I’m asking this out of curiosity; I don’t need to host anything that can’t already be done in the West
Lots of countries have very relaxed or non-existent enforcement of torrent filesharing. That’s not what I’m asking.
I’m asking about what place one could openly host every known commercial pop song and every Hollywood film without any worry about being shutdown or sued.
For a reference, according to a one-minute check of Wikipedia, the only countries which haven’t ratified the Berne Convention or the TRIPS Agreement in any way are Eritrea, Kosovo, Palau and Palestine. While joining these agreements doesn’t imply they’re enforced, it gives an idea of how widely governments do agree to intellectual property rights.
how much would it cost to launch an independent server into orbit?
I think Russia, because of the sanctions. What I’ve heard is that they stopped caring about piracy, there’s piracy even on their social media, like VK, out in the open.
If it was relaxed before, now it feels like it’s legalized in there.
Edit: found a source for this
Good example, with the caveat that one would still be subject to the intellectual property rights of Russians, and I’d assume of their allies, right? (I know I used Hollywood in my example, that’s on me)
Thanks for adding the source.
