Seems quite reasonable to remove illegal communities given how Lemmy works with the caching of all content locally. There is just a significant legal risk for the instance operators involved here.
How do you define "illegal community"
Asking for a friend
Merely discussing piracy is not a crime. And that's all that happens in that community
It depends on the kind of discussion. Incentivizing other people to break the law is illegal in most places
Then arrest the execs making those incentives; not the consumers taking and distributing notes on them.
Wannabe capitalist-tier commenting; tfu. Your breath reeks of Oxford polish and your brain is poisoned by vain, childish notions of 'owning' ideas like there's just an infinite supply of those under the sun.
Talking about piracy on lemmy is still not illegal, in most places.
Only matters where the servers and instance admins are
That doesn’t stop the media industry.
Sounds like the media industry is the illegal community if they enforcing their will as law when there is no such law.
They don't even need to win the case. They just need to bully the smaller person until they go bankrupt and shut down.
Piracy is not breaking the law. Fuck capitalism!
Look, I agree with the feeling behind what you are saying, However its important to remember Morality is not the same as Legality, and while they can sometimes overlap they are difrent cosepts, Piricy is moral, but not legal. If you ask me, it is A ok to do somthing that is moral but illegal
Whether or not it's moral or ethical is separate from it being legal, and it's definitely illegal (in the US).
But it's not, they're not doing actual piracy there, they're talking about it, and that's very much not illegal
Tell that to the person I replied to, not me, because they didn't say anything about talking about piracy.
Tfu
If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.
Oooh, if we're oversimplifying things, I got another one:
If you truly think ip law can be explained in a single sentence, you're an idiot.
That saying isn't trying to explain all of IP law. It's referring to products where there is no way to buy a copy you have permanent possession of. There's a reason you don't see the same fervor around pirating books.
Spoken like someone who either can't tell IP law is one of the main mechanics by which the white supremacist "rules-based world order" maintains its strangulatory, thieving grip on the world; or someone who relishes in that fact. Either way, unworthy of bending an ear to. "Those who do no research deserve no voice."
The funny thing about Lemmygrad people is that you could tell me that this comment was an intentional caricature and it'd seem just as likely as it being genuine.
And the funny thing about kbin people is you strut around like you're some kind of enlightened Top Mind apart from the rest of the nazi bars and radlib echo chambers ActivityPub graciously lends their backending to when you're really no different from the rest of the hive.
Me: ip law is complicated.
You: you're wrong, it's used for (even more things).
Wrong. My point is it is not worth regarding because it is an unjust 'legal' mechanic. That which is unjust demands breaching. Hence why I find your trying to quibble about how complicated it is like it even deserves heeding, or like you even deserve the point of view you're trying to push so fuckin funny.
Glad to have amused you then. Hope you won't take it too seriously, I certainly won't.
A more reddit string of meaningless blather couldn't possibly be conceived.
Thanks, couldn't have done it without you ;)
