A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

FTR I had the same thought as Wolfram when I read that...
We're programmed to avoid absolutes. Sometimes.
What is the difference in legality between torrents/downloads of television shows and the tape thread (which sometimes includes episodes burned on DVD)?
There are many ways to skin that cat, and as long as most of them are legal I'd say the tape tree is fine. I'd get nervous if folks were specifically asking other folks to download shows or burn copies of DVDs for them.

Well, yeah. If things were undoubtedly illegal, what the hell use would we be?
I mean, conjecturally.
Torrentspy files to dismiss MPAA charges

Torrentspy is not accused of actual copyright infringement but of helping such infringments to happen. It operates a website which acts as a search engine for BitTorrent files - it does not host such files and claims to obey requests made by rights holders to remove links to copyright files.
Would some kind Stompy change my username to SuziQ? Yes, this will be my third board name. I'm just flighty like that.
You should put your previous user name in your tag to lessen the confusion.
(maidengurl, right?)
Yeah, I have no idea who you originally were, AND IT'S FREAKING ME OUT.
Heya! This is my first time over here. I was a long time TT'er, a refugee for the past couple of years.
I sent an email to the admins here asking about the software you're using. I thought it might have wound up in the bit bucket, and just wanted to make sure.
In any event, thanks for the site.
Hi, DH! No, the e-mail was received and read. I, at least, haven't had a chance to think about it with clarity yet. Are you pressed for time?
