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.

Why Reddit is taking down /r/piracy is still up in the air, so if the real reason is DMCA's can't be said.

However, why can't you just use this place the same way you've used the piracy subreddit? You've been getting by not sharing links there for a while.

I never used the piracy subreddit although I was subscribed because like I said it seemed like a such a silly half measure. I guess there's an audience here that I just don't understand. I miss being part of a community that would upload things when you asked sometime or specifically find rare stuff for you. And I miss giving back to that community in the form of uploads and finding stuff.

Yeah I'd like to get links too because I would extensively search for things before I asked or couldn't find what I wanted it would be nice for someone to be able to give me a link. I think a lot of people are too lazy to do that they just want a link immediately and not really willing to learn things. If reddit goes down I'll still be able to get stuff from multiple sources I never rely on one place for all my information. If you read the posts on reddit you could find out where certain things moved to but there was no link or anything just a name and you had to figure it out. I don't see where it was breaking any copyright rules it's just a target because of it's name and popularity if it was alt.kittens or something it wouldn't be so obvious at least.
