I am glad this board does not let people post War3z/Serials/Cracks ect.
This means XDA-Devs will be around for a long time and not shut down due to douchebags posting cracked crap.

I haven't spent a ton of time here, but I would believe that xda would be ran the same as ppc. A link to a free solution (or even an app) is often found there, but warez is not accepted. Was he trying to pass something off from here as though it were his own? If so................ What, you guys would never notice?

Not warez, but a simple mistake.
I accidentally deleted his post when cleaning up a bulk of spam.
Therefore he was automatically banned.
Honest mistake.
My bad
Corrected the mistake by unbanning him and un-deleting the thread.
Regards,
EqX
PS.
As for warnings: I do not warn spammers. I delete the crap and ban them (and I am talking about hundreds of spammers weekly!).
For this user to get in between a batch of spammers and scammers, that is unfortunate however, but he could have contacted the site admin to correct this mistake.

Question On .EDU email accounts/address

Short of actually going to or having gone to or graduated from school or working for a school there is no way to grab an .EDU account, correct?
I have family members with sitting .EDU accounts open to me but I'd really like my own for use. Sometimes they come in handy for legitimacy and deals. New Years resolution number 9: if possible, find and keep a back up .EDU.

You can try this: http://www.edumail.edu.pl/ . Isigned up and waiting for them to make it.

Well it seems to work for me. Got an e-mail windows and whatnot. Now I'd just have to try it on a service that gives .edu discounts, but 'm too lazy for that. Also no spam as of yet, but GMails spam filter will probably catch it.

Well for dropbox you need to be from an approved school. So even if you have an .edu email, if your school isn't approved, you won't get the doubles.

How many doctors are on Xda?

I've read quite a few threads now where a poster will come in and say this phone is expensive, but I can afford it because I'm a doctor. So just like the thread says, how many of you are doctors? What country do you practice in?
What is your expertise?

This is a dumb question......but you might as well also ask how many full grown adults on XDA work at 7-11 or McDonalds flipping burgers for a living. Do you think anyone would really reply to that question either? No offense to those that do since someone needs to do it but I sure as hell wouldn't want to tell anyone I worked at those types of places as my lifelong career as an adult..................

lol that would be nice huh. We can't just "give" discounts. Corporate stores might do that but I can't. However, the easiest thing to do is to call T-mo and just have them add on a AAA, UPS, USBC, Capital One, or similar discount which can be as much as 15% off your bill each month.

Then start your own thread? The question to the topic is "How many doctors are on Xda?"; he wasn't trying to instigate anything at all, but wanted to know/meet other members in the community if they had the same career. Though I do find it ignorant when he states he can afford expensive phones. And yes I do believe he has bragging rights since he say's he's a "doctor", but it was an unnecessary comment. Just saying ..

Donate for a good cause!

Been a long time lurker here (like to do my searching stead of posting), but decided to post here for an important cause.
So, as many of you may know from the news, the situation in Syria is quite bad. With all the atrocities and whatnot going on, I started a fundraiser to help raise money for the people in need there. I haven't shaved in probably over three years (yes I do trim from time to time). I vow to cut my beard off completely if I can raise $1500. We are currently at $815.
Once you do donate (no matter how small of an amount), please PM me here with your amount and donation ID. You have a choice of two places to donate to.
The website is http://www.sacouncil.com or Avaaz and the donate option is right below the slideshow. Please DO NOT forget to message me your donation ID AND your amount! I will update the amount as we get donations. Please do not scoff at any amount, every penny counts.

Fixed so you don't have to now.

Damnit. I tried to donate the money from the "penny from everyone thread" which the evil mods locked (i kid I kid) but I can't seem to send the money without having a credit card linked. Instead I will Donate from my personal account, and maybe try to figure out how to lift the sending limit from the donation account, and will send that in as well. PM Sent.

Nice to see another Syrian on the forums. Awesome initiative--check PM

I will be teaming up with sooree for a special fundraiser. We will be raffling off a FORTY dollar Newegg Gift Card! See OP for more information.

A serious discussion about piracy

I know asking for pirate apps or piratewebsites is not allowed but i just want to be really sure of what's legal, i used to live in Latinamerica where we do pretty much what we want in internet and i just moved to Germany and thinks work different here, in the apartment i moved to they told me i can't download pretty much anything because is it illegal, but what exactly is illegal? how do internet providers find out what i'm doing on internet?
1: So if i share folders with music i bought in google play on dropbox so i can listen to it on my phone is that legal? what if i share those same folders in dropbox with my friends?
2. What about torrents? are they completely ilegal?
3. if a friend uploads a video from a concert to mediashare, rapidshare is legal that i visit those sites and download files on them?
4. Here they have a RIDICULOUS copyright in youtube and pretty much ANY video is not available on youtube/vevo so i have to use a proxy to watch videos, is that legal?
Any recomendations? Thanks for your help

It's fairly simple.
Obtaining copyrighted material without paying for it is illegal, in all forms.
Sharing copyrighted material is illegal. Letting someone listen to a song on your phone is fine, sending the song tt him/her is illegal.
Linking or pointing to locations where to obtain copyrighted material without paying for it is illegal.
Using a program or app without a correct license is illegal.

If you use them for your OWN devices, it's legal. If you share the folders with others, it's illegal.
2. What about torrents? are they completely ilegal?
Click to expand...

Only if they contain copyrighted material you would otherwise have to pay for. You can use torrent to share your personal Christmas photo's all you want, for instance. Downloading AND seeding is illegal for copyrighted materials. (This also includes recordings of copyrighted materials, such as Camversions of films.)

Yes, that's legal, unless there was a specific "Do not film" order at the concert., but that's not part of the piracy laws.

Thank you, you were really helpful but i still have a couple of doubts, for example last weekend i went to a crystal castles concert and i recorded some songs and i want to make a torrent to share it with my friends but the landlord told me i cannot USE torrents at all because otherwise the police or something will give him a fein for like 600 euros? was he just trying to scare me? i guess the internet provider can see that im sharing a file, but would they know if im sharing it via torrent? and if they know im using torrents how can they know for sure that what i'm sharing is legal to share or copyrighted material.
I guess downloading tv shows episodes is ilegal too, but maybe not because i watch tv rips and not the blu-ray or dvd versions? my german is so poor right now i cannot understand the shows on tv, all are dubbed in German

Your landlord's issue is that he thinks all torrents are copyrighted content. A common mistake.
But to keep the peace, it'd probably be best not to argue with him. I suggest you use www.Wetransfer.com for the concert files, it's an email-based file transfer with 2gb free transfer. If it's your own recording, you can also put it on dropbox.
Yes, as i said, recordings of copyrighted content is illegal, too. This also includes recordings of tv shows of any form.
I know what you mean. I live about 5 minutes from the german border so I get all the channels, they're all synched into German >.< It's ridiculous.

1. Your landlord is an idiot or he is lying. Using torrents is not illegal. there are plenty of data/shows/programs shared all day long legally on bittorrent.
2. Most likely (99%) your landlord cannot tell you are using torrents. I assume you are using some communal internet service at your apartments.
3. Just because something is copyrighted does not mean it is illegal to share it. It most likely is, but a lot of artists have no problem allowing their works to be shared.
4. Yes, your ISP can tell you are using torrent. Some monitor. They won't say anything unless someone complains to them.

The second this turns into any kind of "how to", or comes even close to "well I should be able to download anything I want" then I'll close it.
Just a heads-up

I'd download a car if I could.

Lend a friend a book and nobody cares. Scan a book and email it to your friend and suddenly you're a criminal.
The world is a strange place.

Just to let y'all know, from working at Comcast for 2 years, ISP's do look for this kind of thing I've never heard of...

Okay. If it is your Internet account then the landlord has nothing to do with it. Screw him. Why did you even ask him?
The isp basically keeps logs. At minimum they just log what ip you are assigned. Some log where you go to. They are not going to turn you in or call you. If a copyright holder complains to them wanting your information based on your ip they may give it up. They may fight it.
Without someone complaining to them, the isp is not going to turn you in or contact you. They will sometimes contact you if you use too much data depending on your data and tell you to knock it off
