You’re welcome!
To Wimpel69 – if I’m an asshole, there’s a reason for it: you’re contagious.
Dicks like that make every one who wants to share music here think twice about it.
Those of us who share music "upon request" in those threads do that because it keeps the thread alive.
I personally don’t give out links in PM. Sure, my threads are "dead" and less people say thanks, but all I want is people to get the thing, with the less problems as possible, I don’t care if they go away with it without saying thanks. A small part does say thanks.
What more "problems" could there be if people aren’t even AWARE the music is here?! Countless users are being made aware of the music only if it satys "on top of things".
Also, I got some respect left for the recording industry, which after all makes it possible (!!!) to share music. Apparently, you don’t.
People should be made aware of good music by SEEING it’s here. If it’s on page 598 of the forum and they don’t ACTIVELY search for it, they’ll never know it’s here.
File sharers got the reputation they have because of people like you.
Why should your threads be given special treatment?
Just because you make threads faster and harder than everyone else doesn’t make you an elite here, even if you fancy yourself one.
The "search" function on FFShrine is not the most helpful one… but Googling
site:forums.ffshrine.org "music I am looking for"
often yields results, assuming someone has shared what I’m looking for in the first place, regardless of what page the thread is on.
How would they feel if some vindictive prick put their links to the public against the explicit wish of the people who provide?
Google is no longer a trustworthy search engine on FFS either. I try that myself on a regular basis, and now almost nothing appears.
– Any "true file-sharer" who is a bit honest with himself/herself knows fairly well what piece of trash he/she is first! We often take someone else’s creation(s), ought to be legally purchased, illegally upload it on an online server and offer it for free, without the "OK" from the owners. So, yeah, who’s the biggest asshole?
– In light of that, expecting random folks on the internet to comply with our wishes is rather dumb. The best you can do is something you have already done, remove the file from the account and deactivate the link.
Me, I’m not, and so aren’t many others sharing and receiving music on this board.
Meanwhile, I will continue to share music here, and perhaps more importantly, put it in a context and not just throw people links. And I’ve got countless messages and thanks for what I do that I do. And a lot of people have bought CDs of that music shared and investigated other music based upon the material. Because if NOBODY would be buying music any more, there’d be nothing left to share.
That is my philosophy, and you may not be able to share it.
At any rate, I don’t think the staff will put much effort into stopping this, I know I wouldn’t: it’s not threatening to the Shrine’s existence as a whole, and if sharers happen to leave over it, who cares. The "download links" part has been going on for years, sharers always come and go.
You aren’t better than all the other Pieces of Shit around here,
a Turd dipped in Gold is still a Turd.
How would you feel if you put blood, sweat, and tears into producing a classically-inspired album – which of course is doomed to never make a lot of money anyway – and then find out some pompous git was not only illegally sharing it, but complaining that he wasn’t illegally sharing it ENOUGH! I know your very perceptive "philosophy" must prevent you from seeing how you potentially damage the artists whom you so revere, but I doubt the Maestros whose music you pirate would share your philosophy.
Wake up and realize who your audience is. This isn’t some private, invite-only torrent tracker where users have to kiss your ass for a link. This is FFShrine, bitch, where leeching abounds and anything goes. codemaster did nothing wrong, either by FFShrine law or the file-sharing gentleman’s agreement (if such a thing exists). I’m sure there are a good amount of users here who appreciate the work you do, but to the other 99%? You’re just another faceless pirate.

@wimpel69: If you held proprietary claim or copyright to this material, or had spent money producing it, or even had you actually written the music in question, then I’d maybe sympathize with you. But as far as I’m concerned, bearing in mind what is the true circumstance(s); this one’s down the trash hole with all the others. You’re (we’re) part of a forum on the internet full to the brim with copyright-infringing activities constantly afoot; therefore, would should this matter at this point? Why should there be any importance whatsoever placed to it? Why should any of us care? With all due respect; I, along with most other users could give a flying fuck about this predicament of yours. Get over it and move on. You’re at the least right to continue sharing material and not let this stop you doing it, but you’ve over-exaggerated the situation.
� stato fatto da un membro di questa community? In tal caso, contatta Jessie subito e chiedigli come puoi dimostrarlo. Il colpevole di tale azione dovrebbe beccarsi un "ban" (e, possibilmente, una cancellazione dell’account).

Companies deserve some respect. The least I can do is keeping the proliferation under control. Also, I don’t have the time to re-up all the material all the time because open links are being deleted (an open link I shared on The Planets recently stayed up for less than 12 hours, and that was on Mega!)
If you’re not sharing my viewpoint, that’s fine. But it’s MY material, MY decision HOW to share it. Now, with the PM system down, I will have to find other means of sharing – if it stays down.
EDIT:
As for the PM issue, left a message to Jessie in chat yesterday, but who knows when he will see it.
What is it about FFShriners and their crippling lack of self-awareness?
