I have had this explained to me thus:
People with visual impairment, when consuming media, have different requirements. The idea that the audio MP3 of a movie is somehow not protected by copyright, while the entirety of the movie is, is ridiculous. Put another way, you can't strip the video out of a movie, post the MP3 and say "See? Now it's not under copyright, so it's okay".
Morally I understand the arguments about region locking, about access to description, the whole nine yards. Morally, how I'd do it is a generally "be ready to take it down if asked" stance. But that may not be wise, and it may lead to complications, so that's why we're here right now.
If there is some sort of legal exception in EU law that would allow this - demonstrably, I mean, not just conjecture or wishful thinking - and it's provided, then on this subject at least, I am willing to go a little easier. But ROMs and straight-up pirated material needs to go.
On a final note for now, it is kind of tiring to be demonized for doing the right thing. None of you regular users would have any serious problems coming your way if any sort of action were taken against the site. As users, you wouldn't necessarily be held accountable; rather, those in power (mostly Richard and Sandor, but the rest of us as well) would be the one answering for it. So I find it kind of troublesome that some of you are purporting to talk about how safe and easy and fair things are when you aren't the ones at risk.
