The article appears to be out of date. Someone should update the article to reflect the current situation. 2404:C806:1564:BD00:D38E:8D1A:54AA:AC3E (talk) 06:03, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
External links to websites that display copyrighted works are acceptable as long as the website is manifestly run, maintained or owned by the copyright owner; the owner has licensed the content in a way that allows the website to use it; or the website uses the work in a way compliant with fair use. Knowingly directing others to material that violates copyright might be considered contributory copyright infringement. If there is reason to believe that a website has a copy of a work in violation of its copyright, do not link to it. Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work casts a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors

The standard response of TPB would be that the site does not contain any copyrighted material. Unless you installed BitTorrent software and downloaded copyrighted files, nothing illegal would happen.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 09:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
yeah a good point. - Karel Bílek (talk). 09:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
