The only thing I'm not a fan of is the customized login screen. I'd prefer it to be as stock as possible if it were up to me, to be honest. Looks great besides that though!
I tried to keep it as original as possible. The login screen background is the same as in build 8400. Custom wallpapers (non-Microsoft) weren't used.

Yes.
Well I meant I would have preferred if you kept the original Build 6730 login background (whatever that was, Vista's I think?), just to make it seem more "official".

It's illegal. None of you have the right to distribute this piece of copyrighted software. Like every other Microsoft beta on this site.

The only people who can legitimately distribute Windows on the internet is Microsoft and its digital download partners (Digital River, etc). This even applies to publicly available, free copies, such as current betas. The only people who can legitimately download from those legitimate sources are those with a legitimate license to the software in question.
Anything else is strictly illegal.
"Hounsell said, and cut off" - (One old saying) Hounsell, I want to ask you something, are you a lawyer and how do you justifying your thinking that you are skilled enought to interpret the types of licencing, distribution, licences, relation between them and ect... First according to me the administrators are those who found the site and they should choose the moderators or that should be done with public voting from all site members, but this can only be case about sites which can not be in conflict with interantional law, not for sites or forums on which are published topics boudary between legality and piracy. For all of that, I sincerly recommend to administrators to provide moderator who is an expert in international law or international trade law.

No. I have dignity.

Experience. And the ability to read English, even the type used in legal documents like EULAs.

Andy found the site and he does chose the moderators - he consults mrpijey, and sometimes some of the other staff, but it's ultimately his decision. BA will never be a democracy.

There are no expert lawyers on this forum to my knowledge, so that'll be difficult.
Not that you need to be an expert to know that clear-cut copyright infringement is illegal. As for the specific case you bought up of download rights - I know that from experience when a site I hosted got issued a Cease and Desist from MS Legal about hosting a copy of the public Windows 7 Beta during the period it was available from the MS site.

Lawyers - that is their professionalism, their job, their second most important thing after private live, so everyone of us can read EULAs but sometime that isn't enough, because some of them are not supported in all countries, I want to say if something is punishable in one country that mustn't be also in all other countries. So for the BA Community only one thing is matter - where is server hosted nothing else, every site can link piracy and that isn't punishable because that is only a text not the files. However every problem can be solved with one simple rule "Site doesn't take any responsibilities for users actions or publishing, if somethings goes wrong you are agree with that what we will send your personal information to law enforcement." All sites which made this as default rule don't care for posting of their customers whether they are related to piracy or not.

Whatever. Continue living in complete denial. The parts of the EULA we're discussing here will be valid in every country that's signed up to the WTO - the vast majority of countries. Most observers will also respect the rules also. Essentially the only countries where you can legally break the parts of the EULA relevant here and pirate software with no technical legal concern are the ones in Dark Brown, Red or Grey on this map. The server is hosted in France, so no chance to deny the truth there. Your suggestion that the site takes no responsibility would not hold up on the basis we have a staff-curated FTP server. This isn't particularly complex stuff, just try reading up instead of lying to yourself.
