Noone in US or EU would care about expiration of Zelensky’s presidential term as long as he’s reliable supplier of cannon fodder for proxy NATO-Russia war. Roosevelt’s words on Somoza ("he may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch’) would apply here as well.

Yes, Ukrainian soldiers on front line are worried about cancer and birth defects. They are rational human beings who hope to return to their homes and live long lives and grow healthy children, not some subhumans with only intent to kill, kill, kill, as you wish to think.

The whole point of “ethical” piracy is ridiculous. It’s old good corporate anti-piracy propaganda but rechewed with some progressive takes. “You wouldn’t download an indie car”, literally. If you need some justifications and excuses for piracy, than just don’t pirate at all. The fact that i’m downloading some game from torrent because i’ve broken purchased DVD with it never makes me more ethical in any way than some other leecher on the same torrent who’s never going to pay for it.

Promotion of new public pirate resourses always depends on catching traffic from search engines and never on reddit posts. This actually means that promotion of public tracker is by far easier than promoting a gatewalled one. Also this means that active public tracker would have constant influx of new users who don’t know about rutracker, 1337x and so on.

By the way, promoting useful public pirate resourses is always a good thing, so there is no point in treating complaints about this with understanding or respect.

The main thing with free sports streaming is that they are not maintained by pirate enthusiasts. It’s sponsored by non licensed betting operators which can’t make legal advertizing. This exactly means that any kind of banning of websites or pirate broadcasts would have no effect; siteops would add new unbanned domain to existing infrastructure and would continue their operation. You should say thanks to addictive gamblers for your free sports streaming!

“Looting toilets” is the funniest part. Do you really believe that Ukraine is such pauper country that invading soldiers couldn’t loot anything more valuable than used toilets from occupied cities? It’s required to have literally zero critical thinking in order not to understand that this is propagandistic bullshit.

Immoral piracy is the killing of the crew during the hijacking of a ship. There is no moral dilemma in downloading anything.

Sorry to say, but if that’s your business proposal, then you’re getting your MBA courses wrong 😫 not due to your proposal being clearly illegal, but because it has no monetization (and actually it’s not business proposal per se, but charity proposal).

And regarding your question, while copyright infrigement is illegal worldwide, there’s already a working solution which is used by major pirate resourses. And this solution is hosting copyrighed material on servers which are located on jurisdictions which are hostile towards countries where content owners and you personally live. This means if you need to host popular US/EU content, here’s ISPs from China, Russia, Iran, Belarus and so on for your help. For sure, none of them would anyhow care of your privacy, freedom of speech and so on, but what’s more important, none of them would also care about any EU/US issued copyright infrigement complaint about your server if it’s not backed by local authorities. Needless to say, both your server and ISP HQ should both be placed in such country (server in Moscow won’t save you from anything if you rent it from firm with main office in London).
