Where is the C3 paper?

I assume you want yesterday's paper? This is for edexcel, on first post: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=599755

same here....

I imagine it may have something to do with TSR not wanting to be sued for breach of copyright.

Who on earth decided to let Edexcel copyright what should be public property. Absolutely ridiculous...

Edexcel? The law?

I doubt copyright has anything to do with it, otherwise all pastpaper/markscheme threads would be closed. I think it just has something to do with the fact that these are THE most recent papers (some only a day old!) I myself posted a recent paper and was asked by the mods "not to post recent papers" and that was all.

The thread seems to have vanished but the direct links to the .pdf's still work:

Markscheme

Question Paper

Meh. I took an educated guess. Mind, it might also be to do with the way in which it is presented. A fragmented discussion of various questions is arguably different to a produced 'finished' document.

Yeah, but why would they mind us posting the papers, I can understand about the unofficial mark scheme though.

Because the papers are produced, and copyrighted, by Edexcel. So posting them is a breach of copyright. Of course, if people are simply sharing via TSR, there's not much they can do about it - I think it's any attempt at an ordered database of past papers that they have to avoid strongly, because anything else is really outside their powers. There'll always be PM and duplicate accounts and email address swapping.
