I'm seriously considering moving my content sites out of servers located in the US du to this 2257. I wonder if US hosts will follow some of their clients and setup shops in more "porn friendlier" countries!

It doesnt matter where the server is.
Example I have a server in China, but I still live in the USA.
Or I have an office in china with the servers in Russia but my corporation is in the USA. -
Why not just host with companies that are already outside of the US? Why do you think you need to wait for a US hosting company to setup in another country?I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.Comment

Brisk, there problem is
It doesnt matter where you host.
If you reside in the USA you are applicable to it's laws.Comment

See where it says US
As in United States
Like yea know, United States of Crapmerica?
For anyone in the USA it doesnt matter where they send a server too or where it is hosted, IF THEY LIVE IN THE USA then they are affected by the law regardless of where the server/hosting company is at. If they live out of America but USE an American coproration to host their adult their site must still be compliant.Comment

"Foreign producers who wish to peddle their products in the United States should be expected to abide by our laws no less than domestic producers."
direct quote from a US court of appeals and it means if your business has any contact with the US whatsoever then you are affectedComment

I'm not waiting for US hosts to setup costs to setup elsewhere, I'm waiting for the 2257 to take effect before I decide what my next move will be. Tho I'd like to know if hosting companies in the US will start having servers/offices in other countries so that they don't lose some of their clients....Originally posted by BRISKComment

Who are your domains registered with? They also need to be with a non US company. Be sure to also remove links to any US sponsors.Originally posted by Alex from Montreal.Comment

Well I dont think the domain name itself has any effect on 2257 laws at all...Comment

So if a Japanese resident has a Japanese adult website hosted in Japan, and uses JCB Card for billing, but doesn't have any 2257 info, you think the US government is going to try and pull their IP from the nameservers?Originally posted by CheneyRumsfeldI post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

www.indymedia.org isn't shut down, and suspected support of terrorism is a little more serious than simply forgetting to put some 2257 on a webpage with naked pictures of some 50 year old woman.Originally posted by mardigras

The seized servers were in London, England.Originally posted by BRISK
Sections from http://www.eff.org/Censorship/Indymedia/ :
Two Internet servers, known as ahimsa1 and ahimsa2, provided space to more than 20 Independent Media Centers in the United States and around the world, offering independent journalists a soapbox upon which to speak in a public forum. Independent Media Centers are autonomous portions of Indymedia, a global collective of independent media organizations and thousands of journalists offering grassroots, non-corporate coverage of news events. IMCs publish information often missed by mainstream media organizations, and offer unique perspectives on world events. The IMC content is widely read, with the two servers transmitting over 3.2 terabytes of information a month, serving over 18 million page views a month.
Through the Ahimsa servers, Indymedia IMCs had access to Internet services for news websites and an online radio server. The hosted websites included local IMCs from Western Massachusetts, Andorra, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Euskal Herria (Basque Country), Galzia, Italy, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, multiple sites from France and Belgium, and popular Indymedia Internet radio streams. The Internet radio streams used the domain radio.uk1.indymedia.org, providing about ten streams to the public.
The servers provided email services for BLAG (Brixton Linux Action Group), syndicate.org.uk, and foref.org (For Refugees), and a beta test email service at indymail.org. The servers also contained an archive of the email communications from the ahimsa techs.
In addition, the servers hosted www.blagblagblag.org, a website offering BLAG (BLAG Linux And GNU), a version of the GNU/Linux operating system, along with technical support and forums for communicating about the software..Comment

Yes, and they were hosted by Rackspace, a US company. Which is probably why the FBI handed Rackspace the court order instead of Indymedia.Originally posted by mardigras
Indymedia.org was suspected of supporting terrorism and they were being hosted by a US company, so it's not really surprising that Rackspace handed over the servers.
That scenario doesn't prove that US authorities can just wander all over the world taking whatever servers they want.I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

Your missing the point. The USA has to first issue a warrant for your arrest before any such action would even be discussed with a foreign government. They are not going to extradite you just so the USA can search your records. That's not going to happen and every country on earth would laugh at that request.Originally posted by mardigras
Just because you host, bill and live abroad does not mean your in trouble. You would first have to deny the USA access to your records. Then they would have to issue a warrant. Then they would have to negotiate with the government that controls the country you are in, bill in and host in... MAYBE they will assist the USA on such a bull shit matter. Maybe not.
There are plenty of countries that will not extradite people for rape and murder, they would laugh hysterically at the US request to do so over documents that may not even be illegal.
The bottom line is this. The porn industry will evolve over this and the smart hosting, billing and domain registrars who are not already overseas, will set up there to avoid this bullshit.
It's time for another step in porn evolution...
Bring it on.
