While I'm sure you're on the up and up, please understand WHY I've taken this route.
(By all means, if you wanted to post HOW others can download the files then please do)
That's an interesting rule. I didn't consider what you wrote before this. Is that because you cannot validate it for viruses etc? How about long term users? Can we post similar links instead? Or is it because it's in a zip and noone can tell WHAT type of files are in is (as opposed to links to "raw" files themselves? It might be worth adding it to the board rules a-proper.
I'm sure it's not copyright, as the files are there, officially, for the taking, right?
EDIT: - Could anyone here send them to you, Burn, and, once vetted, they be hosted at this site, or the links given validation?
BTW: Whats the status on this? Can we at least get a link that can get us to the link? (With search instructions)
I can understand that this site is leaning on the safe side, but for those of us who can download stuff safely at least give us a path to the link...
From what I gather, and from went Burn told me regarding the site's position on hosting/linking to full scans of the Legends comic (while it was on sale in Japan), Seibertron's "Rule 3" doesn't allow any content to be hosted or linked to while it is being sold, presumably in the USA (as the Legends comics, as part of the toys, were being sold while this site hosted/linked to images of them).
With regards to the soundtrack, there might be a time when TLKOS is unavailable, like AOE's is (
https://m.facebook.com/SteveJablonskyOf ... 4193663390 ). However, currently, TLK's is still available via iTunes. That said, the version being asked for is not the same as the version at iTunes, and is more akin to a "sample" than a full soundtrack. Thus, it could be considered as not being sold and as suitable as the comics to download.
However, Burn might have blocked the link, as he couldn't validate if it was SAFE. As the files were (ironically) grouped together in a zip folder, there is no way to know what is in them before opening. I'm not aware of any malware or viruses that can automatically infect any system upon opening a zip, though, so I'm still puzzled as to why they were removed.
You could always PM Burn, or the site. For me, someone already PMed me and simply gave me the link to get all of the files together that way.
