    thats why posting our copyrighted content is not allowed anyway. the other way to fix such things is to send a dmca complaint to the hoster who sends an email to the server owner who has to remove the content or the server will be disconnected. not that i would do this to any website, but thats what's possible legally (for servers hosted in the US)

    That's why it was much better the way you handled it.
    Things in life are always handled better when done in the tone of friendship vs pure business..
    Net result is the same but everyone walks away smiling this way.

    Wrong actually

    You could have asked for the first post to be deleted. The comments in the threads without the slides are not under your copyright, but I understand MM's decision and it was a good one, leaves a bad taste in the mouth is all

    Ty for the settings. Looking forward to the big review

    Hi Pal!
    The issue with just pulling the first post is that the rest of the thread wouldn't have made sense. I know, I did pull just the first post and then said the rest has to go.

    I know I know

    But he was talking in a legal sense, which I am familiar with, and I just wanted to correct him on the legal obligations on XS, which are to remove TechPowerUp's content only. XS is not liable to remove the comments.

    My apologies if I'm stretching the issue

    Yes, on that point we agree and NP as to stretching the issue.
    Debate diseminates information and that is always a plus.

    Or the first post could have been edited like Perkam did with the leaked R600 review when he had moderator status.
    >i5-3570K
    >Asrock Z77E-ITX Wifi
    >Asus GTX 670 Mini
    >Cooltek Coolcube Black
    >CM Silent Pro M700
    >Crucial M4 128Gb Msata
    >Cooler Master Seidon 120M
    Hell yes its a mini-ITX gaming rig!

    Seriously why would any1 be ebothered so much about the thread, I'm not the slightest bothered by that it's removed. Let's just look forward instead.

    Honestly such punishment wouldn't sound so bad to me. *j/k*

    Nah I hope it turns out well, you've contributed a lot to the community and I don't think it's that much fair in acclaiming you to be responsible for this but oh well...
