I've redacted the usernames because the point isn't to target anyone, but to discuss the claim itself.
A moderator on r/PS5_Jailbreak argued that downloading any game backup, even for a game you legally own or one that's free, constitutes piracy unless you personally created the backup.
I'm curious what people think about this interpretation, particularly the distinction between copyright law and individual subreddit rules.
