OK, moving this thread to the KK...and keeping it there this time.
may i remind you that this thread was originally intended just for fun and to share some different styles of music people listen to, so other people could get new interest in different kinds of music....and not to post raise the postcount or 'share' their music collection on their own servers....
thank you and enjoy

were you referring to squiggy posting a link? if so, doesn't it contradict your previous statement regarding the purpose of the thread?
since music is an audial art it becomes rather difficult to interest others in it without allowing them to hear it, it can be conveyed to people in other ways but not nearly as effectively. example, try explaining a painting to someone in writing as perfectly as if they were in the same room looking at it. It's not merely difficult but impossible.
in a medium such as this it becomes especially difficult since it's not feasible for me to hop on over to squiggy's place to listen to this song, hence file-sharing. maybe i'm reading your statement wrong or reading too much into it, if i have i appologize. i don't think it was either squiggy's, or my intention to turn the forum into file-swapping forum, notice that he didn't link to the entire album, just a track so other's can understand and share his enthusiasm for an artist.

I do however understand moving the thread, I'd say it qualifies as

discussion of warez and certainly the posting of links to illegal activities such as copyright infringement, as would be covered by the distribution of tracks, are violations of the aup of this board.
be aware that if it continues then this thread is likely to be locked and/or deleted.

sharing songtitles isn't against the aup....sharing files that infringe copyright is....
that was quite clear imo...so, there is no contradiction in my previous statement, because there is a difference between sharing and sharing...perhaps i should have made that more clear...
what you do outside the boards isn't of our concern, as long as you stick to the rules that are around here, as described in the aup...and like ris said, if they keep being violated in this thread, it will be closed...

conceeding the fact that the said file probably constitutes infringement, is there an appropriate way for the purpose of this thread (interesting other members in new music) to be fullfilled? Wouldn't other methods such as saying "Contact me off-list" or the actual purpose of the thread
I'm not trying to pin the blame for infringement legislation on the collective leadership of OTC, in fact, I understand their predicament completely, I just don't appreciate being chewed a new one publicly without much of an explaination or recommendations for future actions, which in this case might be how to appropiately fullfill the stated goals of this thread, which I obviously don't know. Not to mention that I enjoy playing devil's advocate.
i think that's what i was thinking.

also constitute a violation of the aup since it wouldLastLegionary said:
I know I wouldn't purchase music based solely on someone's word, recommendation, or description, and I'm willing to bet that most other people would agree. This is where I see the usefulness in file-sharing, a try before I buy mentality. And if there is no acceptable way for the purpose of this thread to occur would it not make sense to lock and/or delete it right now?aup 4-7 said:
