I know we can’t post direct link to software here but what about using base64?

      Have to say it’s the right call. It’s common enough that software (jdownloader2 comes to mind) will do the conversion automatically. it’d be super trivial for a bot crawling for DMCA links to add that functionality at some point.

      But what if another layer was added? For example base64-encoded link to a pastebin which includes the direct link.

        Seems like that’d fly.

        From the link in that comment:

        You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your content (not with a 301 redirect, before you ask) is OK. In general try to keep one degree of separation between our collective groins and your links.

        I thought db0 said b64 links were OK. It looks like that changed recently as initially there was b64 links allowed when the server was setup
