Hello,

Hello,

The judgment of Solomon regarding who is responsible for the situation is astonishing: only 4 targeted operators executed the court decision they were required to comply with because only these 4 operators were summoned to the proceedings by the claimants, and these operators have curiously contested in their defense the freedom that, to their hearing, should be granted to them for such dissemination.

The judicial tribunal of Paris unequivocally reported the demonstration of the infringing nature of the site in question.

The technical measures that have been implemented in this regard are of course easily circumventable.

Everyone does what they want, but it seemed to me that CCM took a stand against piracy, which includes publishing these circumventions.

I have nothing for or against, it's simply good to know: everyone will henceforth be justified in publishing any other infringing information based on CCM.

 

Hello;

You can request the removal of the publication on CCM if it seems illegitimate to you (Web + Newsletter).

Or discuss it in the Bugs and Suggestions forum, which is quite common.

Or contact the author of the publication.

Hello,

It doesn't seem illegitimate to me; it is to promote circumventing copyright, and the same author had already raised a backlash, including from memory among the moderators, for having written in the same vein:

Once again, I personally don't care; I merely expressed my surprise at the existence of a double standard that could call into question the moderators' decisions in this area.

Hello
Long and "endless" debate, to keep it brief and following clarification:
In fact, it is necessary to differentiate:

- CCM FORUM adheres to the charter and avoids aiding piracy.
For example, it is not forbidden to ask questions related to a "torrent client," as the usage is not illegal. What is illegal is the potential content.
Therefore, it is not prohibited to "debate" these topics, which remain an exchange of viewpoints; however, the exchange of technical or practical information aimed at illegal content will be sanctioned.

- CCM Editorial (articles, etc.) is independent of CCM Forum!
Even though it can be accessed from the same page.
Without going into details, the published content is therefore under a completely different "tutelage" and follows another approach, journalistic in nature.

To simplify, there is no direct correlation between Editorial and Forum, whether in approach, responsibility, or content.

I hope this answers your questions.

(We could discuss this for a thousand years, but it wouldn't be of much value, other than wearing out your keyboards :-) . Therefore, I suggest we close this discussion here.)

Good evening,

Regarding the website in question, the Paris Judicial Court has indeed ruled that it is inherently infringing, but we are, despite what some may claim, in a state of law: it could only block the 4 operators that were summoned by the rights holders.

The Court therefore could not rule that it is prohibited to connect to it through other means, although it was still deemed infringing; everyone does what they want, but the act of a publication informing about these means consequently advocates for infringement.

There is indeed an ambiguity concerning not such a site, but such a protocol (torrent) which is also used depending on what people upload and where to exchange files or software that are not contestable.
