I know, right? How dare they stop us from stealing movies and computer games!

100% understand why Lemmy World did this. Piracy opens the floodgates for legal trouble and is largely the reason why the piracy community over on Reddit is probably one of the most sanitized, locked-down and censored parts of the site.

Would you want a non-profit being sued to oblivion because somebody posted torrent links?
