Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days (lemmy.world)

For too long imo, piracy had become a "grab it all" environment. The old "Caring is Sharing" mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

This is because many countries only have laws that prevent providing pirated content and not downloading it. This means downloading content is almost never illegal, but providing it(seeding) is.

Yeah pretty much where I’m at. I have to be careful not to seed basically at all, otherwise I’ll get angry letters from my ISP. Kinda sucks, and most if not all VPN services charge money to be able to use torrenting over them. But maybe someday I’ll work out a system.
