Critical support for the Lemmy world peeps in their fight against pro-intellectual property nerds

Yep I love piracy but I have a real life and I’d think twice about what I hosted if i ran an instance…no matter what I believe and the low likelihood of legal consequences. Hosting an instance is a hobby. I have to click two buttons in the app I use to access this place on another account. Who cares.

it’s understandable that they’d rather be overly cautious when it comes to stuff they can be sued for

Anyone can be sued for anything. That alone isn't a good reason.

A website like this is never going to be actually held liable for people making comments about piracy. That's not how the law works.
