Anyone who has something illegal in their home, or does anything illegal, should always be concerned & accept the risk that they could end up in jail for their actions. Whats new there? This is the same with music & movie copyright piracy too, I'm sure admin understand how crime & justice works

Forum discussion boards will never be ended, but hosting of illegal files may be an issue. 'Illegal file' hosting and legit forums dont mix well, but I am sure the forum owner has no problem removing any files that are reported or found to be illegal (if we have any). Traders and those earning from illegal activity are also not welcome here and permanent bans are actively issued.
There are many hundreds of people that use this forum as its intended, and therefore many are not doing anything illegal per se. Modshack, H and NA were found to be commiting crime and intentionally making profit from it, I dont believe the articles tell the full case. Personally I dont like their outcome & sentance, but i'm sure they would both agree- "if you cant do the time then dont do the crime".
