Absurd. None of these communities are even hosted on lemmy.world.

This is the answer, period. They aren't hosting infringing content, they're barely even linking to discussion of it. Most of the piracy communities here on Lemmy all have rules about not directly linking to any infringing content.

It's a fucking joke by people who think they're doing something to protect their users but are actually just fucking around wasting time and energy.

they are, post and comments are mirrored on all federated instances.

Which are worth nothing in the case of a legal battle.
