google the DMCA. a common issue for forums like us. for example, the much more heavily-trafficked Steve Hoffman forums (with 30-40 million posts and 120K+ members. it's not about likelihood or speculation: we used to allow user uploads and that caused problems regardless of what you put in the...

i'm sure you can imagine that I don't have the staff of engineers and lawyers that Meta/Facebook does. i'm sorry for the inconvenience.

the Facebook group?

I don’t take offense. I’m legitimately asking if you know of a solution. Many small forums allow direct uploads. Many large forums don’t, especially music-centric forums, because users upload copyrighted photos of musicians/concerts. If we continued to allow those uploads as we did in the...

What do you propose?

I’m curious what the other forum is. Have you ever checked out the Steve Hoffman forums? Extremely popular and same policy as here for the same reasons. Maybe visibility = more of a target? I have no issue with photographers concerns of dominion over their work, but it creates a grey area for...

I don't think so. We don't have the staff that could check to see if a user-uploaded image was copyrighted or not. And we certainly don't want to contact users and let them know they're in legal jeopardy. That doesn't sound fun. Edit: I should say we used to allow direct user uploads - there's...

I actually had to perform that inconvenient step yesterday. Imgur makes it a little less painful.

I participate on a few well-trafficked hi-fi forums and it's the same situation there; and I imagine it's for the similar reasons: you host users content and can't check each upload for copyright violations, you're open to litigation. Apologies if it's a major inconvenience.

We've received a couple of questions and are trying to work out a few kinks. To book a tour, please use the booking system linked on the Tours page. If a date isn't showing as available, we aren't able to provide tours that day or that day is already booked. We're working on clarifying that...

Hello, PRS Forum Crew! As you may have noticed, we added Factory Tours back to the website today. We have put a lot of work into setting up the new tour route and calibrating the staff, and we are super excited to welcome people back to the shop. We are announcing here first as a thank you, and...

I’m not a big fan of locking threads but this one has run its course and doesn’t seem to be stopping. Sorry.
