Title: Should I make an email account where people can download and access Trial Exams
Post by: danieltennis on September 15, 2008, 10:11:40 pm
Hey,
Do you think this is a good idea? :)

I think it would be going against copyright laws.

If you're going to go ahead with this idea (I'm not encouraging distributing copyrighted material, blah blah blah...), I doubt an email account is the best way to go about it. People can change the password.

Easier if you upload to megaupload, etc.

Most are readily available within the VCAA site, and providing exams from other companies could prove disastrous. I think there was a dilemma with a company and VN a while back over trial exams. Evidence please? :P

Lol at everyone on edge about copyright. Last year people were throwing exams at eachother over VN/BoS (or rather utilising a communal G-mail drive)

Yes, I remember that on BoS. If I correctly recall, someone changed the password, which is why it isn't a good way to go about it.




...not that I'm saying we should go about it :P

Well you could upload them somewhere but only tell the links to people who pm you and you know they're not going to sue you for copyright breaches...just an idea...

lol.

Don't say I didn't warn ya (although enwiabe would be copping the cease and desist letters on your behalf).

Do you think i should remove this thread Enwiable?

Are you serious? Do you think i should remove this thread Enwiable?

Yep, it's happened before. Can't remember the company though...
Title: Re: Should I make an email account where people can download and access Trial Exams
Post by: danieltennis on September 16, 2008, 12:45:29 am
Were there any legal action taken? Or they just warned Enwiable?

It's enwiabe, not Enwiable.

enwiabe complied with the cease and desist letter, from what I know.

Enwiabe complies with them but he thinks it is perfectly acceptable to allow stuff to be uploaded *until* he gets told otherwise.
I remember back when the site started, any posts with links to company exams were deleted. Now it is actually encouraged...

Enwiabe, if you ignore all my other questions, please tell me why your stance on it has changed from a year ago.

mmmm there's a couple things that should be made clear

1. WHY was the name registered as "vcenotes"? I am not aware that VN (specifically enwiabe) has embraced/adopted this idea... this can have legal implications which I'd like to not worry about, so...
I believe the mod team has turned a blind eye on this matter, (everyone bar excal don't really care), but I think using the VN name is a bit too much. This is your initiative, not VN's

2. WHY do we need a Gmail drive? it only takes one person to change the password and ruin it for everyone.. so...

what I had in mind was to use megaupload/omploader or rapidshare, and the uploader just post link(s) to the file download, an example can be found here: http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,5308.0.html


on a side note, I have a stash of exams which I am willing to share to trustworthy people. pm or msn for details

Here's your choice:

1) Favour intellectual property, and respect that past exams are never to be distributed on this site, or
2) Don't favour it, and also accept we don't have the right to the name "vcenotes" everywhere.
