Don't post anything that would get saidit in trouble with any legal agencies. That's basically the only rule. You're not allowed to take down saidit by posting illegal stuff.

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know exactly where that line is, but I trust the users and mods here to take that seriously or else the sub won't last

If this site is vulnerable to DMCA's then either this sub or the site won't last. Either saiddit bans this sub for the same reason reddit banned r/piracy or the site is taken down. Do you remember the KAT forums where you could ask for something and someone would find it or upload it for you? That's what this should be and what it seems like it can't be. Without link sharing this is a dumb and doomed half measure. I wish I had a good alternative but I don't, so if anyone knows where you can share and upload freely please let me know.

Of course we're vulnerable to DMCA's, how could we not be?

You could be a torrent site not hosted in the US. Like 1337x or Ruttracker or The Pirate Bay. Only a site like that will be able to give r/piracy users what they actually want. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a site like that in English that allows people to request content and posts clean files. Nothing has been as good KAT was.

We are working on a decentralized solution, but it might be a couple years because it's very complex.

Even if the servers are abroad, both the admins are in the US...

Not being hosted in the US isn't some magical legal shield that'll keep the lawyers at bay. If this site were to do as you suggest, it would jeopardize not only this piracy subreddit (or what they are called here), but also every other subreddit on this site.

Torrent sites all shut down at some point when the legal pressure becomes too much, it's only a question of when.

TPB still exists. Even though it's gone downhill. I get it if the site doesn't want the problem. Honestly even a bit more freedom then Reddit is welcome.

Pirate Bay is a... special creature. Pirate Bay is shut down. So is Pirate Bay. And Pirate Bay. And Pirate Bay. What I'm saying is, that for some reason, pirates have flocked to the name, so whenever Pirate Bay gets shut down, new pirates make a site with the exact same name. Pirate Bay doesn't still exist, it has died many times. It's a lot like a phoenix actually, continually rising from the ashes.
