This is fucking lame and will have a HUGE impact on Lemmy as a whole.
Sorry to be blunt, but this is an ignorant and dumb move. Nobody likes over-moderation.

Are you a lawyer? Would you happen to know to what extent the owners of lemmy.world are liable in any nation for their role in helping people pirate material? Im willing to bet this is about liability.
Unless the users themselves are directly posting links to the content and hosting it (the pirated content) on lemmy, no instance would be held liable. Anyone defending this has no idea what the fuck they are talking about.
That's a bit naive, knowing what we know about the sharks that run the large media corporations. For your average instance owner, it's not a question of being found not liable, it's the fact that you as an ordinary guy with an ordinary life and an ordinary income suddenly have to defend yourself legally with all the exposure and expense that entails, from day one.
You mean the cases that are almost always thrown out in court? You mean the cases where said sharks have to pay the defendant?
The defendant still has to pay at first. You have no idea what you are saying here.
I don't know about you but engaging a lawyer and going to court to defend myself would be a massive financial drain. And to risk that on simply the hope that a court might find in my favour is far too big of a risk. Then add on all the unwanted public exposure, the internet notoriety etc. Fuck that.
No, it won't. Only those little bits.
Because that's how the fediverse works.
You should like... not be so quick to call people ignorant. Especially when you're displaying a lot of ignorance as to how this entire setup works.
