I don't think I've ever known a message board to give a shit unless asked by the IP owner to take it down.

Except when it was some cracked software, or possibly a movie or music or something.

Yeah, but most message boards don't occasionally weaponize themselves. We need to maintain plausible deniability.

I hear ya. I was just curious.

It's just not something I see a lot of, particularly here.

So if I understand correctly, all it needed was a link and the post would have been good to go?

A link and at least a nod to "fair use".  Posting the piece in its entirety is still generally not a good idea.
