Code of Conduct Clarification/Change Request

A listing I made recently was just taken down because I made the mistake of misinterpreting this section of the Code of Conduct: No Piracy Allowed We will not allow the encouragement or distribution of pirated works. This is not meant to target the showing of interfaces or fan work accomplishments -- only actions that undermine the rights and property of others. Specifically, I thought "distribution of pirated works" meant obvious offers to distribute illegally obtained pdfs (through torrenting or downloading from filesharing sites) when in fact it also includes offers to share legally obtained and purchased pdfs with a GM specifically for the purposes of GMing a game that one wishes to play in. I'm not looking to debate the stance roll20 has taken on this - I understand it now, thanks to a helpful moderator explanation :) However, in the interests of others not being as dumb as me and making that mistake, I'd like to propose that roll20's definition of "pirated works" be included in the Code of Conduct.
I'm not familiar with what you shared, but I'm fairly confident there's no need for an expansion of the definition-- anything that someone does not have the right to distribute, they are pirating.
