actually, MR is hosted in Canada, where copyright is death+50. 1984 is therefore legal there, since Orwell died in 1950. Please verify such things by doing a minimum of checking, before making such accusations. MR goes to great pains to remain a legitimate site and regularly reiterates this policy in the forums.
