How does it make sense? Did Comcast have to/did they block my access to RARBG while it still existed? No. I get removing piracy content on their own instance, but blocking other instances is not necessary.
The problem is that the admins are all just volunteers and the instance doesn’t exist to make money. If a big company decides to sue them, even if they are in the right, they will be drowned in legal fees.
Not to mention, legality doesn’t need to be a question if the admins of Lemmy.world get drowned in legal fees before even having to appear in a court. The rich don’t exist by our laws and idk why anybody expects differently at this point.
Is allowing access to piracy resources the same as hosting piracy resources? Is Comcast at risk of being shut down because they didn’t block everyone’s access to RARBG? This is largely rhetorical; the answer is “no”. lemmy.world’s admins are not being honest.
Official statement
Making official statements on Discord, and not Lemmy is WILD
Welp, hopefully more people simply move instances.
Yeah, it sucks but it makes sense, there is no one to defend those volunteer individuals if anyone wants to go after them.

Comcast has money to defend itself. That’s a huge difference.

Glad to see Lemmy.world doing their part to keep the Fediverse safe and legal for all users here.
The contents are still hosted by respective instances.
World achieves nothing, they dont even host the contents. This is pure power trip or irrational fear, or both.
