    The way lemmy is programmed is kinda ghettoz youre not getting it straight from another instance - first the request gets saved on lemmy.world, then send to you from its cache.

    The saving of this cache puts them at rist of hosting copyrighted material (even if copyright is bullshit)

      I don’t see how that risk is any greater than any mailing list potentially forwarding copyrighted material.

      As long as the instance would comply with any relevant DMCA request, it seems unlikely that legal action could be taken against them.
