Is it legal to write a piracy tutorial? (lemmy.cafe)

Hi, I'm thinking about writing a media piracy tutorial for absolute beginners (think my mother - people who can use browsers and office but that's about it).

Does anybody know what's the legislation for that? I'm in the Czech Republic (EU), and the site is hosted on Codeberg pages (Germany). Nameservers for my domain are managed by CloudFlare (USA). So I'm curious about both EU and US laws.

If it's illegal, can I make it legal by not including any direct links, or stating some "educational purposes only" bullshit?

I feel like the internet is full of that stuff and even GitHub READMEs usually get away with "we don't condone piracy", but I also vaguely remember some lawsuit against redditors discussing piracy?

Thanks for advice.

I think it might help many people and I can just state that I'm not providing any support. I don't have comments on my website yet, and they will be via Mastodon anyways, where most people already know this stuff. If somebody does the work to find my email, I can just ignore them ¯\(ツ)/¯

    I also taught my closest family members to pirate movies and shows and it has had the exact opposite effect - no more calls to help them download a movie they want to watch on a flight tomorrow :)

    This is off topic and I hope that you take it in the spirit offered. I can never decide if it's rude or helpful but the intent is to be helpful.

    Teach is one of a handful of words in English that doesn't follow the normal rules for it's past tense form. The past tense for teach is taught. I honestly can't tell you how to identify which words use a different form for their past tense. I think it's just something that you learn through experience.
