There was a thread in off topic recently about music downloading and seeing as I try to stay away from people who condone ripping music I ignored it. In fact the thread title was very suggestive of ripping. Now I was busy at the time when I saw it so I moved on. Sometimes I get busy and cannot report everything I see other times I am on top of the shit. I am human. Though I will report most total abuses of the forum when I see them, you know that.
I was not so much attacking Zilvia either, as I was stating something I have seen and known to exist in the past. There are forum members that condone ripping music and have even stated it. Like most people these people rarely read forum rules. Nor do they realize that so much as admitting it on the forum brings heat to the forum. If they were even that wise maybe they would not be ripping in the first place.

I agree with everything you said. Just keep in mind that "fair use" is still allowed:

But I think most people posting about it online is talking about copyright infringement.
Also keep in mind that Zilvia may be responsible for illegal activities that take place on the forums. I hope the mods are vigilant and take care of issues before they come up.
This is the same issue I brought up with the Zilvia monkey. We're opening the door for huge liabilitiy issues.
