I'm just speculating, but maybe the owner is in a different country? Not everything is America and even the EU varies somewhat in laws and regulations. Then there is the entire rest of world. And finally different people have their individual morals and stances and what risks they are willing to take for others. Regardless I don't see any need to bash anybody else over this. Just switch to an instance by your own preference and be done with it. If it is really that important; run an instance of your own, private or public, and deal with it yourself.
It's not about where is the owner it's about where is the server and there is hundreds of instances but only lemmy.world did this.
Yeah I did but still this don't justify the outdated "unremoval of Piracy communities" post they should update this
