I don’t know why people feel indignated by this, they’re just trying to save thier ass and prevent future problems with the law. Chill out
If the server isn’t hosting pirated content they have nothing to be concerned about.
Facilitating info to get pirated content isn’t illegal or punishable? i’ve seen sites get DMCA’s for featuring links even when the files aren’t hosted in that website
afaik, [email protected] only discusses piracy related topics, but people don’t explicitly share links to downloads or torrents.
