Why are most messageboard websites so anal about posting links to .torrents sites?
This overparanoia, is it based on an actual thread from the big controlling companies shutting people down who do allow links?
It's just links to websites that probably aren't illegal in todays laws (in most countries anyways), torrents aren't illegal if you own the materials copyright etc
bleh I just got banned.

yes. the act of downloading itself, is legal. whatever is being downloaded.
technically it should be impossible to find anything copyrighted to download, seeing as it's illegal to upload anything copyrighted.
it's funny, a Dutch copyright organisation is freaking out over this (or at least was a little while back) - the Dutch government pretty much tells them "ooh boo hoo, we can't be bothered doing something about it, the people you represent (film moguls) should do something about it through technological means".
