Is it against the rules to break the law?

[Galaxay]

According to a moderator its not..?

Davetaylor and anyone else interested, it is NOT against the rules to post cracks or patches.

So yeh, is it against the rules to break the law, or doesnt it matter?

The moderators would have to do alot of work if they had to do something about it. I think they just let us do what we like, but were responsible for it, not them.

[--ss--]

You are allowed to ask/give keygens/cracks for programs.

So we're not allowed to swear etc, but allowed to break the law? :rolleyes:

Totally agree with you Scott. It seriously does not make any sense at all and all illegal activity/breach of copyright used to be banned. Any of these now allowed could get the site shut down especially serial codes, torrents, keygens. As far as music torrents go companies can get the ip/server banned. Aiding and abetting copyright piracy is pretty bad I think which is the way it would be seen regardless of a disclaimer in the t&cs.

You will not be punished for this as it is not the forums job to enforce the law in this sense. Of course if the copyright material was being hosted on the server then it would be a concern for Habbox however posting links or discussing things like cracks, keygens etc is not breaking the forum rules. As long as sites posted are not inappropriate or break the forum rules this is not a rule breaking offense as far as I am aware. If it was becoming a real problem or there was a request from a company to remove the links due to breach of copyright then I can imagine Habbox would comply to this but as the keygens, cracks etc are not hosted on a Habbox server that means the offending site would be the 3rd party site who is hosting the material and or downloads and not Habbox.

Can you give me a crack?

Sounds wrong

Swearing is filtered automaticly, but its hard for a moderator to remove every illegal content posted.

So i can post any copyright materials, its not habboxs problem, so why do they enforce the rule in the gfx department to remove any copyright material and infract them?

I don't think you could say start posting lots of links to cracked programmes and such but asking for the odd keygen/serial is alright.

That guy posted about 6-7 keygens in a single post in tech section, thats where h0bj0b said its not against the rules..
