Umm, I’m assuming you’re not aware that it isn’t illegal to host container images for pirating software, or Even to have it actively running. What’s illegal is obtaining copyrighted content.

Discussing it or showing others how to pirate is also illegal at least in the US.
The DMCA is complicated

Showing who how to pirate? I only download legal open source applications with my torrents.

Discussing piracy is most definitely not illegal in the US. It’s protected by the first amendment, and there aren’t laws that even try to restrict it.
The only part of the DMCA that really has any complexity it’s is the anti-circumvention bit, and that has no relevance anywhere to discussing piracy or tools that can be used for piracy.
