5.0.4: Do not post illegal content of any type. Do not engage in any activity that may encourage, facilitate or provide access to illegal transactions. Do not share or encourage the sharing of abusive or sexually suggestive content involving minors. Any violent or otherwise inappropriate behavior involving a minor will also always be strictly prohibited.

5.0.4 seems to be in conflict with the existence of !piracy. I'm not complaining about its existence, just mentioning that it seems to be a conflict.

I'd argue "transaction" implies an exchange... If you pirate content you either are giving something freely, and receiving nothing, or are receiving something while giving nothing.

If you're not a leeching piece of shit (like I am) then technically torrenting IS a transaction

like I am

Machine... I will cut you down, break you apart, splay the gore of your profane form across the STARS! I will grind you down until the very SPARKS CRY FOR MERCY! My hands shall RELISH ENDING YOU... HERE! AND! NOW!

It was hard to decide whether to post this copy-pasta or just 'you fuck'

This whole comment is /j, I don't care that much

Heh, wait until you remember that if you block outcoming traffic it will be hard to download something at a decent speed (unless there are a lot of peers)
