NeoWin Forums encourage illegal activity...


Recommended Posts

Neowin Community Rules

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No Spamming: Threads that only advertise an alternative to Neowin will be deleted

No Warez (links) or Cracks: These kinds of posts are not tolerated here

No Pornography: We cater from ages 13 and up, show some respect for this

No Racism, No Threatening, No Victimization or otherwise Hateful posts

But steal an icon set, illegally use someones copyrighted material, and they encourage it 100%.

People are even selling these converted sets, which is a Federal offense, and NeoWin is helping by allowing these people to interact and advertise.

I'm tired of it. Tired of the disrespect. Even if it wasn't illegal, it's just wrong.

So if you rip people off, f*ck you.

I have to agree with you 100%

Anyway, I think that the proper way to complain is by asking the board administrators to explicity put those rules in they terms dont you think?

well just my opinion

Users here just convert mac icons to win icons. I am guessing your talking about MM-Icons ? If so, yes the person who converted the icons on this board did get permission.

And the person who you SAY is selling icons is not making profit, he is just charging users the blank cd price and filling it with icons.

Edit:

If you ever want to make yourself heard, dont use lang like you did.

deadzombie.. since when are we parents eh?

I would like to see proof of ANY moderator "encouraging" theft on these forums. If this is the case then it will be dealt with. but don't come here and start accusing us of failing to babysit our members habits.

People DO steal from others, Neowin will not change that trend nor encourage it.

This post is lame beyond words. any sane person would PM a mod or admin with a complaint (which I do not have)

How do we encourage it 100%?

Where does it say 'please steal someone elses icon set and sell it for a profit'.

We let people interact (about almost everything) yes but that's it. How are we to know what is yours and what is theirs?

It's their word against yours. I'm not about to go and investigate every icon offer just to see if it's 'legal' or not.

Regarding the rules if someone offers Photoshop for money and posts a download link we know it must be illegal (the no warez rule). It's different with icons.
