Do you have any figures to show that the majority of the users on this instance are in favour of piracy? Or do you just assume you're in the majority?
Look at the vote count on the op by the admin
So out of those users who have both read and voted on this post, 60% voted negatively. It's safe to assume that the majority of people who did both are those who feel strongly one way or the other about the issue, and statistically it's more likely that those who disagree will vote, as those who are angry about something tend to be the most vocal. Unfortunately we have no easy way of knowing how many users who read the post don't care one way or another.
In addition, Lemmy.world has around 21K users per month, and out of those around 1.5K users voted negatively. That's around 7% of the monthly users who disagree with this news. Hardly a majority.
