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. |

 How RIAA can get you using Limewire When you try to download a file from LimeWire it gives you the option to open up a chat window with the person you are downloading the file from. This window identifies the person by their IP address. It seems to me that the RIAA could get you for song swapping this way. Any thoughts about this?  |

| jimmyhyatt Whenever you go on the internet your IP address is logged on the servers you surf and, likewise, on the P2P PCs you download from or upload to. The RIAA can capture your IP address if you come to their notice. Stay below their radar. UK Bob |

| also don't get the risk out of proportion from normal everyday ones, that most of us seem oblivious to. Saftey in numbers plays a part. After all, the lions don't get all te gazell do they? |

| I guess what I dont understand is why is Limewire so popular if the RIAA can do to it exactly what they did to Napster? It just seems inevitable that they will issue lawsuits on Limewire and then it will get shut down... |

| I think that jimmyhyatt has missed a main point and that is LW, as an application, is perfectly legal to buy/download and use. The illegality comes in if you use it to download and redistribute copyright material without any recompense to the copyright owners. I believe the point Peerless is making is that Napster could, by using it’s administrative control over it’s central server, stop it’s users from distributing copyright material. It did not do that so it was legally clobbered. LW, because of the nature of P2P, has no control over what you or I do with our PCs, i.e. what products we have and share, so LW, as a company, cannot be held liable for the use we put their product to. In other words, P2P is about communication and sharing if P2P users then abuse this great tool then we have no one to blame but ourselves when the wolves come knocking. On a more practical level, if by some means the LW software was no longer being developed users of existing installed LW and other Gnutella apps would still have a non-centralised network to use.

| Hi UKBob and everyone else!! First off I love the posts of your's, UK Bob, that I have come accross in my searches for help. They have been helpful as well as MANY others. I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS!!!!!!!!!! Just a quick question. I am on the infringing side of p2p. Not much though, just a little. That said wondering if you have furthur advice for "staying below their radar", other then just not using Limwwire for what I came for: some music and movies. ~ The Excuse for not buying instead: I'm very poor, I work ALL the time, but I don't have a car or a tv (don't want either) and have only bought two cds in my life, no videos/DVDs and I never rent them either. Luckily I very mysteriously qualified for a credit card a year ago, which I then almost stupidly and promptly maxed out to buy the puter and pay rent ~ oops, that's one of many mistakes/reasons I'm so poor (other then sadly being a wage slave, who happens to be trying to get free of that kind of almost miserable lifestyle). Peace |

| Staying Below the Radar Hi wildflower Glad you like my posts, I try to help out where I can. Anyway, as for your question is concerned, you will get both of us into trouble if I advise you on ways to avoid detection by the authorities or copyright representatives (RIAA and MPAA). However, if you protect PC from spyware, viruses and all the other dangers that are out there, with the necessary protective software (which is now a necessity), then your PC will be harder but not impossible to compromise. And always remember wherever you go on the internet your IP address is left behind on every server or PC that you visit. UK Bob |
