The unfortunate reality is that the arbitrary "rights holders" have leveraged their held rights to gain a lot of money, unlike the maintainers of lemmy.world, which don't have a bunch of cash lying around.
In this day and age, money can create allegations to drown someone in lawyers, and just defending against such allegations, regardless of their validity, can be prohibitively expensive.
