@m_waqas
You have no idea, from now onwards no posting from Autosport because now even the news pieces are premium content and they are threatening for legal action if we(Me and UK) don't stop posting that stuff. I will reveal more details later as I have sent a PM to @UK and I am waiting for his response.

@Blackeye117
Bro, no more requests for Autosport Premium Articles.

@Libra
Sir, I have deleted those contents which I have posted from their site now only @UK's post containing their contents remains, I have sent him a PM asking him to remove them but if he doesnot comes online in the next 24 hours, You should delete those articles.

I am sorry, I really have no idea that this could be counted as copyright violations.

@m_waqas
As promised, here is the full detail of what happened and why we have to delete autosport articles both premium content and news pieces, Yesterday evening I was browsing through Autosport Forum when I received a PM from Autosport Editor Eli, Here is the whole PM discussion between me and them:

Well, now that I know you read these messages, maybe we should discuss what you are doing with our news and features?

What do you mean by that??

https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/wheels-fan...eason-2012-a-81

There are discussions about getting lawyers involved, so I thought I'd talk to you first.

Sorry, I don't know that I can't post the article from autosport site to some other place, I will delete it immediately.

Well, I'm pretty sure you did know, as you post features and news in full because they are behind the paywall otherwise. For other sites, you post links. I've been following that for a bit now and you have been doing it for years.

I'm afraid that unless you remove ALL the content you have published over the years there, you may get in trouble. And you may get that website in trouble too. And if UncleKracker wants to avoid trouble, he should do the same.

I was posting the links for your website too for years until you decided to limit the access, thats when I decided that as we need more information from your website because we accept your website as one of the best source of information about motorsports news so we will post the full articles. I will try to delete them as soon as possible but give me some time for that. Also, Unclekracker will be notified for deleting his posts.

I hope I could get the a day or 2 for that. Thanks.

So, now you could see thats what the reason we have to stop posting from their website.

I am with that website. Stop copying their stuff.

m_waqas (m_waqas) 2012-08-10 10:48:57 +0500 #1614

hi Steve, thanks for clarification. noted. Also i got your PM, will remove any Autosport article that i've posted ever (which is very rare). Still i'll check and remove if any.

AutoSport policy regarding their material is respected.

hahaha .. good times are over dude. its a shame but its their stuff. they do whatever they want. lets find another good resource for our F1 appetite, i m sure there are many which are still really for F1 fans.

what i don't understand is, if i pay and read some news on Autosport.com, am i not allowed to talk about that news? and how can i talk (over the net) if people don't know what i m talking about :S .. god.. ok. whatever.

m_waqas (m_waqas) 2012-08-10 11:08:59 +0500 #1615

one more thing. what if we post/share something from some site or some guy's blog thinking that its his material and it turns out to be AS, then what?

Can i post Autosport Mag's cover (which is available for viewing for all :S )? Are they out of bounds too ?? :S asking for permission because i need to post one of their posters.

I am seeing this cover on some site right now with site owner's comments on image and all that

@NakedTruth
Bro, I think you need to grow up before commenting again on this forum, if you have no idea what really happens then I can't help you at all. Your opinion that we should stop copying their articles is not correct because we were not copying their articles until they decided to limit the access to their website at the start of this month. I even post that news link which state that if you want to see it go back a page or 2 to found that link. As for their premium content, the person who is posting them is a premium subscriber who wants to share it with other people and he has every right to do that because he has bought it from them.

@m_waqas
Bro, saved that for the time being you could post it later I don't want any more autosport's people intervention for now.

As for your curiosity, that how any one would discuss something if he can't share the original content I also want to know that but I think we should discuss this later. Some other good resources are Crash.net and F1Fanatic.co.uk these both are free to view sites for now so lets enjoy them.

Blackeye117 (Irteza Khan ) 2012-08-10 13:42:54 +0500 #1617

Done ,. Let me Know If You've recieved it or not

m_waqas (m_waqas) 2012-08-10 14:24:09 +0500 #1618

exactly.

haha. don't worry. i understand

lolz. just saw this as i was trying to find my post where i, god forbid, posted any article from Autosport. what can i say, we live in the world of capitalism. we are surrounded by it. and are victim of it we even mostly work to strengthen it in our daily lives :S

genius83 (Mohammad Saad Umar) 2012-08-10 17:10:37 +0500 #1619

@Blackeye117
Got your email will let you know through mail why I need it.

@m_waqas
The bigger funny point is if you check any autosport link they are allowing community sharing like twitter, facebook and google+1, but they are not allowing the same thing on another community website like PW.

What I found really annoying was they are saying that they are following us for years and they knows that we are doing it for years too, so why don't intervene earlier why now, the reason is simple they were lucky to caught me now with that post that they mentioned and then they check the 1 or 2 previous pages and found those premium contents posted by UK. If I act a bit stubborn they would ended defending themselves for wrong accusations.

On a sidenote, we have missed a chance of making Pakwheels famous world wide as bad publicity is the best publicity.
