So now that we’ve moved from Reddit, what’s the stance on linking content? Or even discussing releases? Still a bad move?
I know it was stopped on Reddit due to the risk of the sub being taken down. But here there is no risk (for now) ?
I would say that’s still a bad move. There is not “no risk”, as it could still put the owners of the Lemmy instance in danger. So be respectful to those who are hosting this instance and don’t link copyright infringement.
we could all use base64 when linking stuff.
Server is hosted in Europe. They don’t have to answer to DMCA request but I believe there is a similar framework under EU laws. I think it would avoid a lot of headaches for the owner of the instance to avoid direct link to pirated content.
I also believe it’s more interesting to have a community discuss piracy as a topic rather than just becoming a repository of pirated content. There’s plenty of website who do that better and they can be linked in the sidebar
