It will likely depend on how popular Lemmy becomes as well as the server physical location \ DNS registry that of used.

Having a piracy channel on an instance located in a country that does not recognize intellectual property, and a DNS registration in a TLD that doesn’t respond to piracy complaints should be pretty bullet proof. Only thing that companies could do at that point would be to try to get a court order to have the DNS entry blocked by US \ EU \ etc DNS providers, or a court order for ISPs blocking the server IP address. These could be easily circumvented by changing the server IP if it happens and updating the DNS.

Would every instance federated with the piracy instance be at risk as well? Like how facebook or reddit would be for user uploaded content in some jurisdictions

Yeah I’d guess that such an instance would be on a lot of Blocklists very soon since pretty much everyone hosting instances is doing it as a volunteer and not as a job so noone wants to have this kind of legal trouble as a possibility
