*Leaks and Scans Are Prohibited
As excitement and news continues to circulate in popular gaming publications around the world, we thought it would be prudent to remind you that posting scans of copyrighted material (such as a picture printed in a magazine) is illegal.
As a result, doing so is prohibited under the Bungie.net Terms of Use and Code of Conduct, by which all users here have agreed that they will not:
Upload files or post messages that contain photos, music, software or other material protected by intellectual property laws, rights of privacy or publicity, or any other applicable law unless you own or control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consents.
Bungie has notified the moderators of these forums that posting scans of copyrighted material will result in a minimum ban of thirty days, with possible permanent ban.
Moreover, any user claiming to have, linking to, asking for, or otherwise discussing material that they believe to be inappropriately "leaked" will be banned for a minimum of thirty days with possible permanent ban "Leaked" material includes any material not officially released by Bungie via its website, its employees in their official capacity, or to the press.
Please be sure to abide by these rules, as leaks and illegal content on Bungie.net are fought with the strictest measures.
No mention of a timeframe for legality.
