ROCKETTORRENTS USERS

It is illegal for you to use RocketTorrents to share copyrighted files without permission. Downloading RocketTorrents does not constitute a license for obtaining or distributing unauthorized files. When you download RocketTorrents software from www.RocketTorrents.com, you agree to refrain from using RocketTorrents for the purpose of copyright infringement.

SHARING FILES IN YOUR LIBRARY

Everything you share with RocketTorrents becomes public and trackable. To check which files you''re sharing, open RocketTorrents and click on "Shared Files" in the upper-left directory. Clicking on the folders (and sub-folders) will show the files you''re sharing. To use RocketTorrents legally, you must have the owner''s permission to share every file in your Library on the Gnutella network. For example, music and movies from major labels and movie studios are copyrighted, and you do not have permission to share these files (even if you bought them). If you''re having trouble determining if a file is OK to share, here are a few ideas that may help:

Look in the "License" column within the RocketTorrents program to see if a file has a shareable license type.

Files that another user has published as Creative Commons appear as . A file with a verified Creative Commons license is legal to share. You can verify a specific file by right-clicking on the CC icon, selecting "View License" and selecting "Verify". Files with unverified Creative Commons licenses may still be illegal to share.

Weedshare files appear as in the License column, and can be legally shared. These files have DRM (Digital Rights Management) that allows users to play the file three times for free before deciding to buy.

Search for a registration with the US Copyright Office database. A work may still be copyrighted and illegal to share even if it''s not registered with the US Copyright Office.

Check out www.magnetmix.com for more songs and videos that are free and legal to share.

DOWNLOADING FILES ON THE GNUTELLA NETWORK

There are many programs other than RocketTorrents that connect users to the Gnutella network. Keep in mind that many users disobey copyright law -- downloading copyrighted files from such users means you''re both breaking the law!

ROCKETTORRENTS FILTERING FEATURES

Enabling Filtering helps users share files with RocketTorrents more safely and responsibly. At the time of installation, you will be prompted to select your filtering options. At any time, you can set Filtering Options by selecting ''Filters'' in the menu and then ''Configure Content Filters''.
