Silkroad Online Forums

Am I the only one who dislikes this rule?

Yes, it is illegal in most countries but it's widely accepted in society. IRL you talk about it with anyone, although it's illegal. So I just don't understand why it's prohibited on an internet forum...

I have even seen a mod (no names mentioned) helping a guy to get a program for free, but of course he did it in a pm. Kind of ironic. Maybe the rule is still there because this forum is old and all the rules haven't been looked over and updated if needed.

Its not because they dont like people doing it. Ryoko could get in trouble and the forum could get taken down if it is found to supply stuff like that.

Really? You know it's not illegal to post a link to a illegal download. It's just illegal to download.

And I don't see how this little forum would get taken down before pirateb**.com or some other big downloading site.

But maybe I'm wrong.

o.O Waisha.. you know it is Illegal .And is not a forum to have links to some cracks and illegal stuff and is not looks good.

And yea is true

theres ways around getting it trouble like this from tv-links



but its too much hassle and they usually end up making a forum messy and so on

yeah, most forums ban people talking about illegal stuff... we have no coince but to obey thier rules.. ^^

OT. ^^ Veoh, tv link, free----, is nothing compared to Divx. ^^

I can't imagine SRF becoming the next first stop for warez =D

@ BlackFox: I bet you didn't read/understand what I wrote.

@ PrincessChei2x: I know we have to obey the rules but what I'm asking for is a change of the rules.

@ Itrbojevic: That's not what I'm asking for.

*waits for an mod to enter the topic*

really dont say the ...understand thing

You want have a thread dont you whit links there you can only click on it , well is only for you to google if you want have some illegal stuff . But even if some talk about it dont means some want have links in a forum or other website uh. BTW : can be virus and other bad stuff ,even on the links.
oh and

The temptation of getting software for free is sometimes seen as great, but you need to be reminded that this is theft.

Torrent Programs and Files

Mainly used over the internet to upload/ download large files such as movies, TV shows, full music albums, and program software.

BitTorrent Client Program is used for downloading torrents -- files or directories shared by internet and mobile users.

This client alone cannot be used for sharing your own files. It's intended for opening and downloading .torrent files.

You are stealing if you download commercial programs, movies, music or software.

Program Serial Numbers / CD Keys

It is illegal to give away or let other people use your CD Key. This is your proof of ownership and by sharing it you are allowing theft to occur.

Using keys that are found on crackz or serialz websites leave you open to investigation for theft. Many software programs send information ( such as your IP address ) to the copyright holder.

Copied and Pirated Software

A pirate copy of software (or warez) is genuine retail priced software which you can download and buy without paying for it. So to use it is classed as stealing from the owner. Just like you went into a high street shop and stole a TV etc.

Always buy from the copyright holder or an approved agent / distributor,

Crackz

Crackz are the illegal way of bypassing software protection which attempts to prevent software piracy.

A crack is basically a small program which allows you use software illegally. Using software in this way is also theft.

MP3's
MP3s are both legal and illegal. It is legal when the song's copyright holder has granted permission to download and play the song.
However it is illegal to distribute or trade MP3s without permission from the song's copyright holder. So downloading a song from the internet without the permission of the copyright owner, is completely illegal./

omfg blacky, still not understanding my point?

I KNOW its illegal BUT EVERYONE does it. It is ACCEPTED in REAL LIFE so why shall it be PROHIBITED in the INTERNET?

Pay attention to the words in caps.

oh so evryone do it, nope ........ hmm how can it be ACCEPTED when is illegal all know it ,but well you dont say you download a video from the internet to who made the film. if they see on the internet they can close the site and some other thing you want it ?Even if some talk about it dont means you can take it or is ACCEPTED from the owner.
i only mean is not good to have the links in here. Sry But so it is . well only wait and se what RyO /SG And other say of the mods. if they want it.

Look, i wasn't answering your post directly, i was just saying, i really can't see SRF being a place where people get their cracks and so on from.

And, to all you people who say it's illegal, it's illegal to download, it's illegal to host, but it's NOT illegal to post LINKS, the only reason rapidshare isn't sued for hosting warez is because they remove them when they are reported

ALSO, to the POSTER, thats like asking TSB** to add an SRO section, get my POINT?

Pay attention to the words in caps

I'm certainly not asking for a section lol. I'm not asking for a topic either. Just that people can post about it if they want to.

I agree with the link part, I don't see how SRF will get in trouble by posting links.

And what do you mean by TSB**?




@ Blackfox: You clearly don't know what I mean with "accepted".

Well, i don't think posting links to warez sites is allowed here, so i edited it a bit

But again, i say, thats like posting some SRO stuff in some warez websites, first you get flamed, called a nerdy noob, told to get a life, and then a mod deleted the topic ^_^

well ok explaine it not only write it. you know the word accepted can mean many things, (etc. my cat accepted my dog lol)

If you put it that way, yes.

But if someone post a Math topic or I love my sister topic they don't get flamed and I don't think anyone would flame me if I was searching for a certain movie or something.

Cept for Blackfox maybe.

you can download any game off the net for a 24 hour evaluation time you by law need to delete after then

you can download the game from the net as long as you own the game in rl even if its a old broken disk and you dont have the console to use it

im sure some of that applys to movies and music i dont know but i just thought it was relevant

Well for simpler reasons why we don't want warez flying around in SRF is because we'll have no way knowing if its really safe or not. So say if somebody post a crack or Photoshop or something, how do you or I know that its virus-free and even key-logger free? If and when you get hacked through the softwares you downloaded off here its SRF who you'll blame, you definitely wont' be blaming yourself like you would if you got it off Emule or something. These are the exact type of things we don't want to see here.

In the past we've had some people post "useful" and "fun" little programs they've made, and it looked harmless. It wasn't even a bot or anything related to SRO game play. Turns out it was a keylogger and its done us some damage.

This is a game forum where people come to talk about SRO, among with other community related things. I'm sure a lot of us download pirated mp3s, books, comics, mangas, animes and softwares. You may keep those resources to yourself and go to the appropriate sites for that purpose. As for here we don't want any resource-sharring here.

I hope I explained it alright, is there anything else you want me to clear about?

i agree if i want cracks i go to other sites here is different
