Trouble with Law (lemmy.world)

Okay, let's go: I got a blog that archives stuff related to an anime/franchise. And I usually archive the stuff on a MEGA folder. Do any of these on a MEGA folder will get me on trouble with law?:

1- The anime's episodes (they're a lost media on the dub I archive em); 2- The mangas/books translated by me; 3- The game's ads;

I used to put game ROMs on it, but after a old post on the Emulation community, I started to only send in the Archive.org links.

You can upload content to Archive.org yourself rather than mega and get an extra layer of defense against legal trouble, as you wouldn't be directly responsible for hosting the content. They would take the uploaded item down if they got a DMCA, but mega is more likely to take down the whole folder.

Would also keep the content more accessible long term. Tons of dead mega links all over the internet.

I don't think an unnoficial translation of a book fits on archive.org
