Which is something we all agreed to when we joined this forum. As someone who has had my own copyright infringed elsewhere (not on ten-tenths I hasten to add) I can speak from experience that it is common for people to say "I didn't know". That did not prove to be a defence for two file sharers this week. This forums carefully worded rules are...
"You agreed, when you originally registered for the forum, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You also agreed not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you.
Please note that by copyrighted material, we mean any and all material that a copyright is owned on. This includes written information, pictorial information and information copied and pasted in from other areas of the internet. Basically, if you didn't write the text or take the photo yourself and you don't have written permission to reproduce it from the person that did - then it's copyrighted material that should not be posted to this site."
