Join: Terms of Service
By obtaining a Crosswinds account, you are electronically
agreeing to follow these Terms of Service.
It' s getting to fucking hard to tell when
your agreeing to something, or now. See bottom of page.
AUDIO AND VIDEO FILES: Non-Sample length (max 45 seconds)
sound and video files that you own the rights to may be uploaded only
after you are approved.
Midi files are not considered "live" media, and are
unrestricted: you do not need approval for them.
Analysis: what the fuck? Even if I own the
rights to it, and I made the file, I can't
upload it. What a hassle. They apparently don't want musician on
thier service. Musicians hate to have to beg to have thier stuff
displayed. I do anyway, and I'm the only one that matters.
-------------------------------if you
click on the approved link, to get that
way-------------------------------
We're sorry but the Media Form is temporarily offline. While
we're working on it, if you need approval for media uploading,
please send an email to [email protected].
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may not upload any material that violates or infringes on
the copyright, intellectual property rights or trademark rights
of any individual or organization. This includes, but is not
limited to, all sound and video files/formats, images, and text
media. This also applies to linking directly to illegal files or
other sites that offer any illegal material.
Analysis: Not unusual.
- Note: You may upload these materials if you first obtain
written permission from the copyright or trademark owner.
Analysis: Fair enough.
-
- Piracy, hacking, cracking, phreaking, warez, pyrotechnics,
exploitive software or text that educates or encourages
this activity are not allowed.
Analysis: Book Burning. The problem
here is you're not allowed to educate. If you were to
say: cracking is useually done by downloading the
contents of the program CD and circumventing the code or
something like that, you might just be kicked off. Don't
like. They must not get many firecracker businesses
useing thier pages.
-
- Deliberately changing the extension of a file to hide its
contents will not only not work, it will be
considered an illegal file and will result in the
immediate termination of your account. There is no valid
reason to change the extension of a legal file.
How can they tell? I'm sure one
could feasably write a novel or something, save it, and
have them delete it because it's about the dize of an
.mp3.
-
- You may not upload ROMs and Emulators. We agree
with the game manufacturers and will continue to support
their fight against them. This is non-negotiable.
As apposed to the Piracy hacking
cracking pheaking warez pyrotechnics exploitive software
one, which is negotiable
-
- You may not publish any material that is grossly
offensive to the general on-line community, including but
not limited to, exploitation of children, blatant
expressions of bigotry, hatred, harassment, defamation,
invasion of privacy or excessive profanity (cursing).
This includes material that defames, abuses, harasses or
threatens any person or group. We reserve the right to be
the final judge as to what is or is not acceptable.
Big Problem:you may not
publish any material that is grossly offensive to the
general on-line community+We reserve the right to be the
final judge as to what is or is not
acceptable=censorship. What if its offensive but true?
The truth is ugly,
-

pornography, or sexual material of a lewd, lecherous or

-
- Spam is not allowed

to send. You may not reference your Crosswinds web site
in any unsolicited email that you send. Note: This

yahoo are used for spam.
-
- Your account may not be used as a storage or backup
facility. All files in your directory must be
linked from publicly accessible HTML pages, which should
be uploaded before any other files. We prevent the theft
of bandwidth and use as storage by limiting the linking
ability from other servers to HTML files only.
This is stupendous BULLSHIT. Way to
be useless. Theft of bandwidth my hairy ass, that's
called useing the webspace your giving me.
The real reason is not theft of bandwith, it's because
you can't see thier advertisements if you don't go to an
html page they can hijack and fill with ads.
-
- Mirroring commercial
sites is not allowed.
What if you own the commercial
site?
-
- You may not link to or offer to distribute any material
