Anti-Piracy Warning

[Rhon]

The graphic you see on this page--the FBI's Anti-Piracy Warning Seal--was specifically created to deter illegal practice and to increase public awareness of the penalties associated with piracy.

Why? Because piracy of media and other commercial goods causes huge losses to the U.S. economy each yearand it's American consumers who are paying the price.

Where will the seal (and all statements that say "FBI Anti-Piracy Warning") appear? On a lot of different kinds of goodssubject to the terms of licensing agreements. But right now, we're just getting started.

As of December 2005, the FBI has authorized use of the FBI Anti-Piracy seal and warning by members of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), subject to each member entering into a formal Uniform Authorization Agreement. Association members should contact the MPAA, RIAA, SIIA, or ESA for more information.

Now we are evaluating the licensing arrangements we have with members of these associations with a view towards permitting the broadest possible public use of the seal by all individuals and businesses with a copyright interest. Please check this web page periodically for updates on the status of this initiative.

In the meantime, it is perfectly fine for anyone, without FBI approval, to use the following generic language on material protected under U.S. copyright law: "Warning: The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000."

Basically I am not allowing any posts of warez bit torrent p2p sharing or any other kind of illegal action on this forum. Do you want to pay the fine and go to jail? Do you want gladz shut down? Didn't think so, so don't post it or it will be immediately HIDDEN and warning may come into effect.

Do not ask for any type of illegal programs by posting or asking for them to PM it to you, or for them to PM you for it. Even in PM you can still hold yourself and gladz accountable for federal crimes. I will take note of who is asking and telling after deleting the topic, I will warn you due to the nature of the offence.

NOTE: A leak of a beta product is not illegal, as long as you aren't activating it or using it under illegal means...
