We have some tutorials already in the technical help forum, but we would welcome more contributions.

I can understand that. No one wants to get a cease and desist letter. However isn't talking about file sharing and where to acquire the films more trouble than friends trading in good spirit? Somehow trading seems like it would be less offensive to the copyright police than downloading from torrent sites and newsgroups.

And what if there were a few basic ground rules to this section? Like no one with under a certain amount of posts may join. It could also be a private forum. And maybe users could only post their interest in trading and contact information only. No actual lists posted in the forums. All trading lists exchanged in private.

Anyway, please don't see this post as challenging your authority. I'm 100% positive you know more about the legality of this idea than I do. Honestly, most of what I have written was just thinking out loud. However if any of it seems plausible to you, please give it your consideration.

Many Thanks.
