Question to moderator

Hi, I am fairly new to this forum, & posted a question a couple of days ago. I couldn't find it today, but eventually found a message saying it had been removed because you don't allow discussion of illegal downloads. I was not aware that the site I used, i.e. DELETED was downloading illegal movies. I was told by the person who showed me the site that they were legal as you pay to download them. Is this not the case?
If it is a legal site, can my question be reposted?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Re: Question to moderator

Having seen the site. The site shows illegal downloads on the first page due to advertising films only just been at the cinema !

You would be paying for pirate downloads.

Re: Question to moderator

As my informed friend above said, I deleted your thread as that site is for illegal downloads, the fact that you pay for them is not the point unfortunately.

Re: Question to moderator

Point taken. I guess I took the things I was told on face value without looking closely enough myself.
I had not realised DELETED was selling illegal downloads.
Apologies for my original post and I fully support your action of removing my post.

I asked the question naively, not maliciously.

Sorry!
