These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

Received: 2007-07-18 03:19:28 Subject: DMCA Notification Notice ID: ****THIS IS WHAT MY ISP RECEIVED ABOUT ME -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Re: Unauthorized Use of NBC Universal Properties Notice ID: 18 Jul 2007 02:20:46 GMT Dear Sir or Madam: Please be advised that NBC Universal and/or its subsidiary and affiliated companies (collectively, NBC Universal) are the owners of exclusive rights protected under copyright law and other intellectual property rights in many motion pictures and television programs, including the title(s) listed below (the NBC Universal Properties). NBC Universal diligently enforces its rights in its motion pictures. It has come to our attention that Optimum Online (Cablevision Systems) is the service provider for the IP address listed below, from which unauthorized copying and distribution (downloading, uploading, file serving, file "swapping" or other similar activities) of the NBC Universal Property or Properties listed below, or portion(s) thereof, is taking place. We believe that the Internet access of the user engaging in this infringement is provided by Optimum Online (Cablevision Systems) or a downstream service provider who purchases this connectivity from Optimum Online (Cablevision Systems). This unauthorized copying and distribution constitutes copyright infringement under Section 106 of the U.S. Copyright Act. Depending upon the type of service Optimum Online (Cablevision Systems) is providing to this IP address, it may have legal and/or equitable liability if it does not expeditiously remove or disable access to the motion picture(s) listed below, or if it fails to implement a policy that provides for termination of subscribers who are repeat infringers (see 17 U.S.C. 512). Despite the above, NBC Universal believes that the entire Internet community benefits when these matters are resolved cooperatively. We urge you to take immediate action to stop this infringing activity and inform us of the results of your actions. We appreciate your efforts toward this common goal. The undersigned has a good faith belief that use of the NBC Universal Property or Properties in the manner described herein is not authorized by NBC Universal, its agent or the law. The information contained in this notification is accurate. Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of NBC Universal with respect to this matter.

| Yea, I think the letter that you recieved is more of a scare tactic. Just lay low for awhile and seriously check into PG2, Thats the BLUE link in post #2 Phoenix Labs. This will block millions of bad IP's from getting to your computer. Hope this helps |

| Thanks for the info, but I do not think I will take a chance with anything for awhile. What I do not understand is that I have a router, so I thought my IP is sort of scrambled. Also, I read somewhere that I might find a log and find out who accessed my pc on 7/15/07 at the time mentioned in the letter. Any idea how I can find this out? |

| Going back to PG2, as I have above several times I know will generate Logs. Other than that I'm not sure where any other Logs might be generated and saved. I am giving you a Link to take a look at about others that are in your situation. Copyright Infringement - Phoenix Labs |

| 1. Sorry for you that you are having these problems. 2. Unless I have missed something in all of the above, the message to you was in reference to your sharing activities. "...we have received notification from one or more owners of copyrights claiming that their work has been transmitted over the Internet from your account without their permission." No mention was made re: your downloading. I am not sure of the current state of 'play' in your area regarding Downloading... In many places Downloading is NOT illegal... Uploading IS. 3. Remember, LimeWire is only one of numerous Gnutella Network clients... It would be incorrect to assume that there is any specific 'fault' attributible to LimeWire. Further, the Gnutella Network is still one of the 'safest' methods of public p2p, if not the safest. 4. Consider doing what I, and many others do... Share eBooks. No music or movies or apps... Just books. Nobody out there seems to care about those who are sharing eBooks... Except the 100s and 100s of 1,000s of folks who love them and D/L them all day ! If you would like some info and tips re: finding and sharing eBooks, let me know. Don't quit p2p !
