Sadly no. Its about piracy regulations and stuff like that. Many forum that I know also do that. You can always share a link or search music from YouTube, Vimeo or so. But not post a download link.

sorry, but RefixnarcisM is right.
we already deal with D M C A and copyright problems just with porn companies, but they are nothing compared to the problems that would arise if we started a music dl section.
the music companies are much more aggressive in enacting takedowns and prosecution ....
as RefixnarcisM says, it's fine to share youtube,vimeo links to your favourite songs. or music you would like to let other people know about. there are already several threads like this in the General Discussions area.

I don't think we should use the forum to share music like that, however mikey11 may have stumbled on another good idea. What if we add a board for music, and a board for things like movies? there's already one for video games.

I'm not sure what you mean by board but if you mean something that is part of Gay Heaven, then the short, unequivocal answer is NO for the reasons already given. The entertainment industry is fearsome and powerful and we most certainly do not want to attract their unwanted attention.

Board... Do you mean like discussion area? Sub topic section like in the general section? If that what it is then its fine I guess. You can make a thread in the general section to talk about movies and music you like or you've been watch, post a preview from YouTube and so then let the discussion begin.

Oh yes, discussion is fine. If it catches on we can consider a sub-forum for each.
Music is a big part of a gay man's life, I think everybody can agree on that. And since this forum is "gayheaven", then I think if we can make it more complete so much the better.
What I initially thought of "Sharing Music" is this: I was thinking primarily of music coming from AMATEUR people members of this forum. I'm sure GayHeaven has more than enough members that some of them would be aspiring singers / song writers. Then perhaps they can posts their own work here with SEPARATE and DISTINC section (NOT just in the "General Discussion" topic/thread). A section that says "AMATEUR MUSIC" with sub section that says "MP3" and "Music Video" etc. --This has the possibility of starting viral videos on the mainstream (who knows GayHeaven might just discover the next Village People).
The other thing is that users will not be necessarily be allowed to posts copyrighted materials (as per videos). As usual, Moderators have the right and obligations to delete copyrighted posts like Moderators normally does with videos. If this can work with videos, why can't it work with music.
The third thing in my mind when I suggests this idea is for PREVIEWING AND CRITIQUING music (either songs or music videos). Something to give buzz to those music we enjoy or hate.
Again, I'm just making suggestions. Please don't bark at me like "josh-the-hot-boy" did because my intension is just to make GayHeaven even more awesome. If making suggestions is not welcome here, then I will not do so again.
Thanks.

If you are an artist looking for critique, I would say that the best place to post up right now would be here: http://www.gayheaven.org/f73-graphics-and-writing.html. If there is great demand, we can look to alter the grouping to include self-made music as well.
What you have to understand here is that the workload is already quite high for all moderators here. Having to not only differentiate which porn is allowed and not allowed here is quite a large ask. Let alone to research and find out if each piece of music is amateur or non-amateur. For this reason, I would say using the current creative section and altering it's banding would be a better alternative.
And we do appreciate feedback here, just that any form of music sharing on here is a massive danger to the site and as such wouldn't be considered.

Of course. "At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;"
I think only if there is a strong need for it should we create subsections. At the moment it would create unnecessary strain on the moderator. Just my opinion.
