“Excessive and overzealous on the copyright enforcement on their TOS.”

Adam y.
5/6/19

This company, much like: -When reddit deleting forms labeled "piracy" when the vast majority is talking ABOUT piracy (which that alone is legal) on the subreddit. -When Google banning the term "kodi" on their search query under the excuse it is associated with piracy, despite that tool being completely legal. There are reasons why going beyond what is legally required is a bad idea, voluntarily enforcements against legal things is a terrible measure. "Oh just in case we get yelled at by copyright holders", nope, just nope. This company is too afraid to step ANYWHERE closer to the boundaries of the law and resort to banning users who even submits an open source software that aids torrent download (its legal if you download public domain works or works that aren't under copyright). This behavior is what happened to Bram Cohen on Libtorrent: https://torrentfreak.com/hosting-company-suspends-account-over-open-source-bittorrent-software-190504/. Its better to go to a hosting site that does not enforce its own rules more than legally-required as a "preventive measure" to avoid legal trouble. Just stay away from this site, with the voluntary enforcements like this, I can imagine if they are too open to attack stuff and users in the name of "more-than-legally-required copyright enforcement".
