A reminder - piracy content - prae5 - 2013-12-25 As per our forum rules (wiki), we do not support nor do we permit linking to / addons that link to pirated content. This includes addons that link directly to pirated content and providing links to pirated content; be it providing direct links or by passing xml files containing this content. We had hoped users would respect our wishes in this respect and self police themselves, however a small group of users has taken advantage of this. This has included passing of links to piracy content via pm and recently profiteering. Due to this we will be taking a much harsher stance on this and will now take a much more proactive stance on removing dubious content. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not permit
In summary, if we feel the content source is dubious then posts / threads will be deleted. This may seem excessive, however a small group have taken advantage of our previously soft moderation policy and have consequently lead to this decision. If we feel that streams / content / content sources that are being linked to are questionable, we will assume that they contain piracy content and removed. The onus will be on the poster to prove that they are legitimate – we do not have the time to check every single source. In the first instance posting of this content will get a warning, repeated posting will get a ban. We are aware that some users will be unhappy with this, however our stance on this is final. If you want to link to / provide this kind of content then there are plenty of other places that you can do this. RE: A reminder - piracy content - crusader88 - 2013-12-25 I'm still not understanding. Where are these illegal links please post a example. I'm sick and tired of these sayings. All we are doing is helping people. Please provide an example. That livestream addon is full of wonderful information.... No need to delete it RE: A reminder - piracy content - amet - 2013-12-25 deal with it ... you know very well where they are.. you are responsible for a lot of them. this is not open for discussion nor is this democracy, if you dont like it take it somewhere else please. RE: A reminder - piracy content - prae5 - 2013-12-25 crusader88 I have explained this to you on at least one occasion in the past after removing one of your threads. Whilst we appreciate that you feel like you are offering help and providing a service users want, its not something we want to take place on our forums. If this is something you want to do, then as stated about there are plenty of other places for you to do that. We will not tolerate this any longer. Consider this to be the last warning on this matter. RE: A reminder - piracy content - bhatti00 - 2013-12-25 so basically anything that is broadcast is pirated content as no one has obtained permission from the copyright holder. hmmm team xbmc what have you started? RE: A reminder - piracy content - prae5 - 2013-12-25 No its quite simple. Linking to piracy content isn't permitted here. Its as simple as that. We choose not to have it on our forums - if that doesn't work for you, you are welcome to do it else where.

There is broadcasted content that isn't piracy. Prove it for those and it will be allowed. This is nothing new but we are now going to enforce it more strongly. RE: A reminder - piracy content - bhatti00 - 2013-12-25 so if someone was to create an addon for like lets say bbc iplayer that would be ok as it is not a pirate source? but if it was content such as a new movie then it could be deleted as it isn't legit?

I understand the concept of what you are trying to spell out. RE: A reminder - piracy content - prae5 - 2013-12-25 I'm not being heated, I'm simply trying to make things as clear as I can. If people want to do it, I have no objections with that - you are free to do what you want with XBMC, however that doesn't mean we will support or permit it here.

You can always start your own forum and make your own rules. RE: A reminder - piracy content - crusader88 - 2013-12-25 (2013-12-25, 22:19)nickr Wrote: Crusader, when in Rome and all that...

Quite clearly that would be considered pirate content. RE: A reminder - piracy content - Martijn - 2013-12-25 And DO NOT start posting links to other sites here!
