“Should we stay federated with a community that has the very real potential of producing content that is illegal for us to share and in turn risk getting sued?
[ ] Risk your livelihood so we can continue accessing the content
[ ] Be lame and preemtively defederate”
And that is why I don’t torrent, living in Germany. Even just leeching will put you on the radar of, at best scam law firms, at worst motivated rights-holders.
