Quick question regarding the rules

[Savarast]

After reading the forum rules, I'm just looking for some final clarification. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but it is still worth a shot to ask to be sure. The question is; is it illegal to ask/share anime that has been burnt or copied or recivied via torrent. This is in regards to a fan-subbed anime I have been hoping of getting my hands on, but I was not going to ask before I knew if it were legal or not.

From what I know of the law, I would assume it to be in direct violation of the rules of copyright infringment, but due to it being fan-subbed I figured it was worth a try.

So, fan-subbed japanese anime (subbed in english); is it conforming to the rules if I asked people for thier input on where I could get it?

Its not 'illegal' here (meaning we arent going to arrest you) but it isnt allowed. Linking in general isnt allowed, with a few exceptions (such as to news reports).

Arrrgg... So no asking here...

I need to find somewhere where I can talk and someone has what I need >_<;;

Anyways, thank you for not arresting me =P

Nothing wrong with posting the stuff in your journal or signature =3

As long as its nothing rated 'R' or 'XXX'
Keep it PG please!

No no, unless things to do with Love Hina are considered too over the top (discluding the cg game), which I doubt, then I doubt it would be considered "XXX" or "R".

Basically: It's illegal to download copyrighted material (through any means be it P2P, torrent, etc). Thus it is not allowed here. Do not associate your account or anything your account links to that deals with this.

Thanks.
