&#170;	tired of the crap rls from the p2p that make our good releases become
&#170;	dupe. These rules are a translation with small modifications of the 
      set of rules we have been using actively in the spanish scene since the  
      3rd of March 2008. We hope that the dupenets take a closer look to the 
      p2p spanish rsl from groups like SpainScene,TED,T.E.D,Paradiso,Franco...
      from now own. FUCK p2p.
