People are able to get a hold of certain pieces of information or footage or music from the new movie and put it here for every one to enjoy. But once some one doesn't want to give you something that will bring the wrath of flannel down on MF.com, you get mad about it?![]()

Even I know the difference between posting links/promoting sharing of files that are floating about in the ether (from books, games you can buy at toy stores, pictures from magazines, etc.) and posting or linking to content that is exclusively available via Hyperspace membership.
The difference is simple. The first group of spoilers/info/etc. won't get this site shut down. The second one could - easily. Legal action could be taken, the site might be hacked to prevent our access to it, etc. etc. etc. It's in the best interests of anyone here to understand this difference.

Hyperspace - LFL will make truoble
NonHyperspace - LFL will not make as much trouble
At least that is what I get out of it. It dosne't seem to have much to do with the actual legality of copyright infringement.

Stuff on hyperspace--is internet only stuff. You can only get it on the internet. It's made available on the internet, and is an internet product.
Now, if I leak some scanned pages--that's not the same as leaking the book. I can't file transfer you the book and you get a bound, numbered edition of a book you can flip through on the other end. But if I take something from one website, and make it available on another, I'm offering you the EXACT same thing. There's no degradation of the material, there's no lessening of quality. It's the EXACT SAME THING, and THAT can be seen as a threat to their moneymaking ability.
Which is why it's different. Which is why they go apeshit when Hyperspace stuff is posted. Which is why people tell you to NOT ASK. Which is why I repeated my earlier post to you.
