They are a lemmy instance dedicated to the facilitation of piracy, and copyright infringement in general which is illegal. It is by nature in violation of the rules of your instance which prohibit illegal content, therefore it is imperative that you defederate it in accordance with your policies.
This wanker’s not a lemmy.world user, but not just that, they made the account just now, maybe for the sole purpose of shitting on an instance
Correct. Trolling, and badly might I add.
Copyright infringement is illegal. Talking about copyright infringement is not.
And “copyright” has so many different definitions around the planet that it’s impossible to say if any of their discussions are about infringement.
They’re literally facilitating the sharing of torrents. That’s not “just talking about copyright infringement” that’s the facilitation of it.
Torrent files also aren’t illegal.
Also, you’re on the internet, which isn’t beholden solely to US copyright laws, so unless you’re a lawyer who specializes in international copyright law, I doubt you can speak with any certainty to the legality of post content in every jurisdiction across the globe.
Here’s an idea: if you don’t want to see that content, block the community.
They are illegal when they contain copyrighted material like games or movies, which is what those contain, they literally say it.
Also, you’re on the internet, which isn’t beholden solely to US copyright laws
It’s illegal in the US and either way it’s against lemmy.world’s server rules, specifically rule 1
No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).
I think you’re defending it because you’re a pirate.
Torrent files do not contain any copyrighted material and it’s not my job to educate you on how they work.
I dont really give a shit why you think anything.
You’re arguing semantics here because you know that I’m right, a torrent doesn’t literally contain a movie file, but it is used to fetch the copyrighted movie file. It makes you look bad when you make these stupid flaky arguments just because you want to keep access to your filthy pirate site. You’re not even on lemmy.world how does this concern you at all?
(PS I already messaged Lemm.ee admins about this issue, they’re looking into it.)
You know what people tend to say when they’re wrong?
You’re arguing semantics
The law is semantics you dolt.
You’re not even on lemmy.world how does this concern you at all?
“Bungiefan_ak@lemm.ee” is a weird way to spell “lemmy.world”
You can keep replying if you want to keep getting dunked on, your funeral.
I already did, I DMed the Admins there, they said they’ll look into it.
Does this seem to anyone else like a non-native speaker trying to sound officious or lawyerly?
Did I miss something? Did this already happen? I can’t seem to access the piracy community from lemmy.world, I’m getting a “couldnt_find_community” error
They deleted it, but there are many more like it on that instance that they didn’t delete, I say defederate the whole thing because they’re probably going to just make more like it. Deleting them is just going to be a cat and mouse game and more and more will slip though the cracks.
Proof they deleted it (it’s also in the Site Modlog):
As OP said, he has received a reaction from the admins and with that his question is answered. I’ll close this topic for now since this is not a discussion community on what is piracy and what not.
