Re: Buy your hosting in a non-recognised state, and avoid copyright issues

How come the outside world never attempted to stop this?
Anyone running such a site would still be liable under the laws of the countries where they live, have registered their companies, and probably even visit. So it may not buy you much as far as copyrighted material is concerned.
