This should be fixed by the new installer, no? (Deployed around the time of

[freenet-support] Piracy will not be tolerated

Thanks for your detailed bug report. However, based on your graph, which 
contains clear evidence of copyright infringement (there *is* legal music on 
Freenet, but the Thaw instance shown includes stuff that is almost certainly 
not legal), you have just earned a permanent ban from the support list. Because 
of this I will not be able to act on any of the issues you mentioned, as this 
would be equivalent to providing tech support to known pirates. Please go away 
and don't come back.

Sorry folks, but PIRACY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

This policy is the result of MGM vs Grokster, where the Supreme Court of the 
United States of America found the defendant guilty because amongst other 
reasons, it provided technical support to people it knew to be engaged in 
copyright infringement. The EFF's peer to peer advice is not to provide tech 
support at all, but IMHO this is more or less impossible for an open source 
project. See here:
http://www.eff.org/wp/iaal-what-peer-peer-developers-need-know-about-copyright-law

Freenet Project Inc is incorporated in the USA under Californian law. I have a 
responsibility not to get them into legal trouble, although I am based in 
England.

Wow, that's a bit...extreme. I mean there's a _huge_ difference
between refusing to give someone support, which may or may not be
legal, and completely banning them. I mean just because _you_ can't
help him doesn't mean nobody else on this list can. Way to alienate a
rather significant percentage of the user base.

Welcome to the USA. You need to be very careful these days in regard to 
any discussion of file sharing. There are many legal pitfalls and many 
with deep pockets just looking for an opportunity to sue. Like it or not 
email lists are not a place to discuss illegal activities whether you 
agree with the law or not.

Hah, I don't really need a welcome, I've been here my whole life :)

And he wasn't using the email list to discuss illegal activities, he
was using the email list to get support for Freenet - exactly what it
is here for.

Re: [freenet-support] Piracy will not be tolerated

2009-11-07 Thread Mike Cook
Sorry, I was just trying to point out that some consider any mention of 
sharing copyrighted material, however fleeting, as proof positive that 
the whole purpose of the development of a technology is to "steal" their 
"intellectual property" . Personally I think the whole notion of 
copyright has gotten a little out of hand recently. I just was 
suggesting people should try to edit themselves on a public email list 
and try to avoid possible legal issues. Maybe a total ban was a bit 
extreme, perhaps a warning would have sufficed, but I'm not really 
familiar with all of the legal implications. Have a good day
