db0 addressed this recently. The fun thing about the fediverse is that content is cached on all the different servers. In the case of ActivityPub it's potentially thousands, and not even clear which ones it is or how many. So the complainant would have to go and order DMCA takedowns for each individual server. So the db0 server could be shut down completely but all of its' content would still be readily accessible.
Not sure of the legality of "making an example" of a specific server like db0. I think they probably have to make a DMCA request and then prove that you failed to comply but I'm not a lawyer.
We're not American, and as far as I know luxembourg doesn't have dmca laws. But we anyway don't allow direct linking to pirated content. Only discussion of said content and linking to tlds
What about your DNS provider?
Typically it takes a lot more for dns to be lost. Let's hope it never comes to that, especially since we don't actually allow links to pirate content
