Does your local small to medium instance user have enough money to not get hamstrung by a big film industry's legal team?

Edit... not that I agree with the result but I think the question I am answering with rhetorically answers the original question, unfortunately.

Edit 2: If all this crypto stuff worked as well as it was described, it would be cool if there was a DAO or basically a mutually voted funds account that could store and send crypto funds to a lemmy instance owner to fund lawyers, should a legal case against a major lemmy instance come under legal fire.
