I think you don't understand what a DMCA notice actually is. The whole point of it is to give you a chance to remove offending content. The "threat" of legal action won't actually result in anything, provided you comply, and that is exactly why I do not understand the preemptive actions, when there is basically no such thing as immediate legal threat in case of DMCA notices. The copyright holders often do not want to go through the court system either and will gladly accept pre-legal-action compliance.

These communities are not even hosted on lemmy.world, this is an absurdly overreacted response. There were no signs of any legal trouble and I can't understand how lemmy.world specifically would be the target of such legal action. If you want to host an instance, you should do everything in your power to allow discussions on any topic, while in necessary cases disallowing direct posting/linking of illegal content. Instead, you chose to block a community that has long been known to avoid having any trouble with the moderators.
I suggest you buy the game of course, it is absolutely great and worth the money. But if you want the mods without buying it, you can get them from GitHub as someone here mentioned. If you still can't find the mod, you can dm me and I can get it for you :)
It depends, you can rent an already set-up server/VM just for torrenting and related purposes, but of course nothing prevents you from setting it up in any VM wherever you rent. Just know that some providers that don't explicitly offer a seedbox for purposes of unknown legality will not appreciate it and may terminate the lease.
If the only difference in hardware is the RAM - then no problem at all, probably is going to work just fine. If there are minor hardware differences (most probably this is the case), probably is going to work almost fine, and some things may break - as always with custom ROMs the camera is the part most susceptible to weird behavior, but all in all there is basically no risk of any permanent damage, in worst case the phone will just not boot to system and you can reflash it. I can't think of a reason for just the ROM to cause any lasting damage to your phone, so in my opinion you can go ahead.
Piracy has steadily been getting more accessible and easy to use (see: Jellyfin, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr etc.). There is basically no reason anymore to pay for any digital context, especially considering the streaming services are screwing over both the users and the creators. I like to support game developers that make really enjoyable games, but I can't and won't tolerate any shitty subscriptions that offer increasingly less content for increasingly exorbitant prices
Well, more precisely it's a piece of hardware, and it remotely manages torrenting whatever you want, and then you can securely download it wherever you are using the software part
You are taking the wrong drugs, then :)
What about cheat detection? FOSS makes it trivial to bypass any and all protection systems.
Lemmy has many features reddit is missing, especially considering the Jerboa client. Dumped reddit and never looked back.
Well, caching content is not the same as copying it. The major difference in the court would be that caching is automatic - and as such you are not in complete responsibility of what it is you copied. If you do everything in your power to comply with any DMCA notices, then I couldn't realistically see lemmy.world being targeted. This is an analogous situation to eg. accidentally opening a website containing illegal content. Sure, your computer did download the contents to the RAM, but what matters is that you acted in good faith and did not attempt to get the contents, it just happened in the process of browsing the web and as such you could not reasonably expect to receive such content.
