Avast Web Shield unusable on video sharing sites

[DavidR]

Pirated content could bring more than just a video.

Posting a link to a topic from 2013 isn't great.  In this topic there are also some that tried to investigate this and found no problem viewing the content.

All you say at this post and others at this thread about piracy or serve content that otherwise should be paid, talk than avast besides an AV also wotk as police and moralist

That isn't what I'm saying, avast isn't blocking content because it thinks it is piracy, but because Avast has the site is on its URL:Blacklist.
Why would have to be taken up with them

I try my best to avoid piracy video sites because it may contain malware. But because Avast blocked so many video sites, I thought Avast is also an anti-piracy tool. Thanks, DavidR, for the clarification.
