R/piracy Megathread: ((top)) May 2026

Every single day, I see the same posts: "Where do I download X?" "Is this site safe?" "What VPN should I use?" "How do I stay safe?"

PSA: If you're new here or feel lost, just read the r/piracy megathread. Seriously. r/piracy megathread:

Can we pin this energy? 🏴‍☠️

Don't post direct links to copyrighted content in the sub. But the megathread? That's the map. Use it wisely. Every single day, I see the same posts:

European Union

DisCo is dedicated to examining technology and policy at a global scale.  Developments in the European Union play a considerable role in shaping both European and global technology markets.  EU regulations related to copyright, competition, privacy, innovation, and trade all affect the international development of technology and tech markets.

Intellectual Property

The Internet enables the free exchange of ideas and content that, in turn, promote creativity, commerce, and innovation. However, a balanced approach to copyright, trademarks, and patents is critical to this creative and entrepreneurial spirit the Internet has fostered. Consequently, it is our belief that the intellectual property system should encourage innovation, while not impeding new business models and open-source developments.
