I should also add that these initial secrets of mine are still active.
thanks

Hi all,
My mod hat is off for the moment but just as a heads up we might have to examine some of these on the list and think about where we stand eventually, that's what it's going to come down to. Now, here's the thing: because of the way bt sync works, once someone knows a folder key, I think it should be their responsibility. It's not like you guys are directly linking to an http website with stuff on it, yet at the same time, you've made this key available and it's another way to get to content. It could be considered a fine line, and I must confess I don't exactly know what the final decision is going to be.

It depends on what the folder contains.

The one on this thread is obvious, I for example have shared keys in the past containing harry potter fanfiction.

Those can easily be found on the internet.

The same thing would have to go for dropbox folders people have shared.

You don't know what the folders contain, unless someone is brave enough to download the folder and let us know, or the user sharing said folder tells you what they're sharing.

It's like the whole torrents are bad because most people use it for piracy.

That may be the case, but torrents were originally meant to transfer a large amount of data quickly, even facebook uses it.

83 has a point. The risk of any of these companies actually coming down on us is extremely small. Their'd be literally nothing for them to gain. They'd gain less money if they were to go through it than they spent on going through with it in the first place.

@85, Fair enough.

note that for the folders you can't actually impiricly varify what is in them without joining, moreover you aren't posting links to actually infringing matterial, as the keys aren't server  links, and the content of any folder could change at any time. Best would be to put aclause in the rules that says that the mods don't accept responsibility for any content in shared keys etc.

Agree with all the points above.

With that being said - have some royalty free music - all in mp3 format. Note that I take no responsibility for the files contained within. The best course of action for those curious about what is inside would likely be to use either an iPhone or android to check before you download said content to a computer or similar. Also note that this folder isn't and likely won't be too huge - and I urge you, if you can, to support said artists in this folder as much as possible.

I don't know why the mods are so paranoid about this. They should just make a DMCA form on their website where a copyright holder can report abuse and only remove what's reported. That would make them comply with legal regulations and make users less angry. It's not even obvious if they need to remove links after reporting if they're just links, not material directly hosted on their servers. Some say they don't, but just to be on the safer side, links should be deleted but only after a verified report from a copyright holder like the way most serious websites do it. If it comes to that, I might eventually need to make a website for uncensored sharing of all materials and content that complies with legal requirements but whose admins AKA future me do absolutely nothing unless legally forced to. Speaking about the folders, it would be nice if someone could give us a folder with just the described stuff, perhaps separating this one tv  folder into two smaller ones. Especially for folx living outside US/UK, getting nondescribed stuff in that way doesn't make any sense. Nondescribed stuff is pretty easy to find, either legally or illegally and available legally in most countries. Audiodescription is a different story, though. Most of it is not available legally in one country, some of it is US only, some is UK only etc. People living in non-english speaking countries have absolutely no way of getting to it at all, except the stuff on Netflix etc. That's why for such people, sources like bmmv or this folder are the only option. In other words, nondescribed content is easy to find and nothing special, while described is rare and should be available separately.

Hi,
Regarding described and undescribed content, the folders have been this way for so long that it makes no sense to change it. Resilio sync has a selective sync on mobile devices, which means that if people did want the described content without the undescribed, they can still get it.

As far as undescribed content being nothing special, you must not have actually taken a look at just how much content is on offer there otherwise you wouldn't be posting something like that.
