This kinda trouble is exactly why DMCA needs a process to punish false claims. Asking if a certain streaming site is down (no links) is copyright infringement? The title of a release is copyright infringement? Why is this okay (and more importantly for Reddit: why isn't Reddit Legal doing their jobs and actually responding to these bizarre claims)?

From r/Piracy's sidebar:
> 1. Submissions must be related to the discussion of digital piracy.
> 2. Spam, trading, selling, and blatant self-promotion posts are forbidden.
> 3. Do not request or link to pirated/copyrighted content.
The point of the subreddit is to discuss news or tools about piracy, not to actually do it; the subreddit is actively moderated and any infringement is deleted/punished. That said, admins have apparently detected many infringements but have not backed them up with actual post links or information
They have banned Soccer Streams and related streaming subs already.
Thankfully the Legal Support has replied to the infringement complaints to Mods.
PS: Not supporting Piracy or streaming in any way or form.
