Whats is everyones opinion on this, suggestions, legal advice?

I guess the files you would get the most &#39;heat&#39; for will be:

M&#036; stuff
Films still on at the cinemas
MP3s


I really have no clue to the legal side of things, whether you could be shut down for this but I know a lot of trackers/forums don&#39;t allow these torrents. Kind of defeats the purpose I know, so it might be worth looking into this properly.

That, doesn&#39;t that pretty much cover everything? But, as Ron White said, you never get anywhere if you worry about what&#39;s gonna happen about it tomarrow. Or some shit like that...

But I say, go for it. On the other hand you might wanna shorten the title of the main forum page, it&#39;s way too long, the whole title don&#39;t even fit. [/b][/quote]
Good point.

I reckon we should steer clear of M&#036; stuff though &#39;cos that is what POTUK (a good UK BT forum) got shut down for temporarily.

And pr0n, let&#39;s just have that banned as well. This site attracts children as well, so we shouldn&#39;t really carry that either.

Yeah thats a good point Cheese. I don&#39;t think its neccessary to have porn here either

Unless its gep of course

Welll said

Porn is banned on the board so it should be in the bittorrent section too

What maybe a good idea is for members to set up there own trackers for limited times. Maybe even take in turns or something, I&#39;m only just looking into it but it can&#39;t be that hard...can it?

and maybe set the address from no-ip.com? so as each person changes they just log into no-ip.com and become the tracker.

edit, on second thoughts unless they have a fast computer, connection and possibly be running linux it may become difficult and slow. It would still work though

oddly enough porn would bring the least attention, whereas movies/software will bring cease and desist orders

7. Posts that contain direct download links to copyrighted software, private ftp sites, serial numbers, warez sites, and hacking sites are prohibited. Posts directly or indirectly related to any of this information will be edited. Hacking discussions are strictly prohibited within the forum. Sig2dat and ED2K hashes are NOT considered to be DDL, therefore allowed. Torrent links are never allowed as they contain detailed file location information and enable users to instantly download a file.

It&#39;s my understanding that this rule is based on past legal advice. Then again, maybe that was bs. from 7th.

I would not like to see this site shut down because of torrents. Is it really worth the risk?

Setting up a tracker is easier than I thought...just learned how to do it since this topic started and have successfully used it to upload stuff to DanB.

(Unfortunately DanB didn&#39;t seed the file so I banned his ass...)

What he forgets to mention is that he didnt let the torrent finish



I really wanted that Holly Valance song too
