ihateusernames5342 OP , (edited ) to piracy in What exactly is it that makes it legal for r/piracy to list various copyright infringing resources in its megathread, and how could I do the same on my website?

I am sorry, I don’t understand the quotation marks around the word “illegal”. I did not use this word anywhere.

EDIT:

Oh, I see now, you were referring to the title.

What makes it “illegal”?

I read in many places that it is illegal to do so, but not why.

Thanks for replying.

It would not require much effort to go after me. I’d be using code hosting services like codeberg or github. They would only have to write an email to the hosting provider, which would take a look at the publicly hosted code and shut it down if there is any copyright infringement. So to answer your question: Pretty much everyone would be powerful enough, and if the project is successful it should be worth it for the game company to go after me. Therefore, I would want to make sure there is no claim for copyright infringement to begin with on the mothership-website. Building a community around a project that has to switch domains on a monthly basis would not inspire trust.
