There seems to be a shift in some of the policies of this forum.

The 'Donation' concept, when's it ok, when's it not.

It's OK to ask for (purely voluntary) donations.

It's not OK to offer any incentives for donations, for example, donations in exchange for discs or donators getting preferential treatment over non-donators.

This is my interpretation of the rule, anyway.

In relation to the shift in Donations, (which haven't received any complaints) tBSWM has also violated Rule 4, without any complaints:

4. No direct links to media downloads of copyrighted materials (VOBs, WMV, QuickTime, torrent files, NZB files, ED2K links, etc.) with the exception of short clips to demonstrate quality or content. No direct links to pages containing such files.

The violation being that the entire presentation is available from one webpage and the full DVD also available from a link click.

This is now taken care of.

And then to make things more messy, i've offered the entire tBSWM project ownership able to be bought. (i'd like to start a company which could make the program i'm speculating to exists) To do that someone would symbolically purchase everything of that project, i'd relinquish ownership and receive funds to start a company. This as it stands violates Rule 2:

2. No profiting from any activities related to fan edits or preservation efforts. Those found selling their fan edits or preservation projects here or elsewhere will be banned.

So besides being highly outlandish and more relevantly unobtainable, what's the conscientious?

I don't have a problem with this.
