I'm not getting into this whiney argument... The LAW says I'm within it to use a file sharing program....
If you don't like them, don't use them.
Don't try to force your baseless morality on me.
"Fair Use" is the wave of the future. Deal with it.
First of all, let me introduce myself as the webmaster on this website.
ClintonHammond, let me clarify the Fair Use Clause you alluded to. The Fair Use clause refers to media that has been legally purchased. The law is designed to allow you to move the media to a different format and to create a backup for personaly use, not to be distributed illegally. While Canada has ruled that the use of file-sharing programs does not imply that you are illegally trading media and software, using software without paying for it is still against the law, even in Canada. We on
ControlBooth.com do NOT condone, encourage, or allow any discussion about the use, availability or swapping software with an illegally obtained license key. We've asked yourself and others in the past to not violate our rules.
Please understand that we work very hard not to trip any content filters that a school may have put in place to protect high school students from the darker side of the 'net. We don't want to get blocked by these filters and we have very sensitive filters in place to keep our site "clean", so that the school's filter's don't have to. Now, in another post you mentioned that we don't filter the word "bloody". We don't filter that because the word may be used in conversations in the Special f/x forum.
So, we are not imposing our "baseless morality" on you, we are asking you to abide by the rules we have set down. Thank you.
