The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.

If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).

Better to insulate the major instances from potential liability. If people want to find the piracy channels, they can.

Yeah. Thankfully there's an industrious community of innovative collaborators out there to keep those corners of the Internet thriving and findeable.

I make a lot of noise about how irritated I am at anti-piracy measures in my paid streaming services, but it's not because I think they're going to actually stop any piracy. It's because they're charging me an extra $1.00 per month for their stupid useless anti-piracy measures.
