Torrent sites exist solely to serve up torrents. Lemmy is just an aggregate of many, many sites, it can't possibly vet every single one, and if it tries then we are on the path to censorship.
It's perfectly reasonable that those torrents link to perfectly legally accessible content, and digital backups of purchased and owned licence software. Doesn't mean a host can afford to fight the media companies if they come after them.
Censorship always happens, you'd be disappointed if they didn't censor CSAM.
