Supposing I'm Fred The Fed and I want to shut down Hexbear.net
What if I try to make a case that admins tolerate sharing copyrighted material in violation of Statute XYZ, so the site is illegal and should be seized.
You might say, "Copyright laws are dumb, man! Who cares!" but that doesn't matter. Tell that to the law.
Should we get a lawyer's advice on this? What steps does the site need to take to avoid heat?
sharing magnet links is kinda within laws already, as you are not doing anything one way or the other. piracy websites get got over receiving money from advertising as i understand it, sharing links to existing website is not illegal as well.
General axiom: take legal advice from lawyers.
Corollary: do not take legal advice from not-lawyers.
Non-lawyer axiom: if you think you're doing conspiracy, don't discuss said conspiracy, as it shows intent and awareness
Then why the fuck are you asking non-lawyers?
