Is it safe to directly share pirated links? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Since we are not on Reddit and out of the tentacles of DMCA, can we freely paste safe-to-share pirated links without any obfuscation and hints?

If the instance is running in a country that doesn't honor DMCA takedowns then yeah it would be totally in the clear. I don't know if this one is or isn't, but the technology allows for it.

Even then it isn't a good idea. Any instance that is federated and has users of this sub would also be hosting the links and is required to respond to DMCA. The only thing that direct link sharing would lead to is the defederation of this instance.
