To keep it simple, in this case 'illegal' means 'not allowed on this forum'.

To keep it even more simple: Addons that facilitate accessing to copyright content are not allowed on this forum Smile

Under that definition, the YouTube add-on is on the banned list.

Just to point to the very grey area of what is allowed and not Smile

Not really. Just that your proposed simpler definition is wrong.

Since when did pirates started using Youtube to host pirated movies ... just did a search on "The Martian" and nothing relating to a full movie on youtube came up. Just trailers, reviews etc. Sure , one can "theoretically" upload a pirated movie on YT , good luck not having your video taken down via a DMCA complaint 3 hours later.

The difference is, when a copyright holder put stuff on youtube, they expect and give permission for it to be viewed via whatever methods youtube make available, including youtube's API. They are still copyright, but with licensing allowing them to be viewed online.

Studios however do not put out BluRAYs with permission to rip them and make them available online.

It's easy to watch pirated movies or any other pirated content on Youtube, it's not rocket science to find them and play it Wink

Time to close this thread again as this topic had been discussed to death previously.

Frankly, I think you are simply wrong about this. I know people love saying it, and it might be true for content that's old or already available for free elsewhere or people don't particularly care about, but I'd love to see pirated youtube links to full movies of all the current academy award best movie nominees that last more than 15 minutes on Youtube. I don't believe it's possible.

Yes, there is a grey area. However, advocating piracy through YouTube is not the way forward and breaks forum rules. Please refrain from doing so.

Policy is not going to change, repeatability complaining about it on here makes no difference.
