Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.

you're on a piracy community but you're licensing your comments?

if you don't respect other's licences, why should they respect yours?

On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I'm caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it's written off a business expense.

Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?

None of those examples have any relation to the ignorance of these licensing links.

What "ignorance"? The licensing link is added manually. I've read it.
