I was wondering if you have offshore hosting (and host was fine with it) if you posted links to say rs,megaupload,hotfile etc with copywritten content how much power would they have on you? Not hosting any content just linking to it. ps. (hosting is in Netherlands)
Some offshore hosting (far east etc) don't care what you host. The concept of 'copyright' doesn't seem very big out there.
what i mean is if the host doesn't care what power do they have doing something to me (im in the usa)
i dont think they can do anything initially. They would start with complaining your host to take down the website. If your host denies or does not take it seriously then i dont think you need to worry bout anything. Neways there are several big sites hosting such content. Until n unless you are one of them i dont think there would be any problem.
