Torrent section question

[ARon]

I dont get this, we can put up torrents to copyrighted material but we cant do the same with a link in OB4CL.

Explain the hypocrisy please.

 

[Rukas]

Well, there is no hypocrisy, because you can in fact post such links.

 

[ARon]

What the, since when.

 

[Prize Gotti]

What the, since when.

Since ever.

The clue is in the name "Only Built For Download Links"

 

[ARon]

^The clue is threads would be deleted for postin up full albums. Thats the point, not the links.

No, they only got deleted because they were leaked before release.

 

[ARon]

And torrents arent? Thats how most leaked shit gets to the net in the first place.

he has a point. why cant we post links of leaked albums but the dealer can post torrents of leaked albums?

because of a loophole in the law probably. if you provide a link to a third party website, that third party is responsible for everything. you are a mere messenger. you could still maybe get in trouble though. if you post a direct download link to an album you are the leaker, and mike can be held accountable as the owner of this website for not removing the link. maybe he didn't intentionally leave the link but just missed it. basically, it would bring a stress on him that he wouldn't need.

these are all assumptions by the way.

Yea, the torrents are links to 3rd party websites, not actual direct links.

I pretty sure that Rukas has it configured so leaked material doesnt show up.
