If someone posted a link to warez, or gave FTP info/warez website/shit like that, then that'd violate the rules. P2P has its valid uses (such as those users who lack money or knowledge or whatever for hosting), and as earthcurrent pointed out, it's a program that you can use to access warez, but it is not warez in and of itself.

Of course, I don't really care what people do on their own home computers - just don't be blabbing your ass off about it.

Also, I suspect that rule exists partly because Phade doesn't want to attract heat, and partly to keep the message boards from getting filled with shit like "DOES NE1 HAVE SERIALZ/KEYGEN 4 PREMERE?!!!!1!!1 PLZ REPLY ASAP, KTHX!"

lol ... no your not sick ... to watch them is one thing ... i'd call you sick if you started making your own. Well maybe in that case i still wouldn't ... it would problaby all depend on your video subject ...


oh, Cat, just out of curiosity ... why is it that every time somone mentions P2P software you go and spit out that rule like a kid with turrets(sp?) syndrome?

Of course asking about P2P programs isn't illegal, and he isn't asking for warez. Cat just likes to be an ass sometimes.


Asking about P2P programs and assuming it is for warez is like asking about guns and assuming it's for robbing a bank.

Or talking about sex and immediately assuming it involves furries.

Goddamn furry artists. They have potential, but they just do shit.

so even if someone asks for a program that has the potential to access illegal content/warez. It doesn't fall under 'asking how to obtain warez'. ghey.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab

just because you have the power to, doesn't mean you will use it.

Well it's always possible he's trying to distro his AMVs o.O ?


Ever think of that maybe? :roll:


P2P has legit purposes, just %99.9 of the time it's used for "illegal" purposes.

It isn't that, it's the scrutinizing over such a thin line. "He isn't asking how to obtain warez. He's asking about a program with the potential to obtain warez (like there wont be. :roll: ). There's a difference."
