O.k. please do not get mad at me. i see that some of your simfiles have some really famous and top selling artists in them. how is this not breaking the law? im sorry if this has been posted before but i search the forums and nothing about this, but it seems like people are just download simfiles for the songs. once again, sorry for repeating(if i did) and sorry for not properly introducing my self.

im so sorry, i did not know where to put this

Re: Copyright infringement

Re: Copyright infringement

I'm 13 for your information, and I really don't know about any illegal FFR songs.

Re: Copyright infringement

my point, exactly, but i made this thread for the admins. i want to see what they think about this. if this continues 1,000s will be sued and ffr might be shut down permaneantly. im not threatening but someone please explain to how the simfile are or are NOT illegal. if you are under 18 i heard that ur parents get a huge fine and might be sued for illegal song downloads.

Re: Copyright infringement

Every song on FFR is perfectly legal for use on FFR. Before the song is used, permission is obtained from the artist that created the song. At least, that's how I understand it.

There are no illegal ffr songs. Stop using meth and quit the internet.

Well, there's a disclaimer. It's just like limewire and soulseek, bittorrent etc. They cant shut the site down, because the site isnt doing anything wrong.

Exactly. It's the users who are misusing the service. It's not FFR's fault that some people have no respect for the musical artists they claim to like.

Re: Copyright infringement

well thats a little cruel. what about all the kids who dont know everything about copyright and downloaded this music. besides i think u need to add a disclamer in simfile section. there stuff in the news i have read the talk about poor people's kids download music and have gotten sued for it.

sorry, if i have upset anyone on this website.

Re: Copyright infringement

O.K. then your probably going to lose alot of users. Also, have u heard about the Napster incident a while ago? They had discalmers, and they didnt even host the files, and they still got sued.

[hydrojakep]

Re: Copyright infringement

Napster was encouraging their users to use their services illegally. We're not.

Re: Copyright infringement

encouraging or not, files that are copyrighted are here. you are probably thinking when this noob will shut up. well, i am just pointing this out to you guys now, I just dont know what to say. Fine, this is not my game/site i can not tell you guys what to do. But, in my opinion this is extremely cruel.
