I understand, but if his infraction is in the form of a forum, how is that any different than people posting pics and movies here on gfy?
Content is hotlinked EVERYDAY from gfy, yet none of you come bring ? up then... I am just curious how this differs in any way from gfy and hotlinking content from here?
GFY makes a lot of money, and some would say, a portion of that could in fact be made possible by the amount of copied news articles (drama) and hotlinked images and movies (from the web) often in the form of someone elses created images and definitely someone elses hosting bill...
hopefully you understand my curiosity, as I surely understand your side.
If the variable which makes this a crime is profit, well,... look around.
