Files can be removed by the original poster, and updates can be added. Linking to the thread/page allows this information to be visible. Additionally, legal notices can be displayed by that site, as well. | |

Like with torrent sites, and even torrent aggregators that only link to other sites, hosting/direct linking can attract the ire of copyright holders ... and precendent does not favor the torrent sites. | |

Some (perhaps most) cases are pretty clear-cut. But what about applications that are free, but no longer distributed by the developer? Is that piracy? Linking to a page with other links tables the need for our concern. | |
