I can understand the confusion TCS. I would have garnered the same opinion.
However reading the whole thread, I can tell what was being squelched.
The fine line between discussing piracy and being part of the piracy problem is simple, if you know how to do something illegal or are doing something illegal, don't share your bad choice in an open forum, but if you have an opinion on it, then by all means share it. That way, no one gets in trouble, including the poster.
It would have turned into a henley's helpful piracy hints thread.
OR worse, a flame war against the poor original poster.
Makes sense why the thread was closed.
