Uhm...Uhmmsf...well..Your first answer was OK but..

Let take it from the beginning

* Huw posted a message that he has the scans of not published vendors
catalogs with unreleased (yet) set scans. Assuming Vendor catalogs and
unreleased set info is not legal:
    - Posting a link to it is OK according to T&C. Having illegal things on
a site is owner's responsibility, not Lugnet's business, but Todd's business
as being both a fan and a friend of Huw. (I'm OK with that)
    - Message was against T&C SINCE it also had set information, which is
preassumedly illegal. (I'm OK with that, too)

* Remy posted a message with full of www.lego.com URLs pointing to
unreleased set pictures
    - Posting a link was OK according to T&C, but he was very guilty. Why?
(I lost here first)
    - These links were from www.lego.com (publicly available) so he
shouldn't be guilty. Yes, but posting links was not against T&C at the
beginning, regardless of where they are pointing to, lego.com or foo.bar,
wasn't it?) (Here I started to ask myself who am I, where is this place,
etc..)

I saw the thread of Remy case as a whole, and saw that it started and
finished somehow. But I think it shouldn't be started at all, since he only
posted URLs, not the information itself, so nothing done against T&C. All I
want to know is what I couldn't get yet (the difference between the two
cases).

So, I'm confused more now..:-(
