We took this action to protect lemmy.world, lemmy.world’s users, and lemmy.world staff as the material posted in those communities could be problematic for us, because of potential legal issues around copyrighted material and services that provide access to or assitance in obtaining it
I prefer lemmy.world outlast then join the group of domains with an FBI seized page on it one day. It’s very easy to run multiple accounts, seems like many people have different users for different activity anyhow. It’s important to note it’s not uncommon for especially pirated software to contain malicious code.
Do you have an actual counter response to the facts I’ve given? My first comment covers it all pretty well. Additionally, it’s not like a single user made a recommendation and the decision was sealed.
I’m not against piracy in general, I’m not attacking these communities. My point is there are very particular precautions that are required to prevent issues running that type of content and it creates a great amount of risk to every instance that is syncing with communities like that. It by no means prevents anyone from making another account and still accessing it all but it does protect lemmy.world from getting into legal issues that could have a very significant impact for the entire instance.
It’s exactly why there are other rules that apply as well, for not only moral but legal reasons. The US and allies have quite a large reach, the copyright owners have deep pocket, and they love making special mission names targeting such communities.
imo multiple users across multiple instances for different activities is the way to go anyhow.
What the heck?
Seems like my backup account is about to be my main account after all LMAO.
For legal reasons? Isn’t lemmy.world hosted somewhere else but the USA?
This is bullshit honestly, I hope they back up from this decision… Unlike Beehaw defederating from others because of light reasons.
Not legal reasons. They explicitly said it’s to protect lemmy.world users duh. Enjoy extra protection!
Did you even read the post?
Hence the bullshit reasoning.

Being outside of the US isn’t just a magical protection, here’s the US Copyright Relations: https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38a.pdf
And it can also be hard for using a CDN, if the content goes with-in US reach that is a huge liability.
Wait, are you actually on their side for this move?
Which was a suggestion by a troll user at the end of the day?
