New Anime: Wangan Midnight

Sorry, but there is no such thing as "laws that cover internet". It is true that is some cases, like torrents, it is hard to see whether the torrentfiles itself are legal or not but mostly it depends per country.

And that is the main problem: there are no "laws that cover the internet" so it is very hard to prove that something is illegal or not. If there were "laws that covered the internet" they probably already would have said it is illegal to download copyrighted material no matter what and where. Too much money involved and too much pressure from the (entertainment) industry.

Take the Piratebay for instance: they haven't been convicted yet, but does that mean it is completely legal to host or link to torrents? No it is not. Does that mean they can convict me for linking to torrents on this forum? No, not yet but I'd rather keep it that way.

That's the whole reason we decided that direct links to torrents are not allowed, however if you say that you can find them at a certain website it is not a problem at all. That's the reason why we did not censor the link by The Big Yin:
