I'm new around here, so I'd appreciate some context if anyone knows...

What are the legal ramifications of discussing piracy online?
What are the lines in the sand one should not cross? What do you do to make sure you stay safe out there?

I know linking to specific pirated content is against the communities rules so that seems like an obvious no no.

You can speak freely in anonymous and encrypted channels e.g a matrix server on I2P/TOR, a signal group (just don't use your name), simplex, retroshare over I2P, etc. Telegram is not encrypted!

Just search for "piracy $channel" e.g "piracy I2P chat", "piracy simplex chat", "piracy signal chat", or something similar and you'll find something. There might even be a forum hosted on TOR or I2P if the piracy community is that motivated.

But always remember not to give too many details about yourself. Being anonymous isn't just a technical requirement, it also required personal effort. Tech can't do everything for you.
