Also the host of a site is not responsible or liable for what the
public posts on their open message board. I'm sorry Paul but you
created a site where information is shared to inform people of
specific media they have an interest in knowing full well the media
would be sought out and wanted. The responsible thing to do is just
put a disclaimer stating you take no responsibility for information
shared on your site. This is what most websites do to protect
themselves and their sites

hskfmn, I've made valid points that you and the other
moderators/host seem to be clearly missing. Please read it again
but take a little more time and read thoroughly and try to be
logical about it

23 comments. Stop. Don't feed the trolls.
Respect Paul's rules for the board he hosts. It isn't about what he
can be criminally charged with. It is what he wants for his board.

Holly Dunn I think you need to learn the definition of the term
"troll" because right now, that's clearly "you" if you have nothing
constructive to add to the topic please don't post

Jc, you seem to have NOT read the entire FAQ
page. Please do so before you post again.
"... I've made valid points..."
No. Actually, you have not. You have provided no hard evidence to
support your position.
I challenge you to GIVE PROOF to support ALL of your statements
that the copyright holders and law enforcement will not target host
sites and/or direct links to infringed copyrighted media.
"... the host of a site is not responsible or liable for what the
public posts on their open message board..."
"... The responsible thing to do is just put a disclaimer stating
you take no responsibility for information shared on your site..."
You seem to misunderstand how the law works as well. A disclaimer
doesn't negate a web host's responsibility
to prevent copyright (or other legal) violations - just ask
YouTube (or Napster, KaZaA, isoHunt, and so on). The responsible
thing to do... is exactly what this site's Trusted Users
(Moderators) have been doing (and will continue to do) for years.
Regardless of all this legal quagmire... YOU
are still missing the point. It is NOT your
website, and this isn't a democracy. The rules are clear, they
have been for years. The owner doesn't want the links... this is
his site... the links he doesn't want, WILL be removed. You CANNOT post direct links to complete copyrighted works here
(unless they are to a host site approved by the copyright holder).
PERIOD.

I'm fairly certain Jc is a troll; the sort of person who walks into
a restaurant clad in a T-shirt and sandals but nothing else,
demanding to be served since he's complying with the exact letter
of "no shirt, no shoes, no service". As such, the following is
intended for those who are here for constructive discussion, rather
than nihilistic vandalism.
Imagine Paul, the site's operator, as your super chill neighbor who
has a home theater, a swimming pool, and a well-stocked beer
fridge, and Metamorphose is like his house. Now, suppose your
neighbor isn't OK with illegal drugs- maybe he just hates the smell
of pot- but that's one of the few rules he has when he invites you
over. If you barge into his house, light up a bong, and spew out
more smoke than Krakatoa, you're just being an arsehole, regardless
of your personal views on legalization. Likewise for sharing
copyrighted content. If you want to find pirated stuff, just get a
torrent client and follow the magnet links you can find on
thepiratebay, kickass torrents, or any of a dozen other trackers.
Hell, it's even easier to find stuff if you shell out for a Usenet
subscription. The internet is rife with digital opium dens and
black markets for all your nefarious needs; no need to darken the
door of Metamorphose with such things. Just my 2 cents on the
matter. ;)

cj I know enough about the law and the Internet to know that what
I've stated is factually true. I'm not going to sit here and waste
my time getting into perfect detail with you on that. Public
Message boards are open threads that where things of this nature
should be freely talked about. Trolling and abuse on the other hand
are completely different. I've made my points and I stand by them
and shall continue to do so firmly. If you wish to disagree that's
fine. Everyone is entitled to form their own own opinions and
beleifs. I don't agree with yours,
However I won't sit here as you are trying to tell you how wrong I
believe you as as you're doing toward me. I've spoken my mind and
his is simply how I feel on the subject. I'm not going to sit here
and continue to argue. That's for 10 year olds. And quite frankly I
simply don't have the time for it on my busy work schedule and
tending to my children and other more important life issues.

Jc, I would like nothing better than to stop the to-and-fro and
move on with more important things.
You are certainly entitled to your opinions and beliefs... I just
hope that you are willing to respect and abide by the rules and
guidelines laid out by the site's owner. You may not agree with
them, that is certainly your right, but we do require you follow
them to the best of your (and our) ability while you are here.
Thank you.

CJ you were a lot cooler when you had
your own site. Remember the days......?

Guest007 - You might be thinking of another CJ. I've always stood
upon the shoulders of giants.

LOL Since when this turn into a chat thread about posting freedom?
I imagine this website as a bunch of people hunch over their
computer searching for TG pr0n and this came up from nowhere, I am
really amused. Also, you are not hosting them, your guests are the
one posting them, I don't think you can be responsible for them.
