No! Keep it here until i've downloaded it all

give it back

I moved it, because who cares?  This isn't LINKING TO FALLOUT 3 or RMXP or some other download people are constantly looking for.  It's a bunch of mixtapes filled with obscure bands, most of which do not exist anymore.  Is FLIPPER going to come out of hiding and harass us about posting their music?  You guys should honestly be looking at the reasoning behind the rules and not the rules themselves.  There are different strata of piracy and if you can't see the huge difference between linking popular games and linking rapidshares of mixtapes with artists no one's ever heard of, I don't know what to tell you.  GW is not what you would call a center of piracy and I doubt it would attract any attention at all if we had the topic in public.

Also, Comics and Anime.  We've been allowed to post fansubs in it for years, but I've seen people link licensed cartoons and anime numerous times and no one ever said anything about it, because a) not really a big deal, and b) we're not some HUGE ANIME FORUM so we can do this without drawing tons of attention.  It's already a bit of a contradiction with the rules, and these mixtapes or more or less the same thing.  They're not Metallica; they're filled with bands no one cares about, and we're not a big ol' music forum anyway so I doubt people outside of GW will even notice like they would if GW was a HUGE MUSIC PIRACY FORUM.

idk, if we get a complaint or someone being like HEY TAKE OUR SHIT DOWN we can obviously move it back and know that this is not something we can do, but the bands that are being linked in this topic aren't the ones who are EQUIPPED TO FILE LAWSUITS or even close, so there's really no risk in testing the waters.  It's not like anyone's linking TOOL DISCOGRAPHY.

have you not seen the HUNDREDS of blogs who blatantly put free music everywhere? if you're that scared, put up one of those bullshit paragraphs where you say you should delete the music within 24 hours and if you like it buy the record lol fuck the man.

how do we get access to this magical forum btw? premium?

those blogs religiously get CEASE///DESIST emails, which is not something we want, is the point.  hell, that's how stone closed iirc.  most of them inevitably get shut down whic is obviously not something we want to deal with.


also ya, premium

oh, i've been using the same blogs for months and in some cases years, i don't think i've seen actual blogs get shut down because of it, only the individual rapidshare links or whatever

yeah......yeah.  actually i'll do it now.
