The Pirate Bay is “technically” not breaking any laws
As another user mentioned, TPB hosting magnet links and torrent files. Bring down TPB site down = no access to torrent files/magnet links = you can’t download the torrent (teoretically). Sharing link to TPB site does not break any laws and is totally legal.
You don’t have to break laws to get in trouble if you are pissing off rich people. They’ll find something, anything, to nail you on. It’s totally ok for random normal people to not want to be “heroes” to a bunch of other random people they don’t know. Heroes attract villains, and instability. And while it’s just starting to get off the ground, lemmy doesn’t need villains or instability.
Basically “Lorem ipsum”
Let the smaller, less visible servers do the shady but “totally technically legal” stuff.
So you do support piracy? Or not?
Big servers with big targets on their forehead need to be stable and drama-free.
“drama-free” lol. This is drama. This is drama that should not have happened in the first place.
Well, blocklisting certain communities does not make you un-sue-able. 🤷🤦
