Not sure where to ask this, so I'll ask here. Linking to pirate sites (not content) is okay here as I understand it. However my account is with Lemmy.world, which in its "rules" specifically states "Protect our community from harassment, malicious or illegal content". Would I technically be at the whim of Lemmy.world by linking to pirate sites, or do I have some leeway here?
This kind of Piracy (not to be confused with the whole ship plundering one) is not a crime in most of the World, rather it's a Civil Law affair, so roughly in the same basket as breach-of-contract.
I suspect the whole "illegal content" stuff is about things like child porn or bomb making instructions, not breach of copyright.
I think when they say 'illegal content' they mean, like, drugs and terrorism. Piracy probably ranks pretty low on the list.
Now yes the definition of piracy technically fits in the definition of 'illegal content', but just because two definitions intersect doesn't mean you will get the logical consequences. The word of the rules is one thing, the rules in practice is another, so i think you can get away with a lot regardless of instance.
Besides, do the rules apply to the instance where you have your account, or to the instance where you're posting/commenting? I genuinely don't know
