  And “copyright” has so many different definitions around the planet that it’s impossible to say if any of their discussions are about infringement.

  They’re literally facilitating the sharing of torrents. That’s not “just talking about copyright infringement” that’s the facilitation of it.

    Torrent files also aren’t illegal.

    Also, you’re on the internet, which isn’t beholden solely to US copyright laws, so unless you’re a lawyer who specializes in international copyright law, I doubt you can speak with any certainty to the legality of post content in every jurisdiction across the globe.

    Here’s an idea: if you don’t want to see that content, block the community.

      They are illegal when they contain copyrighted material like games or movies, which is what those contain, they literally say it.

      Also, you’re on the internet, which isn’t beholden solely to US copyright laws

      It’s illegal in the US and either way it’s against lemmy.world’s server rules, specifically rule 1

      No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

      I think you’re defending it because you’re a pirate.

        Torrent files do not contain any copyrighted material.
