for "legal reasons" ?!

"For legal and other reasons, refrain from posting fake tracklists and attention-seeking "rumor" threads."

I can understand the "other reasons": all those fake tracklists & other hoaxes have been boring & polluting the forum 4 2 long, there4 I'm glad the mods added this rule.

But what is this about "legal reasons"???!!! In what is it illegal 2 post fake tracklists and attention-seeking "rumor" threads?!

Ooops, sorry 4 the wrong forum.

It was in no way a contestation, of course i want an org & anyway as i said these fakes & hoaxes just got on my nerves, it was just a genuine question.

I still don't get it, a google search took me here http://www.cya.com/en/home.asp
or there
www.cya.ca.gov/
But i still don't see what it has 2 do with anything (?)

Would u please elaborate ? Thanx.

Thanx, but all this doesn't answer my question at all, because i just don't see what's illegal in printing fake tracklistings or stupid rumors in a forum as long as it cannot b considered "discrimination" (or can it? eek ).

perhaps the comment isn't pointing to any specific incident or violation, but is just mentioned to help keep the site protected from legal bashings from purpleland?

i mean, do you KNOW how litigious prince is about unauthorized fan sites?

OK, thanx.

I don't KNOW anything 4 a fact, but from what i heard lotsa sites that had 2 do with bootlegs (solliciting or streaming) have been closed or sued in the past years. Has there been other pressions 4 other reasons than bootlegs since (just curious)?

Anyway it's a shame Prince doesn't allow his fans 2 b at peace with this kinda shit, as if it changed anything 4 him...

prince has had fan sites shut down for posting images of him that he didn't want posted. he can be a real bully when he wants...and even when the cease and desist can be challenged, who'd foot the org's legal bills? ya know?
