Not sure where to ask this, so I'll ask here. Linking to pirate sites (not content) is okay here as I understand it. However my account is with Lemmy.world, which in its "rules" specifically states "Protect our community from harassment, malicious or illegal content". Would I technically be at the whim of Lemmy.world by linking to pirate sites, or do I have some leeway here?

This kind of Piracy (not to be confused with the whole ship plundering one) is not a crime in most of the World, rather it's a Civil Law affair, so roughly in the same basket as breach-of-contract.

I suspect the whole "illegal content" stuff is about things like child porn or bomb making instructions, not breach of copyright.
