    IIRC, file sharing is not illegal! A bit quick fingered on this occasion, Jonathan, but perhaps a finger wagging would have been more appropriate than locking it before somebody could interject with a word of advice on the subject to the OP.

    Request for thread to be re-opened.

    I'm pretty sure that was locked on the basis that file sharing - in this case torrenting on TCDs network, is against TCDs network policy.

    The moderator has given enough advise imo.

    Had the thread been about the bittorrent protocol in Trinity I probably would have left it open.

    I locked it because as far as I'm aware you are not allowed to "borrow" each others media content!

    Of course you are!!! And of course, you're being very general and I'm being very specific! :D

    Depends what the media content is, it's not an absolute.

    Have a look at the original thread MooseJam and you decide what he meant.

    Had a look, I think you were correct as to his intentions.
