FILE LEECHING
ThrillNetwork/SpeedZone has the ability to store files uploaded by you, the members, for download by anyone and everyone. We here at ThrillNetwork encourage this sharing of:

Roller Coaster Tycoon
Ultimate Ride
No Limits
Ultra Coaster 
Scream Machines
Sim Theme Park
Other Coaster Games

Track and park files, and other files for whatever purpose. File Leeching is when our bandwidth is used to supply files for download and display elsewhere on the Internet by direct links to the file in question. 

When you post a message or a link on another website to get to the file you posted here, please do not link directly to the file. Please instead link to the page that the file is located on.

File leeching, particularly image leeching, is starting to become a problem on the Internet, and stealing images off of websites without the copyright holder's permission for other purposes is illegal. 

Leeching is considered a) displaying the image/file directly from another website without permission (in this case, copyright infringement as well as bandwidth theft is occurring) or b) copying the file and uploading it without the author's permission (most especially when it is copyrighted). 

If the file carries a copyright on it, you may not post or display it on our site unless the copyright holder has let us know that permission has indeed been given to post it on this site.
