Since its inception, RxPG website has been very strict against sharing of illegal material in forums and we have been proactive in banning any individuals attempting to do so. The following piece of news should be an eye opener for those who attempt to do so under the false sense of security that perceived anonymity on internet. It also highlights the potentially dangerous grounds many of the USMLE
forums are treading on.

It seems Kaplan is getting serious about piracy. We can expect more such actions in places like India and Pakistan in near future where this piracy is rampant. I advice all members to take care while posting stuff in forums.
Although we keep on editing all the clear violators of TOS, its the common sense of the members while posting that will help them the most.
