I’m confused. Is there no list to rely on, by Thread posters, to avoid the Real risks of copyright infringements?

Since I can’t post, I was just wondering how FReepers will ever learn who it is that they must always avoid links.

We’re hearing confusion on our poster end about reasons why links are Forbidden.

Posters are not told what they have done wrong. Is there no list to rely on that tells us who it is that we must never Link, from their graphics and publications, etc.?

Administration moderators seem to assume we posters are suppose to know these bad links that expose FR to risks of infringement.

Which is right?

OK - I’ll post this - again

Here's a post from Jim from 2004 listing all the publications we're not to post from. The list is still in effect with some additions listed in the body of the thread.

Copyright List

[ransomnote]

Rita, for the longest time I thought the only prohibited content was in those tables at the top of the post.

Then I saw others suspended and went back to the list and realized that other prohibited sites have been added in the comments. So I use a webpage search and I already view 250 posts per page but then I found that the domain name I was looking at wasn't listed, but the publication was prohibited by stating the name instead of the .com.

Then I noticed comments in the OP in and around the lists also infer more limitations.

Are there any FREEQs or FReepers available right now to work together to create a userfriendly list, separating cartoon, websiste and image considerations that we can reference and understand more quickly? I can do the HTML to make links active. I will try to do something like that when I have time - for now I just have advisories I ping. If anyone is willing, able to take that on now, perhaps working with others, please let us know.

If you come up with something - all of FR might pay you many plantains in tribute! Perhaps a new list would even be posted in place of the current one? :)
