The largest piracy community is hosted over at [email protected]
lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked [email protected].
If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).
edit:
An official announcement has been made:
I think people forget that decentralized doesn't mean anonymous, and it also doesn't mean that server admins and servers aren't beholden to local laws
yeah, a decentralized link aggregator just works!
If you are hosting a discussion forum on a server that you are responsible for, does that automatically make you responsible for the content that people post on it? Even an instance the size of dbzer0 is impossible for a single person to moderate all of the content from the many communities that are federated with it. Impossible.
That's like saying the admin of lemmy.world holds all of the wild political opinions that are posted on there.
When feds come a knockin'? Fuck yeah it does mean you're responsible for them, yeah man. Lmao. We just had our server admin purge some pervert agenda pusher. Because first off thats fucked up and next it could have the server seized.
Some dusty law enforcement won't care if its just one bad apple. Especially if they get whiff that its a "community".
It doesn't make a great deal of sense to me tbh. If you are harboring communities of sexual abusers or something, sure.
Here's another example: I have some pretty fucked up fiction books in my house. Am I responsible for what the author says? It's the same damn thing. Words written by a person who is not me, that are in my house.
When it comes to the legality of most things hosted on websites, that is how it works. The legality of piracy is different, for no reason.
Too many people in this thread are basically saying "discussing/assisting with piracy is illegal, move on" while having no opinion whatsoever on whether or not that is a just law. They just base their morality on what is legal and I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY WHY THAT CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.
It doesn't matter if the law is just or not - what matters is the legal risk to the lemmy.world admins and whether or not they are willing to take it.
I disagree that it doesn't matter, even if it is less relevant to lemmy.world's course of action.
many people in this thread are making moral arguments against piracy, and most of the people doing so are just appealing to the authority of the law.
but if you really want to have a discussion about the risk to lemmy.world, there wasn't any yet. the piracy community also disallowed sharing direct links to files, and even in the event that lemmy.world had received a DMCA, that would have been the moment to do something about it, they aren't liable for just hosting content unless they ignore one of those. acting like they are going to get singled out and have the servers shut down and raided because they might have a cache of some person's comments from a different website where someone might have posted direct links to illegal files is a massive overreaction. This whole thing was set off by a troll that was mad that they got banned from https://lemmy.dbzer0.com for being transphobic and tried to tattle on the group like a toddler, not because of any implication that the risks were about to change.
not that anyone but the admin's opinions matter in this case, it is their server. they could do anything at all and it wouldn't matter to me regardless of it's legality or risk. Doesn't change that I'm not fan of large corporations or the people that bend over backwards for them, out of fear or any reason.
People are fucked.
