minus-squareHot Saucerman@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoPretty sure all the piracy communities I’ve seen have rules about not directly linking to any infringing content. Mainly its piracy discussions. Here is a whole ass post from the admin of this instance about not directly linking: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/18438 This post is linked under the main rules of this community, Rule 3. Don’t request of link to specific pirated titles. Meaning this is a joke of a line of reasoning, you’re not “protecting” anyone by limiting discussion.
minus-squarelaylawashere44@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah but the piracy subreddit also had those rules and various companies still sent notices to reddit. Sure they were bullshit, but copyright law puts the burden of proof on the alleged infringers not the copyright holders.
minus-squareHot Saucerman@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoSomeone here claimed they were in the Netherlands, turns out that’s not true they’re hosted in Finland. I didn’t know the USA’s DMCA applied to the country of Finland. Reddit still got them because they’re a fucking US company based in the fucking US. This shit is like people not understanding that The Pirate Bay didn’t have to follow US laws back in the day. Infuriatingly fucking dumb.
