I can see what you mean. Although Ubuntu is free to anyone so its not illegal to be downloading that via that torrent.

but we're only allowed to discuss the sites, and not to link to them, regardless if its free software.

[hah]

Since this activity is ILLEGAL, it makes perfect sense that this be against the rules as it's against the law. I raised this issue the other day. Without such acitivites banned, the forum is outright hypocritical and contradictory. It's welcome for this place to abide by the law.

this is all you fault for causing a big fuss when garion posted a link to watch a movie online!!!!!!!!!

I still think this is unnecessary and half baked, if I can say "go to warez-bb and search xyz and click the first thread" but I can't directly link to it we've got a very similar situation to the one Garion mentioned earlier, but that's fine according to these new rules (which are, of course, still not actually in the rules ).

Probably. And I'm glad.

Linking is not illegal.
Hosting is illegal.

Simple.

Didn't TPB get shut down etc for posting links to other sites, not hosting.

You couldn't be more wrong
Linking is allowing people to gain access to the illegal material, hence it is deemed illegal in the UK.
Like I said, I speak from experience on this matter.

Is it the same in the US?

I'm still gonna illegally download loads of films regardless. Probably even more than I did before now.
