A present from me to you.
 

Requires a plugin download and registration. I'll have to pass...

Its just DivX

Only 1.06 long?

BTW: Its uploads like this one that gets Stage6 in trouble.

There are three Parts, there are links in the top right corner ;)

And meh, I'm just enjoying it whilst it lasts.

Not to mention threads like this that get subsim in trouble.

No, it's the staff that makes something they cant supervise correctly. :yep:

How?

Well it certainly doesnt look good to have links to movies here. ;)

Because you are linking to pirated videos.

(sorry for width)

It only says software piracy...

I'm sure it applies to piracy in general. :yep:

Yeah, I know of at least one person who was keelhauled for sharing video.

So my Das Boot plays Silent Hunter 4 video was bannable too?

I have not seen it, but it sounds likr that might fall under fair use.

Yeah, as that is not the full release. But some rights holders are more jumpy than others, i got my Youtube account banned for uploading a 20 second crash from Formula 1.:damn:

Thats so dumb and yet you can see some jerk lying down on a railway line as a fast moving train goes over him. :roll:

Yea real smart move by YouTube. :damn:

Was the F-1 thing because it was a crash, or because it was copywrited material?

Probably not, because borrowing a few scenes from a movie to make a spoof is fairly harmless. Loading up a marketed product and giving it away for free is definitely against the law.

A friend of mine designs tabletop miniatures wargames for a living, and when some of his stuff appeared on the web for free he sued them. When they complained that "the entire community should have this for free", the replied that

1) That was his decision to make, not theirs, and

2) A lawsuit in this case was mandatory, because if he didn't take action it constitutes tacit agreement, and he would forfeit his copywrite.

Putting up a copywrited movie in that fashion will without fail bring a lawsuit down on the heads of the site owners, and they will without fail lose.

It was Kubicas über-crash from Montreal last year, so it was not graphic or anything. I received a notice that FOM (Formula One Management) had issued a complaint, and I lost all the Silent Hunter 3 vids as well (lost the originals in a format-disaster).

FOM even remove private footage from races.:rotfl:The funny part is that it is illegal to upload even short events from races, and at the same time impossible buy races or footage.

Stage6 is being sued at the moment, by Universal I believe, because of vids like the one Kapitan is linking to. Stage6 is a beta-site from DivX, with no limitation of length and size of files, and you can download as well as stream. I guess they are having a hard time controlling the content. Its a shame, because if it goes away there is no place to upload high res game-videoes.
