| Site User's Guide Forum Terms Lawful mention Partnerships |
Internet users often think cyberspace is a special legal jurisdiction. However, every website, and by extension, all of its users, are still subject to the laws of whichever country the site is hosted in. For this reason, kioskea and its users are required to obey French law.
Among those things which are prohibited, and may lead to prosecution:
Using peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing software is not prohibited by French law. However, despite the debates going on in Parliament, using software to download or share copyrighted software is.
For this reason, although discussions about using such software are allowed on the forum, any discussion which makes direct reference to copying or sharing copyright-protected works will be deleted. If this happens, please do not dispute the deletion of these posts; instead, save your energy for posting messages which do comply with the terms of use.
