A member said they used pirated software within the chat. Not the worst thing but perhaps not great. They then mentioned not seeing any rules explicitly saying you can't link to a Torrent file or assist in piracy within the chatroom, and asked if our chat is not like IRC.
As a community do we want such conversations to be allowed in the chat?
Assisting piracy is explicitly forbidden. From the Stack Exchange Terms of Service:
4. Restrictions
Use of the Network or Services to violate the security of any computer network, crack passwords or security encryption codes, transfer or store illegal material including that are deemed threatening or obscene, or engage in any kind of illegal activity is expressly prohibited.
Linking to a website intended for unauthorized distribution of something is not okay. Admitting you use pirated software isn't breaking any rules, but it's not something I would encourage.
