Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team's necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates. I look forward to you to taking this tacit Reddit endorsement of digital piracy to heart in the coming days!

I don't know how long I'll remain around. I seem to have caught the eye of Sauron and I'm not the top mod anymore. Hopefully the remaining mods won't scab but it's out of my control now.

Feel free to join me at the failback forum. You know where ;) It's fun being an unshackled pirate once more!

They won't let us live, they won't let us die.

Honestly its for the best that we move here anyways. Way fewer restrictions over here.

Honestly, regarding the fewer restrictions thing, why do we still have rules against not sharing links? What's gonna stop the community since it's more free from authority?

I'd imagine, if the server the instance is located is in a place like the US, you'd be at risk of being taken down. But I'm just totally guessing.

Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.

Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.

Think of it as an extra safety measure. You never know, better safe than sorry.

I pinged the ip and looked it up. It seems to be located in Germany. Hmm... 🤔 Not sure if they're strict or lenient on piracy

They are probably one of the most strict.
