1. Most web hosting companies have it spelled out in their TOS in regards to copyright ownership, the process, and removing offenders.
2. You do not need laws changed for piracy. You could use expansion, and need enforcement of 2257.
That is the solution to your problem. Regardless of off shore hosting. A lot, not all, of the biggest tubes are owned by U.S. companies. Once the FBI or whatever acronym starts knocking the dicks in of tube site owners who do not have 2257 docs, they can compound the charges with copyright infringement.
While the tube model in some shape or form may be here to stay. Tubes with stolen or illegal content are not going to have licenses, or 2257 docs to cover their asses. I do not care what closes them down. Jail for 2257 or copyright. But there are already things in place to close them if you really wanted to.
However, most of this board I see crying in their beer do nothing to stop it, and the others constantly, daily, posting these threads from what I can tell do not....
1. Own content.
2. Produce content.
3. Have never run pay sites.
4. Do not have the first clue on 2257, DMCA, how it works and what is required.
So basically,... they have no fucking clue what they are talking about and just enjoy getting people worked up over the same tired bullshit on a daily basis over some shit that could be handled to some degree with a few forms, phone calls, or annoymous tips to law enforcement of your choice.
