Nope, nowadays, for illegal hosting you can host anywhere except on Earth. There is basically no where to hide on Earth. Not just in USA, for those talking Asia, illegal pirate distributions are normally a criminal offense and not just a civil case.
Yes this is true that it is still illegal but there are some countries (very few) that will ignore the laws And
Thanks everyone! Do you know where I can get hosting services from Sweden or Hong Kong? warez-bb's servers are located in Hong Kong and thepiratebay's are in Sweden. And which one would perform faster for American visitors? Thanks!
check the web hosting section there are a few hosts that have these off shore servers, post a thread in there for what you are looking for and you will be sure to get many replies..
A lot of customer services and sales will say yes, take your money and accept your hosting until something goes wrong for eg a DMCA served. Then you find yourself terminated with no recourse. I agree with IwhiC this is a very gray area, why take the risk. The Pirate Bay is different, they are a giant, they can afford the law suits and whatever, but few are the size of them.
this is an old thread but for those still searching for this i suggest Amsterdam, HK, Singapore, Russia. I'm not so sure about the last 3 but I know people who have torrent websites hosted in Amsterdam.
you can try dedicatedserverandhosting.com they accept torrent , porn , warez and all oter things except phishing or hacking script
Along with hosting, be sure that it should not be accessible through regularly used browsers like Chrome, Mozilla, IE, Opera, Safari etc.
