Releasing a cracked version of an application is not covered under that exemption. I'm honestly flabbergasted to hear you suggest it might be.

There is literally a link titled "ISO Download" at the top of the web site.

Claiming that "oh, that web site isn't actually offering the download, it's actually a torrent file hosted on a Telegram channel" is not the defense you think it is.

You literally can’t download any content from that site: neither ISOs nor torrents. You’re reaching.

> Your legal argument is clearly false, or else torrent sites themselves wouldn’t exist. The Pirate Bay is legal!

Yes, so legal that Gottfrid, Fredrik and three more guys who founded the site got a fine of roughly 3 million USD and one year in jail for helping people commit copyright infringement. So very legal. Wtf dude?

If you think the existence of a site is proof of legality then I don't know what to tell you. Do you believe child porn is legal as well because such sites exists?

As for personal attacks, I'm sorry but this is not a debate. I'm sharing facts with you and you're sharing your ignorance.
