Subject: When Will There Be Fair Use ?
Modified by The Listener (25. January 2005, 08:43:53)
Hey Pawns,

  Do you want to spend your money on this?...

Paying Membership to this site is not a good idea because:

The people who run this place (BrainKing.com) violate their own rules, i.e. They will harass you, censor you by deleting/hiding your posts, 'bait' you into arguments, and more or less commit transgressions of all sorts.

Also, there has recently been a controversy about posting your favorite song lyrics. The US Copyright Law states that it IS Legal to post lyrics/poems/jokes/stories on discussion boards -- If it is for non-profit and educational purposes only.

The User Agreement doesn't even mention this lyric posting 'rule'. But for some odd reason, some people on this website appoint themselves as 'Judge-Jury-God', and continue to inflict Arbitrary Aristocratic Censorship upon anyone who disagrees with them.
And even if you're a paying member, you'd better get used to this kind of treatment.

So, make sure to consider all of this before you spend your hard-earned bucks here, and watch out...

The Agenda should be 'Fair Use'. And if the so-called owner of this website chooses to ignore the 'Public' law, they should state it up front for ALL to see. To that, I whole-heartedly agree. (At the risk of rhyming )

When they publically state their intention of making this a 'Privately Owned', and therefore, a 'Privately Dictatorial' website -- Then I shall tell everyone to enjoy it as is.
