I meant things like "Dungeons and Dragons" and the "Tetris" movie. They're even in the thumbnail! If you reward people tokens for sharing/seeding this kind of stuff, then you are very much deriving unsanctioned value from somebody elses work / intellectual property, which yes, is illegal.
If you want to use torrents to share literature, movies, music etc. that is from the public domain (e.g. older than 72 years without a renewed copyright claim) or if you want to use it to backup your own files or works then that's fine.
But you fully know that people will use it to pirate porn, series, games and movies. So what's the point of this discussion? This isn't about censorship, it's about common sense.
No one is being rewarded for seeding, no one is being rewarded for anything here except our words. And if we didnt talk about it there would be no words to reward.
When I vote your comment, am I sanctioning any behavior? How is it different from when you vote my post?. There is a link in there but I dont see any monetization of copyright material 🤔
Those that are seeding aren't earning anything; I'm just sharing a link or 'lucky number' as some might say.
That entire post is about how you didn't wanna pay 20 bucks for the DnD movie and then instead proceeded to torrent it because the streaming service was region-locked. Furthermore you continue by explaining how you did it and that others should do it and what method they can use.
Since it's on Hive it's also indirectly monetized and you are promoting the place that leads to it.
Just sayin' dawg.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
PS:
I thought the movie was pretty decent too.
