We have recently been obliged to remove a popular and otherwise compliant thread due to it being riddled with the quoting of copyrighted material.
 
We were approached by one of the copyright owners who made it clear in unambiguous terms that legal action would be taken if the quotes were not removed immediately.
 
Members are reminded that they should not include copyrighted material in their forum posts or reviews without the express permission of the owner. This includes lyrics, essays, and all text appearing on other websites, in books, magazines etc. It is usually best to use links to other websites rather than reprint text from them.
 
Members are reminded that they are personally responsible for what they say in their posts and reviews, and as such, may find themselves drawn into any subsequent action which is taken by copyright owners.
