After some team discussion this morning, we have decided that we will not allow links to Torrent sites to be posted at Cable Forum. While we acknowledge that there are legitimate, legal uses for P2P networks, the fact is the majority of content available via the links posted above is warez of one kind or another.

With organisations like the MPAA becoming increasingly litigious over these issues we do not intend to risk allowing Cable Forum to become a soft target for a lawsuit by being seen to condone or encourage breach of copyright.

So, please, discuss P2P all you like but do not post a link to any downloads site unless you can guarantee all of its content is 100% legal.
