Is this illegal to talk about?

Post by **Stavros** » 23 Jan 2006, 20:22

Since I can't seem to find any thread on the Forum Rules, I thought I'd just post my question. Is Piracy illegal to talk about?

[Edit] Nevermind. Found the rules. From what I can make of it almost everything is okay to talk about except for warez (pirated things) and serialz (the serials that activate the warez).

right...explicitly asking for serialz/warez/crackz is not allowed on the boards, just because of the fact that I want to stay away from trouble.
but what´s going on on PM is a different thing...

So the PMs aren't moderated?

of course not...

privacy is a big issue here, I would never give away user data like email-adresses either. personally I don´t have a problem with people looking for serials,etc....but if I would allow that such stuff is posted on the boards the manufacturers of the programs could sue the crap out of me because I am responsible for the content of this site (forget about these "disclaimers" many sites use, they don´t protect the site owner at all, in opposite, in a lawsuit they will use this disclaimer against the owner by saying that he knew that the content of his site was illegal and therefore he displayed the disclaimer)

but what goes on via PM is completely private..

I just had to ask. To tell yout he truth, I know that the "Disclaimers" are bullshit.

[Edit] So can any of the "Affiliates" get sued? Is this even safe to talk about? I mean what if one of the smartass lawyers gets a bright idea because I started a thread about this....I'm going to stop talking.

well, the site owner (me, hehe..) and the server is located in germany, and in germany it´s not like in the US where everbody can sue everyone for anything...

freedom of speech man, you can talk about what you want to...

and you can only be sued when you link to something illegal and so promote these illegal services (like warez downloads), neither suck-o nor any of the affiliate sites are illegal, no money to make for a lawyer here....

Seems like over there it's more of a liberal interpretation of "Freedom of Speech" and I like that.

Its like WHEN YOU BUY COFFIE ITS GOING TO BE HOT!!!!. Did you want it cold, NO if it was could im sure she would have complained. sometimes this country pisses me off. but i still like it for the most part.

poor americans...I´m really glad I live in good, old germany where everything is fine and politicans only speak the truth...

check this out: when the war on Iraq started the german government said "no, will will not take part in this war" and they got big credits for this by the german people...but now has been discovered that agents of the german secret service (BND) worked together with the CIA and marked targets for the bombers. well, should be something that needs to be investigated, right? but no, ALL parties don´t see a reason for investigations...they lie with every word they say, and when they get caught they act like it´s not our business.

oh germany, land of the....add insult here.....

absolute power corrupts absolutly...no matter where u r in the world, it is easy for people 2 loose sight of their belifs and morals and become untruthful......i hate when people say Americans are fat, money hoarding liars....some r, but most arnt....same with Germans.....oh hes German he must love Hitler....Bullshit...just about all Germans are mad about what he did....was he a great leader and pull Germany out of a Depression? Yes of course, but a whole culture should not be judged by the actions of few......

sorry im in a ranting mood.......... i invite anyone with counter pionts to speak up......but be as smart/politically correct as possible.......please nothing distasteful......
