Settle on a domain - winampforum.com or winampforums.com

I won't host anything in violation of Playsystem trademarks. If you will get me written permission to use the AMP trademark, we're in business. I would do some work to make this work. I don't piss in the wind.
Despite assurances I am 100% sure that Playsystems won't appreciate any dilution of the AMP brand. Any successful board will be a dead board.
I can send 480 video anywhere on the planet. I have the juice. What I don't have the right to do is infringe other peoples trademarks. I don't have the right to use WinAMP logos. That's copyright infringement.
Now... go grab ROH's posts about how to open your router or whatever... because I have CCL-zeroed everything I ever wrote here and you can do whatever.
But you guys can't xerox this web. And I don't see a percentage in trademark and copyright infringement. You might get away with that briefly. It's not something you should try to build a web on.
You might do some reading on the destruction of Stage 6, which wasn't as much of a tangle as the AMP brand. Remember kids... MacAMP is MaCast?
Call up Playsystems. I'll bet you a dollar they object in 30 seconds and do a 10 second quarter mile doing it.
If you guys scrape together a web that's a piece of shit and doesn't work,.. they might leave you alone...
If you guys can come up with an idea that isn't a crime, you have all the hosting you can use. I have ran a board before and am an agnostic sysop.
But what I'm looking at here is something that you'd just get to rolling and I'd get a nastygram and have to yank it. Seems like a lot of trouble for something I know is gonna get creamed the first time a lawyer gets bored.
I don't even think it would be cool to host skins w/o author permission. Find me some way to help without my legal dick hanging out... I'd help.
