Why happen if I store pirated content inside my VPS? I think the answer is pretty obvious, in their TOS should say that if I do that they will BAN me without warning, but can they detect the files? Or worse, what if I download directly into the VPS with torrent or Jdownloader?
From what I understand (and based on USA laws) only if I torrent something they can BAN me, because I’m redistributing something with copyright in their servers, and I don’t only refer to games, this can apply to music, movies, etc.
Honestly you are right, I should think before posting things like this, may sound dramatic but I don’t want my whole Instance to be damaged by a post.
Not just your instance. Every instance Federated with it that got a copy of your post is part of the chain of evidence. Don’t plan crimes in the fediverse for heaven sakes.
IP is not shared via activitypub FYI. Only the instance owner would have that.
That being said, yes don’t plant crimes as federation makes removing your incriminating comment across instances near impossible
