I do wonder how Lemmy would be impacted by an influx of DMCA complaints. Instances would have to delete the content but I don't think they have the manpower to do so.
Instances like dbzer0 could also get taken down by complaining to the VPS provider if the instance operators wouldn't comply.
Our provider doesn't care for dmcas
db0 addressed this recently. The fun thing about the fediverse is that content is cached on all the different servers. In the case of ActivityPub it's potentially thousands, and not even clear which ones it is or how many. So the complainant would have to go and order DMCA takedowns for each individual server. So the db0 server could be shut down completely but all of its' content would still be readily accessible.
Not sure of the legality of "making an example" of a specific server like db0. I think they probably have to make a DMCA request and then prove that you failed to comply but I'm not a lawyer.
We're not American, and as far as I know luxembourg doesn't have dmca laws. But we anyway don't allow direct linking to pirated content. Only discussion of said content and linking to tlds
What about your DNS provider?
Typically it takes a lot more for dns to be lost. Let's hope it never comes to that, especially since we don't actually allow links to pirate content
We are legally allowed to share links to pirated content, even in the US.
Maybe but they're always making up new things to sue people for and have their content removed.
Complaints are just complaints.
You're allowed to link to and discuss pirated content as much as you want. You can give all the guides and information in the world on how to pirate and how to do it safely.
Corporate scum know random people will get scared from seeing official letters, so they use it as an intimidation tactic to get what they want. That's what should really be illegal, but we live in a backwards society that loves abuse for some stupid reasons.
