Seeing that the US managed to extradite a British citizen from his own country for hosting links, I would definitely say so. The right way is to do this is to host this on tor or similar and only advertise it on the internet behind a good vpn.
It's ridiculous that this is what people need to do to help others, but that's what ridiculous laws and circus courts get you.
- dredmorbius 4y agoWhich case are you referring to?
- lioeters 4y ago> Britain has authorised the extradition to the United States of a student who created a website allowing people to watch films and television shows for free, the interior ministry said on Tuesday. > ..[The 23-year-old student] allegedly earned tens of thousands of pounds (dollars) through advertising on the TVShack website before it was closed down by US authorities. > The student would be the first British citizen extradited for such an offence. He faces jail if found guilty of the charges, which were brought after a crackdown by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. > His lawyer had argued in court that the website did not store copyright material itself and merely directed users to other sites, making it similar to Google. > The lawyer also argued that his client was being used as a "guinea pig" for copyright law in the United States. https://phys.org/news/2012-03-britain-student-extradition-website.html https://phys.org/news/2012-03-britain-student-extradition-we...
