#12They can just file another DMCA against Codeberg, what am I missing here?
That won't be easy because Codeberg follows German law.
Germany and the EU will probably kowtow to the US if the DMCA requests or lawsuits are brought by big enough players.
Big money interests rub shoulders with US politicians, US politicians deal with their overseas counterparts. Therefore, big enough DMCA requests will be mentioned behind closed doors in the same breath as international trade and other geopolitical concerns. Money protects money in deals between close enough friends and allies.
If Codeberg were based in Russia or a US geopolitical adversary, on the other hand, such requests would likely be ignored.

For real. Use https://radicle.xyz/ if you want actual takedown resistance.

No one has the guts, time, or money to challenge it though

Linking to piracy sites whose content is all blatantly stolen from artists does seem violating to me.
That seems like an argument to go after the actual alleged illegally hosted materials through the proper DMCA takedown request.

#18You can't make up things like FAKKU, LLC. This simulation is out of control.

Both should be done. Often the actual illegally hosted materials are on servers not friendly with takedown requests or will get immediately reloaded by the pirates. By going after the links it can cut off the ability for people to find the illegally hosted materials.

what piracy sites is gallery-dl linking to?
I do not want to promote them here, but if you read the linked github thread you will see the names of what extractors were deleted.
Through the DCMA lens, does a tool having the ability to download from example.com = linking to example.com?
