Right on the main sidebar of the site it says:

We do not respect DMCA, complaints related to such matters are thrown directly in the trash, by us and our hosts.

While I think that’s awesome, before I post something that might have copyrighted content, the sidebar lists the first rule of the site as:

No illegal content under Netherlands law

While I’m not a citizen of the Netherlands, I’m pretty sure that distributing copyrighted material is illegal under NL law.

So I did a little research… And, while I dont speak Dutch, I tried using Google Translate and I’m very sure that the distribution of copyrighted material is illegal in the Netherlands.

There might be legal grey areas or caveats I don’t understand. That’s why I’m making this post. What’s the official stance of Burggit on posting copyrighted material?
