Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world

What an absolutely cowardly move. It’s one thing to not allow piracy on your own server, that’s you’re right, but to prevent your users from accessing communities on other servers? Way to give in to copyright trolls without even being asked. I would understand even if they received some kind of Cease and Desist. It doesn’t seem like it, it seems like they’re just willing sycophants who will probably federate with Meta at first opportunity.

The problem with how this system works is that you have to accept all content on your servers that you federate with. Even linking can violate DMCA.

that may technically be true, but I think people should be more willing to take a stand, and not just pre-emptively bow down to the copyright trolls, because it’s basically legally unenforceable especially the larger this the federation gets
I’ll give them credit that they didn’t defed the entire instance and I guess it’s their server their rules
