Wow, a lot of angry people in the thread.
I unironically support your decision admins. Piracy is illegal and therefore unethical. There is nothing wrong with blocking piracy communities and people don't understand the legal ramifications of allowing illegal piracy communities.
Wish you luck, chadmins! ๐
Abolitionism was also illegal at one point, guess that's also unethical. Laws and ethics do not inherently coincide. Ethical piracy can and does exist, but not all piracy is ethical.
Are you really comparing slavery to piracy? What does that have to do with piracy?
Of course there are a few exceptions, but usually laws = ethics. Piracy isn't one of the exceptions.
In other words, โlaws = ethics when it suits my argumentโ.
What about prohibition?
Anti-abortion laws?
Laws against trans people?
