From BoyWiki
How to requests file uploads

Only sysops and uploaders on BoyWiki have access to upload files. Therefore, this procedure has been set up to allow regular users to suggest files for uploading. BoyWiki users may also submit new images via email for consideration.

Instructions

Users

Provide: (1) a URL for an image that you would like an authorized file uploader to upload; (2) a proposed filename; (3) a proposed licensing tag; (4) a proposed upload comment; and (5) your signature (~~~~).

Sysops

Review each item and mark either {{Done}} or {{Rejected}}. In the case of a rejection, provide a brief rationale (e.g. "Out of project scope").

The question of allowing links to .torrents was settled several years ago. There must be a disclaimer re: the responsibility of the downloader in determining the legality in his jurisdiction.

For example:

  • 2011 post:

If you live in a jurisdiction where downloading books for personal use and not-for-profit use is protected/allowed by law (and therefore *not* a copyright violation) these books may be found on P2P file-sharing sites.*
(Obey your local/national copyright laws!)
OBEY YOUR LOCAL COPYRIGHT LAWS!
If you live where downloading copyrighted material for personal, non-profit use is permitted by law, you might want to download:
OBEY YOUR LOCAL LAWS.
Obey your local copyright laws. Some jurisdictions allow downloading copyrighted material for personal, non-profit use.
(OBEY YOUR LOCAL COPYRIGHT LAWS!)
Obey your local copyright laws. Some jurisdictions allow downloading copyrighted material for personal, non-profit use.
Only download material where it is legal to do so. Obey your local copyright laws.

If my system wasn't so slow, I could give you many more examples.

The question was decided long ago at BC - there must be a disclaimer. That's all.

And about Hagen's book - if you go to her site you see that her site gives permission to download the book. She is the author.
