Sorry my stupid post, but if it is illegal to publish a .ISO file with Windows then why? The .ISO itself does not contain any illegal activation method or private activation keys.
Who told you that? Original Microsoft ISOs can be published and posted fine. MDL just forbids Homebrew images (ones that have been altered in any way), but not because they could be illegal, but because they aren't verifiable. We just cannot know what has been altered in Homebrew images, there might be unpleasant surprises in some.
You must be very young if you don't know that Microsoft has never allowed their products to be hosted or shared on any other server, only their own official server.
Nothing depends on me here, I haven't come up with these rules, these are Microsoft rules. So, You're asking from the wrong place.
Mainly it depends on where the links are shared, most of my uploads here weren't deleted before some copied the links and published them on warez sites and then the s**t hit the fan, last few years nothing got deleted anymore (fingers crossed)
Yes, I will blacklist you, and it is no wonder that you and your files will be deleted everywhere if you have such habits and behaviors. Good luck.
Maybe read the initial post that possibly triggered the reply, and next read all the posts of that person forum wide
Removing files from a public file hoster is usually due to DMCA takedowns/ copyright infringement. The files themselves are not illegal, they just belong to someone else.
I don't think they'll research each case, just using hash scanning / pattern matching and requesting takedown. That's why many warez releases are usually double-encapsulated and password protected, to escape detection.
Youre right but they stated which file was against TOS after 2 months of emailing and requesting what was going on in this case a *.exe file
