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

[-] ghost@xcore.social 42 points 1 year ago

Correct. Trolling, and badly might I add.

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.

[-] ghost@xcore.social 63 points 1 year ago

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.

Discussions aren't illegal in most places, but maybe Disney will give you your good boy points.

[+] Bungiefan_ak@lemm.ee -85 points 1 year ago

They're literally facilitating the sharing of illegal torrents and also links to copyrighted rom files. That's not discussion that's directly enabling piracy which is against Lemmy.world's rules

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

[-] moitoi@feddit.de 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Torrenting to download is legal in my country.

[+] Bungiefan_ak@lemm.ee -85 points 1 year ago

Good for you, still illegal in good old America, and that's all that matters here. Why not host your own lemmy instance and federate with them then.

[-] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

good old America, and that's all that matters here

Americans are so adorable, I want to pet them 😅 Yes who's the bestest country in the world? Of course you are, yes, you, good boi

[-] ghost@xcore.social 39 points 1 year ago

Why not host your own lemmy instance and defederate with them then?

Dumbass

[+] Bungiefan_ak@lemm.ee -65 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If I hosted my own I certainly would, I would never federate with Instances which host of facilitate illegal content.

However this isn't about my instance or your instance, it's about an Instance who's primary goal violates the rules and guidelines of the lemmy.world server, by virtue of being an Instance dedicated to Piracy. It's not about disliking them, it's about what is right, and illegal activity isn't right or acceptable. Also it's literally in their rules, if lemmy.world didn't care or have rule 1 I wouldn't even bother here.

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material without the explicit permission of the owner(s).

It's literally right there, lemmy.dbzer0.com violates that by being a hub for piracy.

[-] ghost@xcore.social 29 points 1 year ago

So go host your own instance.

Considering your account was created 3 hours ago, and the content you’ve posted so far, nothing of value will be lost.

Thanks for the entertainment.

[-] moitoi@feddit.de 20 points 1 year ago

My argument is to not pretend it's illegal when it's not worldwide. What you write is American defaulting.

Maybe don't host in the US or in a similar juridiction. The same argument as self hosting.

Oh wait

EDIT You're a lemm.ee user, so why do you care about Lemmy.world? Just focus on lemm.ee.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 32 points 1 year ago

Does this seem to anyone else like a non-native speaker trying to sound officious or lawyerly?

[-] polyrhythm@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

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
