It's definitely used for pirated stuff. Put any technical book title into google with site:github.com in it and click the first PDF that shows up.

  There's also a font piracy site that simply trawls public Github repos for the font's filename

Probably because you have to be somewhat familiar with git to be able to upload stuff to it, there is a barrier of entry.

  Not really. Click on Add File -> Upload files on top of the repository view then "drag files [there] to add them to your repository".

      It's just linked to an email. If it's anonymous enough for forum users, it's anonymous enough for people to use it.

There was a project called "Dick ML" though, which I believe was used by some idiots to spam Zed Shaw with invitations.

I'm sure their community team has to deal with a LOT of shit on a daily basis, even after automated checks and filtering.

I've stumbled upon some, FWIW–I think I was searching for file carvers or something like that.
