yea I get being nervous about that. but i think it's fine. discussing piracy is not itself piracy. and the form we're talking about here: taking a (maybe) public document and removing metadata from it for alternate storage... that's a pretty toothless form of piracy. no different than printing a web page
sure that might still violate some publisher's TOS but again, discussing speculative TOSes and their bending is safe.
either way, let the record show I brought it up this time, I made the connection (in this thread) to Alexandria, and I insisted it was okay to talk about. not trying to force your npub into opining on it 👍
