Guy Berger Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 While I am sympathetic to the general rule of "no bootleg links" on this board, this seems to be an overly zealous application of that rule. I don't see the difference, a bootleg is a bootleg and the rule here is "no linking bootlegs", period. No exceptions. There's nothing zealous about it. Yes... but someone reading this thread can pretty quickly go to amazon, do a search and get it anyway. Aside from imposing a miniscule cost on the reader, delinking achieves little. Furthermore, one of the main reasons for preventing links to bootlegs - protecting the owners of this site - is not germane here. Anyway, either way, not really a big deal. Guy Quote
JSngry Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 IIRC, the original rule was put in place to deal with the trading/posting of live shows, then later to blogged versions of copyrighted material. Quote
