The board rules are:
1. Be nice to each other. This means no personal attacks or other offensive behaviour will be tolerated. I want this to be a nice positive place where posters are encouraged.
2. Discuss anything you like in the appropriate forum, as long as you keep it fairly family friendly. I do not want an atmosphere that discourages young readers - nor alarms their parents. PG is good
3. Similarly, no discrimination against others on grounds of sex, race, creed, etc will be tolerated. You all know the full list by now, I'm sure
4. Only members can post on the boards. This is to stop anonymous trolling.
5. Most of all - have fun! Mess around, post jokes, discuss music or books or anything that you like. It's all good
6. All stories, poems, art and other creative endeavours posted on these boards remain the copyright of their authors/originators.
7. When linking to external sites, please provide a suitability warning if the content may not be suitable for all ages or sensibilities. Links to seriously adult sites/subjects are not allowed on this board.
8. No linking to any illegal download sites is allowed for any reason.
The YouTube Rules
The following rules apply to the posting of YouTube videos on this site:
1. Do not embed videos of copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder. If you link to copyrighted material, make sure the site linked to has the permission of the copyright holder.
Please note that anything put on YouTube by the copyright holder themselves that has the 'link to' feature enabled is giving implicit permission for the video to be shared, so that should be safe. Also note, however, that in the case of a slide show with music or something similar the copyright holder of the music is probably not the person who created the slide show.
2. All content that would normally carry a content warning before should still be linked to rather than posted directly, for obvious reasons. This includes material that may be upsetting or offensive to some viewers.
3. YouTube has deals with a number of other companies meaning that YouTube is legally entitled to host their videos, and thus that we can link to them without aiding copyright infringement.
These companies are (With links given to the appropriate press release):
Sony BMG Music Entertainment
Warner music Group
CBS
Universal Music Group
NBC
Sundance Channel
EMI music
There may be others, and I'll add them when I find them...
As it is, this covers pretty all the major record companies
