::: spoiler Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.
>Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification [see this post](https://lemmy.ml/post/3625035)
