coerce police into taking into custody entire servers
Name instances where this has happened, other than on entire websites dedicated to piracy. And overzealous hosting providers who shut down entire servers over a single DMCA (especially when the site doesn’t appear to host any content) should be avoided.
But I agree that it’s his own instance and he should do what he wants with it; that’d be the beauty of federation.
n total, 10 search warrants were issued and 14 people detained or accused of IP crimes, including four who were arrested in Spain. According to Europol, the prime suspect in this case had been earning €150,000 per month and lived in a luxury villa, drove expensive cars and took luxury holidays all over the world.
really coerced them through legal proceedings, damn.
Did you miss the part “other than websites dedicated to piracy”? The kingpin was making 150k€/month from his piracy ring, not some guy running a small free message board.

An instance of lawyers coercing police into taking into custody entire servers? Sure.

Consider how common these types of seizures are, you can search for more on your own.

Learn about the legal process, it’s the lawyers who made the case before the court who then gave green light for those search warrants.
you don’t coerce a cop by getting a warrant lol.
Not sure if you are willfully trying to act like an idiot, but congratulations on the block.

So you want me to provide an example, in a topic talking about piracy, for a comment that was replying in regards to it … that isn’t about piracy!?
Have you looked at how much seizures police and interpol perform in IP? Do you have any reason to expect an exception?
Maybe you’ll find this link more relevant: https://torrentfreak.com/police-raid-usenet-service-arrest-operator-seize-data-160325/
But there’s so many examples of server seizures for these sort of crimes, it’s almost bordering on the line of misinformation to claim otherwise.
