I could have sworn I said to move it right along. Since we seem to be ignoring my statement, I am going to issue an explanation and this will be the last I better hear of this discussion on the boards.
First off, Orlando United has always frowned upon posting images that were obtained by trespassing. We've had several occurences where we would have to issue a warning about posting such images (ie HHN 18 Blueprints) and everyone understood and accepted the rules. Bottom line, this isn't something new.
As far as information goes, this is a public forum so you are welcome to share whatever you please. Speculate to your hearts' content. That said, if you go around parading "I have someone in the know", dont be surprised if Universal wants to ask questions. Whatever legal rammifications that may come are between you, the member, and Universal. I am not your lawyer, I am the administrator. I have to look for what is best for the site. Any information posted, unless otherwise "Officially Released" by Universal is speculation. What you have to understand is that Universal had employees sign a "non-disclosure clause" that prohibits information from being released. Somewhere along the chain of information, someone is breaking the law. It's not my place to investigate, that is up to Universal.
The members who were contacted by Universal, leave it off the boards. Don't bring your complaints about it here. If you have an issue with the email, share the issue with the sender. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't belong on the Potter Discussion.
Also, those who skipped over the guidelines, please refresh your memory.
You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages.

I've been running a website for close to 3 years, and those who know me have come to know that I am a lax admin. So when I say knock it off, I mean it.
Any more discussion about this legal nonsense and you will receive a One Week Ban. The Staff is sick of seeing it. You want to talk about it, take it off the boards.
So just to sum things up. Use common sense when you post pictures. As far as what is discussed, discuss about Potter all you want. Speculation is key.
