PPN CONTENT GUIDELINES FOR USERS OF PPN

Items sold on or through the PPN service must follow our content policy and guidelines, detailed below. Producers or sellers of items are expected to conduct proper research to ensure that the content distributed, or items sold through the Public Place Network service are compliant with all local, provincial, national, and international laws. If Public Place Network determines that the content of an item is prohibited, we may summarily remove or alter it without returning any fees the listing has incurred. Public Place Network reserves the right to make judgments about whether content is appropriate.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with some examples of prohibited content:

Pornography

Pornography, X-rated movies, home porn, hard-core material that depict graphic sexual acts, and amateur porn are not permitted. Unrated erotic videos and DVDs of the type you'd find at a typical bookstore are permitted for DVD distribution. Any permitted nudity, graphic titles, and descriptions must be sufficiently concealed with censor strips on all items containing such content.

Offensive Material

What we deem offensive is probably about what you would expect. This includes items such as crime-scene videos, videos of cruelty to animals, and extremely disturbing materials. Public Place Network reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of items sold on our network. Also, be aware of cultural differences and sensitivities. Some materials may be acceptable in one country, but unacceptable in another. Please keep in mind our global community of customers.

Illegal Items

Content sold through the Public Place Network service must adhere to all applicable laws. This includes the sale of content by individuals outside of Canada. Some content that may not be sold include any content which may lead to the production of an illegal item or illegal activity.

Stolen Goods

If Public Place Network learns that a content item is not the property of our Licensee, or was obtained through illegal means, we will immediately remove the content item from our service.

Items that Infringe Upon an Individual's Privacy

Public Place Network holds personal privacy in the highest regard. Therefore, items that infringe upon, or have potential to infringe upon, an individual's privacy are prohibited. Additionally, the sale of analytics, marketing lists (bulk e-mail lists, direct-mail marketing lists, etc.) is prohibited.

Recopied Media

Copies, dubs, duplicates, or transfers of music, videos, software, images, etc., are prohibited. Just as you cannot sell a photocopied book without the author's permission, you cannot sell copies or duplicates of videos, music, video games, software, photos, etc. Likewise, you cannot sell transferred media – whether captured to video, CD-ROM, or from the Internet to any digital format--unless explicitly approved by the author.

Movies

Unauthorized copies of content may not be sold through Public Place Network. Also, movies that have been transferred from one format to another (unless done by the proper rights holder) are not permitted. For example, NTSC to Pal and Pal to NTSC conversions are not permitted unless done by the proper rights holder. Unreleased/pre-release movies, screeners and trailers are prohibited.

Television Programs

Unauthorized copies of television programs, including pay-per-view events, are prohibited. Commercially produced and licensed copies of television programs are permitted. Unauthorized television programs and unauthorized copies of programs never broadcast, unauthorized scripts, unauthorized props, and screeners are prohibited.

Music

Recopied music in any format is prohibited. Bootlegs, unauthorized live concerts, unauthorized soundboard recordings, unauthorized merchandise, etc., is not permitted. Content containing unlicensed popular music as its soundtrack is not permitted. Likewise, "mix" downloads (MP3 etc) of unlicensed music are not permitted. Please see our Copyright Guidelines for additional information on rights.

Promotional Media

Movie trailers, Music, software, etc., that are produced and distributed for promotional use are acceptable on the Public Place Network as long as all appropriate licencing and permissions have been acquired and are legally in place.
