why would they have it there to look at in the first place? If this is the case, then ALL links posted on8Mud said:
are NOW not allowed and evey one of them needs to be deleted. :dunno:

doesn't control the content of external links, so if someone else wants to risk hosting an FSM on their personal (read: non- / sb-host) webspace it's their business whether or not they want to potentially face prosecution for violating copyright laws. It's the difference between "you can buy bootleg DVDs in downtown L.A." and "I'm selling bootleg DVDs". websites do, but as we have no control over the content of external sites it may be worth adding a note to the disclaimer to that effect. This should permit those who want publicly accept the risk of violating copyright to do so, while not violating our fundamental freedom to publicly note where they may be doing it.

OT - I think a PM would have worked. I would have listened.
has a problem with being associated with pirated materials, be it FSMs or otherwise. out of the mix. and, frankly, we don't need the hassle.Forgive me but, does the word paranoid come to mind?Okie Terry said:You think you're the reason for all this?
Every other day, I'm deleting links the sites with the FSMs on them.
Nope, sorry, it's not you. You're not that important.
Everyone else,
This is not my stance on the issue.
If one has an issue that calls for the help of an FSM that they don't have and you want to help, take it back channel (via e-mail) and keep
Personally, I don't care what the whiner's stance is on the issue, as I'm looking out for the whole of the club and helping to protect it's intrests.
Call it stupid or unfair or whatever, but this is the way it has come to pass and is the way it will be until it's changed.
DCM has many more lawyers than does
If you have a problem with the way things run....................you know the rest. hasta
