    If you are in the US, hosting in another country may prevent your site from being shutdown, but it won't prevent you from being sued. Whether another country's servers will not respond to a DMCA depends on several factors (DMCA requests have been successful in Sweden and Canada in some cases). Things like whether you host the videos or not makes a difference in some countries. Whether you upload the content/links or users do can also make a difference. Sweden and Canada are both in the process of re-evaluating their copyright laws. So, I wouldn't count on them for long.

    Just remember, hosting in another country does not protect you from your own country's laws.
