Forbidden Topics

[AFJuvat]

All:

This has come up a few times in the last few weeks, so I will reiterate this for all users.

Publicly posting links to download sites, or offering to send bootlegged copies (i.e any pdf) of Porsche Workshop manuals is forbidden.

Such actions are in violation of Porsche copyright\trademark and causes problems for Pelican Parts.

Thank You

Actually, it is not a 'violation' to post links to documents online - and is perfectly legal. Individual users have every right to 'copy' and 'provide copies' of any documents in the public domain - as well as show individuals where they are located. It is not OUR responsibility to protect Porsche from their copyright infringements. That is the job of Porsche and their legal team.

There is copyright court hearings on this specific issue, and no individual has ever been held responsible for transmitting copyrighted information that was readily available to the public.

IT IS A VIOLATION to be the ORIGINATOR making a 'bootlegged' copy of the copyrighted document and distribute it online, or transmit otherwise.

Just sayin'....

Porsche doesn't mince words when someone publishes a link on a website, their lawyers simply threaten to shut down the site and take it over. And yes, they have done exactly that.

Do not publish links, unless you want to see the site disappear...………...

Don't know what I was thinking in my previous post. Sorry.

JFP is right, besides, it's a reasonable rule that the owners of the forum have set. Good manners suggest that we abide by the rules. Happy New Years to our friends at Pelican!
