Feel like you have something to post, but it's not really relevant to any of the current communities, and you don't feel like it's worth making an entirely new community just to post it? This is the place for that.

NSFW content is allowed in this community so long as you mark it as per site rules.

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?
