Do it Ethically
Some may call us pirates, which I find really cool
But the true evil Pirates/criminals are the ones that keep the power to themselves and don't share it with others
Information is the only true power, and it should be free(free as in free speech) for all.

Until copyright owners start banging on providers of those who host these instances sadly. Give it a few years and we will be back there
It's a lot harder for copyright holders to intimidate the fediverse. First of all, there isn't a single entity that can do the policing for them. Second, fediverse servers are across the whole world, in jurisdictions other than the US.
They can send DMCA strike to Contabo and then sue Zer0 directly.
That's the beauty of the fediverse. The community can move to any lemmy server, especially one outside US jurisdiction.
I'm aware, but the current one is in Germany.
Yeah! If there's too much attention from US companies the instances related to piracy can just move. I'm wondering what's the law for US residents who host their website in another country, do they still have to respect US laws?
Yep, it's bound to happen as the instances get larger. For example, it's why I will mention there are actually awesome leaked playable builds of Gears of War 3 on PC which are super fun to play, but I won't link directly to them.
