Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers

And they can’t sue without the case having any merits. Meritless lawsuits also legally known as frivolous lawsuits are thrown out before even discovery phase with attorney fees awarded and the moron lawyers getting sanctioned.

Hosting isn’t necessary, providing access is enough, otherwise The Pirate Bay wouldn’t have had to change location again and again.

Hosting is required under DMCA. And The Pirate Bay was ban and blocked hundreds of times, they have many proxy sites for that reason.

And the fact that they didn’t host the content didn’t keep them from being raided and from seeing their servers being seized.

Indeed, and they made them heroes, not villains. The Police Bay was a nice touch.
And DMCA wasn’t used as justification for the raid. US wasn’t even directly involved. It was explicitly mentioned that US law only applies to the US territory. You are grappling at straws to prove your point that is just false by any factual reading.
If that were the case, Lemmy would be illegal, since it allows you or me or anyone else to upload any image we don’t own the copyright to.
