having a donate page to a thread with piracy is not a good idea. this should be separated as much as possible. because if it does get to much attention that shit will be shut down.

    It’s not illegal to teach people how to download things, regardless of the ethics surrounding it.

    Plus, it costs money to run a server that hosts a public discussion forum. It’s not illegal to ask for donations to support that.

      it says Dedicated to the discussion of digital piracy. digital piracy is illegal it has nothing to do with the ethics it can just be used as a pretext to take your hosting away. and if they really want to go after you you now have literally attached your bank account and by extension your name. there is a reason why torrent sites use monero and tor. never ever attach your real identity with anything to do with piracy you are asking for problems. that’s why im saying its a bad idea. its one of those things that’s going to come back to bite you eventually.
