Commodore Scotland Under Threat...

They do apply to everyone. Moderators don't check every sig link, but we do check when something is reported. Franko's pirate site was pointed out to me this morning, no one has ever reported it before. If someone else is linking to pirate kickstart roms, click the report button.
 
I personally do not care about abandonware, up to and including KS ROMS. The truth of the matter is the TOS includes this for a specific reason. In years past this website has received credible legal threats which prompted the rule. Wayne clarified this rule a few years back to where general discussion of piracy is allowed, but linking to specific pirate software is stil not. Kickstart roms are still legally licensed and legally available as a commerical product (see Amiga Forever).
 
You could ask Pyromania to relax the rule even further if you wish.

Damn I get tired of these anal retentive arguments on this subject!

Yeah that may be true, but you are not the one footing the bill to keep the server up and running.  The owner of THIS board is the one that will have the legal issues if someone posts links to known piracy sites...  

It amazes me how everyone bitches about the facts and take it out on the moderators and board owners. The facts are that there are laws and if they are not followed someone will enforce them and quite often this will cause a lot of issues for folks that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the infraction.

For all you folks that disregard the courts and want to sponsor files and what-not that legally belong to someone else, by all means go ahead as Franko has and knock yourselves out.. But don't disregard the rules on this forum and cause issues for Amiga.org...

OMG! And who are you?! I am pretty sure Jim knows what I was aiming at, even if you obviously don't have a clue.  Sorry if that went over your head.
You should re-read your 2nd paragraph, and then re-read my post. Maybe it'll sink in....
