The big issue with that. Is where the host instance is located.

If Lennyworld is located somewhere piracy will get them shut down. Federatng a pirate instance is a bad idea.

Hosting is the legal issue. Linking to illegal content that somebody else is hosting is much harder to tackle legally, which is why isohunt was around for so long despite being based in the US. IIRC they shut down not because they lost any lawsuits but because they just couldn’t afford the legal battle.
