Stupid new copyright laws and miniclub.ie [IMPORTANT]

Postby Owen » Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:35 pm

Thanks to the complete and utter moron that is Sean Sherlock TD, we now have to be extremely careful about what's said on here.

Long story short, NEVER copy and paste anything from another website, instead link to that site, and then discuss it. I actually can't believe we have to enforce this crap. There will also be issues with Youtube videos, but clips of movies should be okay as it's Youtube themselves that will be liable.

Sorry for the inconvenience folks, blame Sean Sherlock. And feel free to phone him and tell him what an idiot he is, and how he's put Ireland on a very slippery slope and will turn away tech businesses looking to invest here.

It's been in the media all month. Cork based yes, but this is a nationwide issue.

This is Irish SOPA?
Saw the Regs were signed during the week, despite a petition with over 100,000 signatures.
