I agree with your frustration on the subject of piracy there are countless legitimate reasons why people might go that route. I personally know a lot of people who archive their physical media and store it on personal services to increase the lifespan of their collections.
I am not a lawyer however I will say this, according to my research our users on in this community are protected under fair use doctrine. If someone copies an article in its full form and provides a direct link to said article no law is broken.
I went as far to check the United States, EU and German copyright laws. I added the statues in this post to highlight the law vs the rules. In the end this clearly has more to do with “rules” then any enforceable law.
My advice to you is to reach out to the admins and inquire about this shift. I have noticed other communities openly 1:1 copying articles without issue. I don’t know what makes worldnews special.
That being said just remember it’s a rule not a law, so I don’t think you have to worry about DMCA letters in your mailbox anytime soon. Just use bard to rewrite and paste the article then it is not verbatim and follows. world rules.
I hope this helps and I know this is not the answer you want but at this time if I am being honest, it’s the best, I’ve got for the time being. If you need anything at all or have further questions dm.
