RE: Metamorphose Message Board thread: http://metamorphose.org/thread/show.htp?threadid=17514&page=8&se0=thread&se1=show
Post # 160
I'm dragging this issue out of that thread, as it looks to be
veering off the main the topic. Related, but not directly about.
@cj, did I miss something? As I told You
,"... I didnt public ANY DIRECT links to ANY existing digital
files, especially copyrighted works..."
What for you repeat again and again that
"...the Posting Guidelines state that DIRECT links to COMPLETE
copyrighted works are not permitted here..."??
I am not talking about post #126, I don't remember I asked you to
reinstant it.
I have no idea if you missed something or not. I was just trying to
ensure that I did not.
As you noticed right, I asked you:
"You should check it out before accusing anybody of violating
rules."
As you know, as you can see at post #150 over my you wrote:
"Message deleted by cj. Link to copyrighted works. You all should
know better. Please read site FAQ page."
later, at post you told:
"I'm also locking this thread to guest posters. Repeated abuse of
Linking to Complete Copyrighted works."
I cant understand, which direct URL to witch "copyrighted work" or
either witch digital file I posted there, at post #150? Have you
another info than that I told you at my post #155? Don't you wish
to delete post #155? - I provided all URLs there that I provided at
my post #150, even more.
Repeated attempts to link to MediaFire content after posts were
removed.
Whether those linked files are deleted now or not is immaterial.
You started by posting one (or was it two) links in a post that
CLEARLY inferred that they were to a DVD rip of the complete movie.
I'm a volunteer here, I use my free time to help keep this site
from running afoul.. If you tell me that a link is to something
that would "violate the rules" - I'll remove it without checking.
What exactly were you REPEATEDLY trying to post a link to?
- Nothing - If that's the case - You can suck a damn egg, and you're
on my crap-list. :-P And it doesn't really matter why the heck I
removed the posed links, as they were off-topic.
- Clips - Why didn't you say so? Or better yet, load them up to
YouTube.
- Complete Copyrighted Work - You had already inferred that you were
trying to share a DVD rip in a previous post - You never clarified
or questioned the removals subsequently. Well, until after I locked
the thread for 24 hours (give or take).
Did I mention that we VOLUNTEER our time here - and sometimes it
takes quite a bit of it. Also that one of our goals is to keep the
place from being shut down and/or fined by copyright holders -
again, read the site's FAQ page.
Yes, I did lock the thread for awhile. I didn't have all day to
keep checking and removing threads, and I'm sure that the other
Trusted Users probably didn't either. It was a time-out period for
anyone trying to post links to the complete movie... and a breather
for those of us who try to keep the place free from those links.
So, again what exactly were you repeatedly trying to link to? Why
are you so fixated on this issue?
Ah I forgot to provide one more URL that I provided at my post
#150:
HTTPS://WWW.MediaFire.Com:443/download/Id.
"In post 150, you tried to obscure the particulars of the link. I
didn't bother doing the math to figure out the link. Why would you
even do this if the link wasn't questionable or in violation to
begin with?"
I posted what I posted to make it clear out of any illicit.
What? That doesn't make sense to me... was the final URL (after
solving the math) linking to a significant portion of the
copyrighted material? If it was, then it IS
illicit. If it was not illicit, then why the need to obscure the
link URL?
What it boils down to is this:
If you are going to link to content, don't obfuscate the link.
There is NO LOGICAL REASON to obscure parts of a link... unless
you're trying to hide or conceal something... and what would that
be? That the link is to something that would run against the spirit
of this site? Be honest, and help us make this a better place.
There are ton of places where one can indulge in helping others
obtain UNAUTHORIZED complete copyrighted works. THIS IS NOT ONE OF
THOSE PLACES! And yes, you will see those places named from time to
time here. Just not links to any copyrighted material. Those other
places will have a forum or search to help you.
Now, if you want to share information on where to get them LEGALLY
/ LEGITIMATELY... or if you want to share CLIPS (or other "Fair
Use" parts) of the title. Then by all means, please share away.
You've been here long enough, and with several posts previously.
Don't take any of this personally, I'm not on some vendetta against
you. I'd do the same thing if it was anyone else... just as the
other Trusted Users would do to any of my posts if I did the same
thing.
I hope that this helps answer some of you questions. If you have
any more, or need me to further clarify anything, let me know.

"Related, but not directly about."
Should read, "Related, but not directly about the OP."

"@cj, so, did I brake any existing rules twice posting this
thread?"
I'm not sure what you mean.
Never mind. I've already removed the posts that I felt were (at the
time) "breaking the rules"... I've seen no further "violations",
yet. Though, without formatting, that long one was a bit hard to
read.
To answer your earlier question... RE: re-instating the posts of
your I removed earlier. I will try to re-check them when I get some
time later today.

Post 150 of that referenced thread will NOT be reinstated. The
link, when you put it together is for a torrent. That torrent is
nearly 4 GB in size. That's not a "Fair Use" clip of material at
that size, that would be a significant portion if not the complete
video the copyrighted material.
While that link is not a direct
link to the copyrighted material (as "prohibited" by the Posting
Guidelines)... it is a link that goes against the spirit of the
site owner's wishes, as addressed in this site's FAQ page.
If other Trusted Users feel that I am in error here, I'm sure that
they'll speak up and let me know.

An obfuscated link to copyrighted work is still a link to
copyrighted work. The intent of the poster was clear and was in
opposition to the site policy of prohibiting such links. Sometimes
ya gotta be the bad guy and remove links like that - personally I
think it was the correct action.

To simplify.
The existence of this catalog,so kindly provided and moderated for
free, overcomes the simple need of viewing, or sharing, one video,
in an illegal way.
The message board is simply a bonus.
A way we can interact anonimously.
Relax, take it easy and respect the rules.
don't take this site for granted.
=)
