The only contention I can imagine is that it might be argued that YouTube, not us, are responsible for weeding out copyrighted content. However, the rules do state that you are not allowed to "provide any external links facilitating the unlawful distribution of copyrighted material". SaveFile's TOS also rather predictably prohibits the upload of copyright-breaching material, by the way.

As do YouTube's, I might add.

Anyway, I think placing the blame on other sites' shoulders would be a dangerous road to go down, because then, what's to stop someone linking to a torrent site facilitating a cracked Finale 2007 download?

Good thinking there Mike. No, I'm not being sarcastic.

I'll add a sticky thread to this forum making these points clear. I'm going to fall short of going through each and every other thread in this forum weeding out links to copyrighted material, though, as that would be far too much work.
Also be aware that I'm not picking on you, Galt. I accept full responsibility for the previously lax enforcement of this rule. But we do have to start at some point, and with someone.

No, trust me Mike, I would never accuse or even assume you were picking on me. In fact, I rather like being the force behind a new enforcement of the rules.
