Since boards is about to shoot itself in the foot with a knee jerk reaction to this new law, tell us where you will be online after this place is deserted?

How come?

The mods will have to start a support group:(

I'm sure Boards.ie are using it's rapid response unit to make the change-over less painful for everyone. at least you can still use youtube links and also use a paragraph of a news story at the moment with a link allowed as well, so not all that bad.

Kintarō Hattori · 02-03-2012 4:57pm

I can't see Boards being deserted for a very very long time.

They are just being cautious as the feelers for this new legislation are put out.
I t just means that we have to give a little synopsis (that we write ourselves) alongside a link

As most people are aware during the week Sean Sherlock but into place some new legislation in relation to copyright infringement.

This new legislation has forced us to make some changes to what can and can not be posted. As some material which may have been fine before could now lead to boards being more open to legal proceedings.

So what's changed

News Articles

It will no longer be possible to re-publish full articles from other sites or news papers. If people want to reference the full article they will have to link to it. The only exception to this is if the author has given their expressed permission for it to be republished.

Users can quote up to one paragraph of an article however if you do this you must provide a link back to the article.

You Tube

Only copyright holder officially uploaded videos should be embedded. As a lot of highlights and snippets of games will fall foul of this law, they should not be embedded.

Match Streams

This has always been a grey area and unfortunately now it has gotten to the point where we will no longer allow the linking of streams.

In match threads people can link to sites that have the official rights to broadcast the match on-line, however if there are any geo location restrictions there is to be no mention of ways to bypass this.

Photos

Again unless you have the copyright holders permission to reproduce the image you will have to link to it instead.

Anything else

The above are the main areas effected however anything that is copy righted is covered and should be reproduced here

It is with great regret that we have to take these steps however due to Sean Sherlock we have no option.

Typical. Just as the rule about quoting articles in the OP was going to be enforced, along comes Sherlock with his ill-thought out law to scupper the whole thing.

TeddyTedson · 02-03-2012 5:37pm

I just read it in feedback. Shocking.
Need to get these radical bastards out of government now.

TeddyTedson · 02-03-2012 5:39pm

I think boards should move it's business to another country until this law is over turned.

Eh listen champ, all that stuff was already illegal. Welcome to Ireland, land of the "we'll enforce them if we feel like it" laws.

Also in response to the thread title
