..and never claimed to be otherwise, but can someone give me the jist of what this whole MP3 thing is?<br><br>I mean, I read Stan's post but I'm afraid I got too behind in MCF to dig up just what the heck all the fuss was about.<br><br>[color:red]Hold on...it's time for a</font color=red><br>

Don't post MP3 files of commercial music here... the legal issues are to blame. You can use a song in the background of a video, but don't post it here where anyone on the net can simply download it (as in Napster). <br><br>[color:red] Kiss My Banana!</font color=red><br>Visit me here!

And people are upset that we can't?<br><br>Seems like that issue was going to surface sooner or later ANYWAY...<br><br>After all, I'm sure we wouldn't want MCF or MM shut down over this...<br><br>[color:red]Hold on...it's time for a</font color=red><br>

I'm not exactly sure WHY people are upset... some probably that they can't post them, some are upset at Akula for even bringing it up to begin with, and some (like me) are upset that a simple little thing that really wasn't that big of a deal to begin with got turned into such a big [censored]-storm!<br><br>[color:red] Kiss My Banana!</font color=red><br>Visit me here!

Why did people have to post entire songs on a message board anyway?<br><br>If I wanted someone to hear a sample of a new song I was digging, I'd send em' over to the page on Amazon or CDnow with the RealPlayer clips...<br><br>And I was into trading MP3's online, I CERTAINLY wouldn't do it in the public space of a forum or otherwise...<br><br>IMHO, Akula just seems like he enjoys being the rain on the proverbial parade all the time anyway...<br><br>[color:red]Hold on...it's time for a</font color=red><br>

For me its the principle.<br>MM is not to bad when it comes to MP3s in fact its way less here then over at MC. There was a few that would do daily posting of songs, that is a bit much but as usual it comes in spirts sooner then later they would stop and move on to something else.<br><br>Its one of those things that is better left unsaid. If RIAA or others felt so concerend about it they would have sent a warning to MC and MM asking them to stop the pratice. Thats when MM or MC would have then ban the postings. That is to say IF they would ever send the warnings. After all there is sites like LimeWire that is blantant sharing.<br><br>Its their boards we have to follow their rules.<br><br>

Yeah, I hear ya.<br><br>If it was something I did and people said I couldn't, it would cheese me off too...<br><br>Just seems like anyone who feels they have to 'report us' or bring the issue to the board moderator's attention is akin to the kid back in gradeschool who reminded the teacher that we didn't get our homework yet...<br><br>Rock on!<br><br>[color:red]Hold on...it's time for a</font color=red><br>
