They put out a post about why they did it. But basically it comes down to it being illegal where they are, and the admins don’t want to be arrested.
As much as I hate that it’s blocked, I also don’t want possibly the largest Lemmy instance’s admins arrested or dragged into a court battle. I think that would be devastating for Lemmy as a whole.
It’s understandable to fear being arrested or financially ruined if some shithead company decides to go after you.
That said, maybe it’s time I make an account on an instance that has a more cavalier attitude towards piracy.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (blocked by lemmy.world instance)
I did not know that… Does lemmyworld just like the taste of boots that much?

It’s illegal in their local jurisdiction.
Discussing it surely isn’t. It’s not like that community offers warez themselves
