First of all, this is the rules of the instance as the legal liability falls on the admins of the instance.
Second of all, if you want to challenge Hasbro's ownership of Dungeons and Dragons, have at it, and I will see you in the headlines when they win.
Third of all, No where did I say OC, Homebrew, or anything of the like were disallowed. We are strictly discussing the act of downloading and sharing content that is OWNED and FOR SALE by DnD and other related companies. In this exact same context it equally disallowed for you to say, post paid for files of someone else's homebrew purchased of of DMs Guild or another platform. They made those things with THEIR own time and energy too and deserve payment for it.
Please do NOT come into this community, on this instance, and accuse US of being corporate shills for a corporation such as Hasbro/WoTC.
I and others have spent hours on this community linking, discussing, and sharing hundreds of posts to dozens of sites, spreading the joy and love of this community and the game we love to play. Exactly ONE single post of mine has ever been directly to WoTC, and it was an announcement page for the newest book.
I implore you spin up your own instance, put in your own work, and spend your own time if you want to share pirated materials. But it will not be done here and that is final. As a user registered to infosec.pub, you should probably be aware that their server is hosted in Germany and that YOU are also bound by these laws thusly.
You can try the other instances if you want. That's the good part about decentralization. It splits the communities, which sucks, but they may also have different rules and stuff, which is good.
For example, there's ttrpg.network or pathfinder.social.
Well there's other instances with DnD communities where that might be allowed (no idea). That's the good thing about federalization. Yes, it sucks to split uo communities, but you can just subscribe to all of them where different rules and stuff may form. And if they don't allow piracy, someone can always spin up another instance in a country where it is allowed.
For example, two other related instances I can think go right now (which may have similar rules. I don't know where they're based) are ttrpg.network and pathfinder.social.
