You know like you see on all DVDs and CDs.
All I see is for example:
| COPYRIGHT ? 2010 LIGHTSPEED MEDIA | ALL RIGHTS RESERVED |
And I ask myself, what is copyrighted? The web page? That doesn't state that the mdeia is copyrighted or it's illegal to upload one of the movies to a bt site...
In fact, it should be expressely written whether it's legal as a member to make a copy of the movies/sites (if available as site downloads) onto permanent media like HDs or DVDs... Or whether you can show it to other people at eg a party at your house.
It should be an absolute minimum imo to state the limitations of media use.

I agree, but i would sugest more friedly than that. If i read that it would mean nothing except legal waffel.
But if you have somthing simple as 'you may download to your pc but not share the content or repost' i think thats simpler to understand.
i think some people even think they are helping by re-posting.
the problem is they see one person do it so presume its ok to do so.
its a bit like litter, if there is some on the floor, others just throw rubbish away too.
