Should the link be included?
I read in the linking policy WP:ELNEVER

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

That reads to me that the link to Pirate Bay should not be included. --- Karel Bílek (talk). 08:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * 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.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * yeah a good point. - Karel Bílek (talk). 09:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * But then it is Knowingly directing others to material that violates copyright might be considered contributory copyright infringement for both them and us. O3000, Ret. (talk) 11:07, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
