  • If someone going to get sued for it. It will be dbzer0.com and lemmy.ml due to said communities being part of the instances not LW.

    Don’t instances cache the content from federated instances? I can still view content from vlemmy.net from other instances, even though it’s been permanently shut down.

    From the OP:

    Doesn’t matter if they are hosted here or not. The way federation works is that threads on different instances are cached locally.

    We have NO issues with the people at db0 - we are just looking out for ourselves in a ‘better safe than sorry’ fashion while we find out more. As mentioned in the OP we would like to unblock as soon as we know we can not get in any legal trouble.

    Reddit has gotten into legal trouble numerous times regarding r/piracy, despite it not hosting any copyrighted material either.

    Why is anyone complaining about instances not taking the same legal risks as a massive corporation? Just use another instance that fits your needs.
