At worst they'd just get DMCA take down requests. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] planish@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) Lawsuits don't generally just throw themselves out. You have to pay a lawyer to show up and ask the judge to throw out the lawsuit on account of the fact that you don't host the thing, or whatever the reason is. Judges don't go out and do research; if one side's lawyer says Whirlybird runs The Pirate Bay out of their kitchen and the other side's lawyer isn't there, then the court is going to proceed as though that is at least plausible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago So many laws work like this too, it makes them worthless if personal wealth is required to get them enforced.
