I would think this is actually a Terms of Service issue - don't post illegal stuff. Which that link clearly is.

On Wed Jan 28, 2015, 12:32 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

watch it online
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6146068

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This post links to a file-sharing website that is illegally streaming this and other movies. Despite it's ULR being an Icelandic domain, watching copyright-protected movies like this one is illegal in the United States. It's theft of intellectual property. DU should not be linking to sites that stream current movies illegally. Please hide this.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jan 28, 2015, 12:39 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Thanks to the alerter for the heads-up.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Alerter is 100% spot on.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Making sure to alert someone who may not know this site is doing a naughty is fine; 99% of all DU'ers would remover or correct the post immediately. It's not hurtful, destructive, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, and was immediately spotted as inappropriate. Leave it alone; we're all adults here.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I just don't care about things like illegal streaming. Perhaps I should, but I don't.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a great area IMHO. Links are put up here all the time to watch MSNBC or other news sites .

While it is clearly a link to a file sharing site I am going to vote leave it because no one blinks twice when links to news feeds are posted ,I don't see the distinction

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
