then the filesharing option should be removed from mIRC all together.
I disagree with that and I would hope it would never happen.
I agree that people are too quickly labled a thief on these
boards if they even mention file sharing, but in most instances
it is true even if the proof is not there. Like the original post
in this thread, he may not have come right out and said he
was downloading movies or music or anything, but he used
the word
"qued" which raises a red flag with me that
maybe I shouldn't help this person. I don't think anyone should
be made to disclose the content of the files they're downloading
or sharing to get help. If they don't actually say they're
swapping copyrighted material, and they haven't used any
red flag words then they should be helped rather than be
labled a thief simply because they need help with file transfers.
On the other hand, if they're not going to help then they
should do just that,
don't help. Instead of posting a
message stating why it is that they will not help, why not
just ignore the thread?
