The real question in my mind is: how do we ensure the instance this community is on doesn't get shut down? Seems to me like c/piracy itself might be a legal target, and as far as I can tell, none of the instances are big enough to have legal teams to sheild it from legal threats

Can we just emulate the rules that the torrenting subreddits use? They still exist after years.

There have also been some lawsuits. And Reddit has huge lawyer teams.

I thought those rules were pretty much "talk about torrents but not about content"

Make sure the instance is located in countries which are anti-censorship?
