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.
Yeah, I thought about including a NordVPN advertisement in my comment… Do people do that? I mean sure it’s an additional privacy technique. But I regularly just talk about whatever legal things I like and I don’t take this too seriously. It’s my regular internet connection. I make a clean cut after that, though. If I now were to download something, I’d think about not doing it in plain sight. And I’d use a different username to sign up somewhere if needed.
Though, I forgot to talk about different jurisductions. And for example where I live, I can’t give someone instructions on how to commit a crime. Or help doing illegal things. So that’s another thing I avoid.
And I’m kind of talking about: talking about piracy. Not doing it. If you share links in an underground forum, or upload some movies, you’d need way more security measures in place.
