Anyone can host git is the point, you dont have to use GitHub. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] filcuk@feddit.uk 1 point 2 months ago (3 children) Have you seen what happens to ANY website hosting pirated Nintendo content? How many of them are still online? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] warm@kbin.earth 1 point 2 months ago (2 children) Lots are.

Thus my point - hosting their pirated content on any site that wishes to operate or be accessed from US, EU or the UK would be committing a suicide by defending, or even not taking action on their dmca requests. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] warm@kbin.earth 1 point 2 months ago* But it exists, many sites!
