I hope you understand another point, kevvvvv as do I and other mods actually need to make this reminder because if we dont then eventually it will go astray. Some of the wording in this thread is inviting such talk. Mentioning warez in itself could lead a new member to say what's warez and seek it out just on that one word.tapekiller wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 11:22 amThe difference here is that nobody is discussing warez per se, but only mentioning them to make a point about what is happening for every legit user.
Changes to the legit software were made because of warez.
The subject is changes to legit software, not warez.
IF someone said that Avenger might have to change copy protection again if who got around Auto-Tune's codemeter protection takes a look at Avenger, I wouldn't classify it as warez discussion, because it concerns the legit user using the legit software and it's inextricably tied to the matter at hand.
Since you're a moderator inform me please, how can we say that sylenth1, rapid, and other software didn't need to use third party copy protection systems and yet their software is still "safe from some evil men work aimed to distribute alternative version of said software through non-legal means" without making it about warez/cracks per se? This is important, because I don't want to trigger anyone and get banned just because a discussion about the legal software (so, not warez) needs to mention (NOT discuss) one of the topics which discussion is forbidden?
I hope you understand the point I'm trying to make.
there is your actual rule, the problem is it is very easy to forget and to make a point one might link to a site as evidence (happened many times), I myself have got posts from members telling me I dont need to say this stuff often...but we do, as did kevvvvv in this case. It's just a reminder, that's all, we really need to enforce this rule very tightly because this is something if not constantly being monitored could bring down this site.Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites, media, etc. Users linking to, asking for information about, or blatantly bragging about using, warez, crackz, pirated sample content, re-printing material without permission, etc. will result in your post being edited / deleted, and you may be issued with a warning and / or a ban.
It should not affect any members us making these reminders, we get many new members a day so we need to stay vigilant everyday
