View submission: Let's talk content. AMA.
But reddit isn't hosting that, so it shouldn't count. Honestly I don't know why he included copyrighted material.

Based on that, nothing really should be banned. What does reddit host other than text?

Doesn't reddit host thumbnails, though?

Imgur hosts it. That was the problem with the fappening, wasn't it?

He was pretty clear about the lens through which all decisions are made: discussion. Not the peculiarities of web technology. In the cases where the discussion is illegal, "here, take this data that I do not own or have permission to give you", it will not be allowed here. The mechanisms and machinery of technology do not matter.

He included copyright material because if they dont and aren't seen to be combatting it then they can kiss goodbye to ever getting a celebrity AMA from a movie/tv/music star again.

the piratebay doesn't host copyrighted material. It is basically listing with comments, that points somewhere...

I would imagine it's more for subreddits that are dedicated to linking to torrent sites and stuff like that.

Exactly. You get into semantics such as is hosting the illegal part or is sending people to it?

The DMCA requires them to address it in a very prescribed way.

Because he wants music companies and Hollywood to advertise.
