A friendly reminder about sharing content

[CrankieMonster]

It's for that very reason I have left the PM system here disabled, as no doubt I'm sure you recommended to Kate during its initial setup. I have no current plans to change that (Although if I find a way of locking it down to messaging administrators only, I may try and at least do that).

I'm well aware copyright laws, including fair use are much different to this sort of material than anything else, but quite frankly, I have never felt that the open discussion nature of a forum should be impeded by attempts to curb content piracy. There may very well be people that sign up with the intention of sharing content unlawfully - I hope that's not the case, but it probably will be at some stage.

However, minus the PM system they will need to carry things out in open forum and at this stage, this forum isn't large enough for new posts that might contain such to escape my notice.

As of now it's largely academic as pretty much the only person that's shared content in here is myself. If you are unhappy for anything related to PTP to appear on here, just say the word, and a blanket restriction on posting material from you will be in place. Any other webmasters have the right to do the same. Deterring webmasters through sharing risks is the last thing we wanted when setting this up, we want to try and keep on your good sides
