From what i've read over the past year it seems that aside from the physical records all you need is an address on your website that lists where the records can be found.

The question becomes how to satisfy US-based hosts (and possibly processors) without breaking the privacy laws in your own country.

In one word? Lie.

What would be the harm in putting a fake address on all of your sites? I can't imagine a host (or most processors) flying somebody out to the middle of nowhere just to check and make sure you are compliant.

Any holes in this theory? I don't see how the processor or host could be held liable for their customers actions so I don't think it would be screwing them over.

Just some food for thought.
