On the Subject of Warez

What we're arguing about is the interpretation of it. Technically, you aren't advertising unless you directly provide means to obtain a product or service. Unless you're explicitly linking a warez site, I don't see any reason for trouble.

I'm about to close this topic, it's getting out of hand. Just follow the ToS; you are in no way obligated to follow Banshee's rules, however.

Tecnofreak asked me to post this here. But it doesnt reflect my thoughts about it:

To clear up the issue of warez and advertising/discussing it I will give the true meaning of advertising and how that affects the situation.

Advertising is the act of making something known clearly or praising publically. This thread is technically in breach of the Terms of Service by bringing so much attention to the subject.

However, before I have my head bitten off, you the have to weigh in freedom of speech. The two mixed create an invisible thick line... know one knows exactly when you cross it unless you make that fact obvious.

Talking about warez in the sence of general mention and not endorsing it is fine by the looks of things... it is also fine to avoid saying anything negative about warez.

As long as you make discreet, unlinked, on topic references it should be acceptable, though Banshee can ban you despite terms of service as this is his site to command.

hope that clears things up,
Technofreak

Just a bumpage to this topic to remind people that topics related to warez, or where to get cool game musics will instantaneously disappear. Sorry, but Google is sacred.. and same applies to the reputation of this place, so we do not support this kind of thing here.
