May i post websites' names, from where, the members can LISTEN to music ONLINE? From where they CANNOT download music...like sites that provide .ram songs?(or from rstp:// thingys)

(This is an honest question. Please dont get mad or something...)

The reason i'm asking is because of Rule No:5 of the Forum RULES

----"Do not post links to copyrighted material in public. Also do not post topics advertising or requesting any kind of copyrighted material. If you want to share music/files, do so in private."----

Refering to "Do not post links to copyrighted material in public. Also do not post topics advertising or requesting any kind of copyrighted material."

Well, this seems kinda strange considering we have an entire 'For Sale/Wanted' topic/thread or whatever ....on sale of records, cds, vinyls,etc.....which DO happen to be Copyrighted material.....

"Confused"

Thanks
Vince

The rule refers to online material.

Physical items shouldn't be confused as it can surely never be illegal to sell legally purchased items.

If the website you link to has legally allowed and record company sanctioned music/files then feel free to link to it. If it's in any way unclear as to whether the site in question is allowed to use the files it hosts then it should not be linked to in public via these forums.

The reason for this rule is simple - We don't want record companies suing us because the forum linked to illegal downloads.

Hope that helps.
