How much is a site like Reddit actually obligated to "protect copyrights" when they aren't even making a dime off it?
To me, it makes sense that you shouldn't be dropping direct links to copyrighted material, but what's the point of stifling free speech over it? Just mentioning that a specific site exists where stuff can be found isn't some crime—it's literally just free speech.
What Sarah Doyle54 is saying here is basically like saying: "Mentioning that murders happen is just as bad as committing the murder itself."
Nowadays, private individuals are way too subservient to legal technicalities regarding copyright—this is nothing more than extreme self-censorship.
