I’ve become confused about the rules on music files. Should a site have obtained music tracks from a forthcoming game for download from the publisher themselves, are we aloud to host a link to that site? And should another site host a link to the site with the download; are we aloud to host a link to that site? Thanks in advance. _________________ BloodRayne Forums

The rule is simple if you think something is a breach of copyright then you can niether link directly or indirectly to it. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Thats something I was thinking about myself actually. Even if a site gives you permission to link, is that site really acting legally even if it says it is? _________________ Please Join http://thegreenroom.myfastforum.org/

Yes I suppose acting on the side of caution is the best way to go.

So say the site that is hosting a link to the URL with the download is a well-established site with strong communications with the publisher and never hosts/links to media without their say so, it’s pretty safe to say the download is legal and therefore in the green? _________________ BloodRayne Forums
