Thanks for the superb illustrated tutorial, Tomtentp! I think it will work for just about anyone with opposable thumbs!


This post contains all the hub rules and detailed sharing policy:



Q: "WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR THE HUB?"


Alizée DC++ Hub - Rules:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rule #1 Share at least 1Gb of Alizée or other video clips. Video clips are
defined as Music Videos or Live TV Performance clips presumed to be
in the public domain.

Rule #2 Have 2 upload slots open, for DC++ use 2 slots per HUB [Scripted]

Rule #3 Don't share any illegal content or non music-related files!!! [Kick + Ban]

Rule #4 Do NOT close your uploads or leave the hub while downloading. You are here
to share! Any attempts to prevent sharing with others will result in a ban.

Rule #5 Public chat is to remain on-topic (music-related subjects only). Foul
language or talk meant to demean others is banned. So that everyone
can participate and chat can be monitored, the primary language is English.

Rule #6 The OPs are here to help you. Failure to respond to their inquiries
in a timely basis will result in being kicked.

Rule #7 You are strictly forbidden to advertize other hubs or websites either in
main or personal chat without the express permission of the hub administrator.
Any attempt to do so will result in a lifetime ban from this hub.

Rule #8 You are here to share. Because of this, we insist that you add all the
clips you download from this hub to your share -- and share them-- for
a minimum of thirty days.

Q: "WHAT MATERIAL IS LEGAL TO SHARE IN THIS HUB?"


A: IT IS LEGAL TO SHARE VIDEO CLIPS AND OTHER MUSIC-RELATED FILES


("Video Clips" are defined as: 1) Promotional Music Videos or 2) Live TV
Performance and Interview clips presumed to be in the public domain.)



PROMOTIONAL MUSIC VIDEOS are what they play on MTV and other simular stations.
Because they are considered "promotional material" by the record companies (who
retain all the rights to distribute them), they have traditionally allowed Music
Videos to be exchanged between fans as long as no money changes hands.

LIVE TV INTERVIEW AND PERFORMANCE CLIPS have generally been recorded from chat, variety
or award shows off of broadcast television and can be distributed in the hub as long as
they are not commercially available, and are being exchanged free-of-charge between
collectors. The exchange of archival works that are otherwize unavailable is permissable
according to the provisions of the Berne International Copyright Convention.


FAN-CREATED DVDs. These are totally acceptable as long as the CONTENT of the disc conforms
to the above guidelines. Be aware, however that a DVD (whether posted as an ISO or
as a duplicate of the contents of the disc) does NOT count as part of your "1 GB of music
clips" requirement. You must have 1GB of INDIVIDUAL MUSIC CLIPS that can be individually
downloaded to qualify. The clips must also have a name that clearly identifies them (Name
of Artist and Song Title at least) so other people can tell what they are.


OTHER PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS- this may include promotional photos, sound clips, video edits
or fan-created remixes that were either created by yourself, taken from websites or
scanned from out-of-print magazines and are presumed to be in the public domain.
In all cases, the rights of the copyright holder are to be respected and the item is to
be removed upon their request or a request from the operators of this hub.




--In any of these cases, if the copyright holders request an item be removed, we must
honor that request or risk being shut down by our service provider, and the user
posting the clips risks civil penalties and possible criminal prosecution.--


================================================== ==========



Q: "WHAT IS ILLEGAL CONTENT?"


A: "ILLEGAL CONTENT" ARE ITEMS NOT TO BE SHARED IN THIS HUB.
THEY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:



1) Pornography. Since there is no adult-verification feature to this hub,
the sharing of pornography is illegal in many countries this hub serves.


2) "Cracked" Programs (or "warez")- This is considered unauthorized distribution
of copyrighted materials and is illegal in every country I am aware of.

3) "Ripped" copies of commercial music CDs or movie DVDs- this once again
is unauthorised distribution of copyrighted material. The stated LEGAL
purpose for peer-to-peer file-sharing applications is to share files that
are NOT commercially available or are licensed by the content creator to
be freely distributed. Please don't forget that fact.


-- If you are asked to remove an item by an Operator, either remove it or risk
being kicked from the hub. Chances are, you are NOT a copyright lawyer,
so arguing your point will only get you BANNED--


The best rule of thumb to use is: if there is a question in your mind about
whether or not something is OK to share, then DON'T SHARE IT.

If you have an questions about a specific item, you can ask an OP for help.
