How are group buys legal? Can somebody explain to me how a group buy is different than piracy?

This isnt a moral question, I just dont understand the distinction here.

Scenario 1: A group of 5 people all put $100 in the hat for a $500 course/software. One of the 5 guys takes everyones $100, buys the product, and then shares it with all 5 people. This is a group buy. It is apparently legal, but generally against TOS.

Scenario 2: One guy puts forth his own $500 to buy the same course/software. He uploads it to a warez site and shares it with a bunch of people. This is piracy and it is illegal.

Its the exact same thing. One guy is legally buying a single unit of product and sharing it with multiple people. What is it that allows group buys to legally exist?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
