Hi, I'm thinking about writing a media piracy tutorial for absolute beginners (think my mother - people who can use browsers and office but that's about it).

Does anybody know what's the legislation for that? I'm in the Czech Republic (EU), and the site is hosted on Codeberg pages (Germany). Nameservers for my domain are managed by CloudFlare (USA). So I'm curious about both EU and US laws.

If it's illegal, can I make it legal by not including any direct links, or stating some "educational purposes only" bullshit?

I feel like the internet is full of that stuff and even GitHub READMEs usually get away with "we don't condone piracy", but I also vaguely remember some lawsuit against redditors discussing piracy?

Thanks for advice.

Thanks. I'm aware of the theoretical risks and how bad cloudflare is for the internet as a whole. Sadly, I use Cloudflare tunnels for a different subdomain. While I would like to move to some alternative in the long term, it just works™ right now and I don't really have the energy to touch it.
