I’m new around here, so I’d appreciate some context if anyone knows…
What are the legal ramifications of discussing piracy online?
What are the lines in the sand one should not cross?
What do you do to make sure you stay safe out there?
I know linking to specific pirated content is against the communities rules so that seems like an obvious no no.
In where I live; no one cares for personal piracy. There have been local tracker owners busted; but the law enforcement did not go after each member individually; even though they could’ve according to law.
Legal ramifications? Highly unlikely; unless you’re explaining how to break copy prevention methods. That’s considered illegal in a lot of countries afaik.
As for lines you should not cross; I see ethics as more of a concern than anything. If you’re trying to learn how to use some software feel free to pirate it; but if you go into the level where you make a significant income out of it; you really should pay for it.
