I have not threatened anyone. I have however bought to light the criminal and civil liability that exists from ignoring transactions of illegal sales, which so far appears to be what the staff here is advocating for.

You aren't a lawyer, so what may seems illegal to you may not to me. Like the threatening part, especially when you promote illegal websites.

I am not promoting any websites. I have however commented on several, none of which I am affiliated with. I also find it interesting that you seem to believe that these websites are illegal (most are not), yet you somehow take no issue with sales of credentials or access codes, which are illegal (yes if they were procured or distributed in an unauthorized manner it does fall under access fraud, misuse of access, computer fraud, illegal access, and/or theft of service).

Actually prosecutions of computer fraud, access fraud, and theft of service does routinely hold up in court. Unauthorized distribution or sales of access codes do result in jail time. I already posted proof the previous thread and you'll find that most first world nations and even third world nations contain laws covering this activity. Invites are access codes which if shared in an unauthorized manner are considered illegal access. It's no different then providing login credentials. If you want to believe something else, you're free to do so, but laws in most nations state otherwise.

I already said once:

Prove me dishonesty. So far you have failed to do so.
Prove me that the website was hacked.

Now the additional factor. All these nzbs websites are illegal in nature. ToS of an illegal website is worthless.

The door is that way ===================>

I have nothing to prove.I have however pointed out the distribution and or sales of credentials and access codes which have not been explicitly authorized by a site owner or institution that they belong to is in fact illegal and can be prosecuted. Sellers and facilitators can face criminal and civil liability. Again, I'm sorry if you and some others can't accept that, but that is the way that most legal systems operate. Theft of service is recognized by most first world and third world nations.

Regarding your other statement. I think you do some research you will find that most NZB websites are legal in many nations depending on where they are hosted, they operate under safe harbor, and reference posts made to newsgroups. The sites themselves can not host any infringing material and if they do receive a complaint and fail to act, they can be shutdown or face criminal and civil liability.

If you wish to engage in civil discussion, I'm fair game, but if your only intent is trying to silence me and make demands that I leave, you'll be ignored. I might ask how exactly are you improving discussion in this thread? You aren't addressing the topic of the forum policy, nor are you moving this discussion forward.
