Where to Host An Illegal-By-Amerca's-Standards Torrent Site

Discussion in 'Legal Issues' started by BenGregg, Aug 22, 2008.

    So, I wrote a thread about the legality of a Torrent site, and another member made a post about the legality of Warez. It's been confirmed these two things are illegal in America, however many have stated, that in China, among other countries, there is no problem hosting these kinds of sites. So I was wondering, does anybody recommend a free, no-ads, host located in a country that do not act against Warez, or Torrent serving Websites? If this post is found too taboo, just message me instead of replying in the post.

    You may find somewhere willing to host a torrent site that won't respond to a DMCA take down, but you can ultimately be sued if the content being distributed through your site is illegal. You should really consult an attorney to what your exposure is before setting up a site. Some hosting companies have recently been held liable for hosting the site, so you will probably have a hard time finding a site that is going to host you for free.

    Free? I thought some torrent sites were considering buying an island to continue offering illegal content.
    Stay away from warez, you could end up losing everything you own or going to jail for it. Is that really worth it?

    Not really, for example people from China or India will not find difficulties accessing DP.
