It’s not illegal to teach people how to download things, regardless of the ethics surrounding it.

Plus, it costs money to run a server that hosts a public discussion forum. It’s not illegal to ask for donations to support that.

We don’t allow direct links to pirated content. Read the sidebar rules. You don’t seem to understand the community.

You do understand that hosting copyrighted works, and linking to them are two entirely different things?

I don’t need to do nothing because as I said, there’s no copyrightable content hosted here.

Now go over to /r/piracy on reddit and ask them why they’re not taken down. We’ll be waiting.

it says Dedicated to the discussion of digital piracy.

Read that again, very slowly.

What are you even talking about? Are you talking about a specific website? There are…so many misspelled words and run-on sentences…I’m done trying to decipher this. Is English your first language?

I’m very sad for you if your native language is English

Are you OK? The Thought Police haven’t made DISCUSSING or TALKING about piracy illegal yet.

You’re not making a lot of sense here. And I don’t really see where the simple act of discussing digital piracy would warrant it illegal. Now actually pirating is illegal and varies from person to person and location to location. It is something you just do and should already accept the risky circumstances involved in doing so.

I think asking for donations is a lot less attention grabbing, than it is getting advertisers, which is what the point of donations is for, is to prevent having to resort to advertising.
