Please review the forum rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm). This is a request in violation of rule 6. For more information, please click here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43617).

this is normal, you probably have a 2,35:1 movie like most hollywood productions (don't ever say it is downloaded btw, always say you got it from a friend or something, to trick jggimi, he's always tracking such posts like yours :D)

jggimi, he's always tracking such posts like yours Now that's not very nice and eligible for an insult strike.
He is required to keep anything that could reasonably link us to illegal activities away, it is his and all the other moderators' job to implement the forum rules.
You may not realize that he's doing you a service by doing that. Do not underestimate the power of the companies that do not approve of what we're doing here (process DVD sources and such). The less you talk about specific movies or where your sources are from the less trouble will we get in. You do not want this community to be shut down, do you?
Bottom line: if there's reason to believe that you're doing something illegal you won't get any help (unless you consider giving you a rule6 strike as a warning help).

I took DJBobo's comment as a joke and not an insult to jggimi, but I see where your concern comes from. jggimi was just doing his job as a mod, and it's important to remind the newer members not to mention where there sources came from, so I suggest someone place that Sticky in the Newbies Forum more than in the SVCD Forum.

I've given this a lot of thought. It's not how bad DJ's joke was, or that it might have been at my expense. He and I have traded PMs on the subject.
I will try to make this as clear as possible. If your country is a signatory to the Berne Convention then download of copyrighted intellectual property from another signatory country is illegal.
If you are downloading domestic intellectual property, then copyright laws in your country apply.
As a moderator, it is my primary duty to uphold the forum rules.
The moderation team interprets Rule 6 to cover discussion of this activity; we believe allowing such discussion puts the forum at risk of litigation by the applicable content owners or their industry associations.For more information, please see Doom9's disclaimer (http://www.doom9.org/disclaimer.htm) web page.

I want to be suspended (forever and not only 30 days!), make 2 more warnings you profanity edited out! (and sorry to a given person that will recognize himself, I just can't take it, jggimi is going too far, this is abuse of power)
THIS IS FAREWELL TO EVERYBODY, I WON'T COME TO THIS FORUM ANYMORE!

It's kind of sad to see someone who has been here for so long react this way when you should have known why we enforce these rule so strict. We just don't want ANYONE to give any authority an excuse for shutting us down.
Consider your wish granted.
