    I would like to post the embed code to this video:
    [Link to pirated media removed by moderator.]

    Its “into the wild”. Definitely a copyright violation but am I in trouble if I post the embed code (or even just the link)? Will wordpress shut me down? or just warn me first? or since Im not hosting the video is it all good?

    Thanks!

    🙂

    (P.S. im not looking for a lecture on “stealing”!! Just the wordpress rules on “stealing”!!) 😀
