Alright, it occured to me that I probably ought to lay out some rules regarding what can and can't be posted as far as music is concerned, since there appears to be alot of confusion about it. So, here are the guidelines:
What you may post:
-Links to any site LEGALLY offering clips/full songs-there are many of these, such as freeplaymusic.com and others that legally have full songs from independent artists. It is fine to post links to these sites, or to share with us clips OR full length songs from such sites.
-2:00 or less clips-you may post clips of ANY song so long as the clip is no longer than 2 minutes.
What you may NOT post:
-Links to any site ILLEGALLY offering full length songs. If it is not the site of an artist or that of an independent music service, then chances are it is not legal and will not be permitted.
-Full length songs-sharing full length songs is illegal. However, as stated above you may post clips.
-Sharing of ANY music obtained illegally, be it through a website, or a service such as Bearshare, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.
In addition, conversations regarding the illegal procurement of music will not be permitted.
These rules are NOT all encompassing. Situations will be evaluated on an individual basis, and action will be taking at the administrations discretion.
Thank you for your cooperation.
