This Kills Me

So I'm looking at some traffic that came to one of our sites from a forum. A forum that has a long history in this "industry" and I see this in their terms:

1. Please don't post full site rips. This will cause trouble for the board owner. You can still post them one by one though!

2. Do not post links to any outside source except in your signature if approved by the admin.

3. If you post a full DVD, its not acceptable to just post a screen shot of the original DVD cover. You need to post a meaningful "real preview" of the content.

So the forum encourages full site rips .. one by one of course , encourages the users to use torrents, encourages full DVD rips and then threatens to ban a person for linking to the site / company that actually produced the content.

I know this is "old news" but I don't often see this encouraged so blatantly and needed to vent.
