Then they would purge it from the repo. In fact, it's questionably the case that they have abided by the DMCA order, for the very reason that it still exists in the repo history. As far as I know, DMCA takedowns normally lead to closing the entire repo.
- rad_gruchalski 9y agoHow about don't host the code at a location which has such hostile laws?
- hmage 9y agoThat actually made me think -- is there such location?
- rad_gruchalski 9y agoThis is a good question. At least at a location where the US does not have an immediate jurisdiction. It's kinda lame, really, that the whole world has to bend over because all of these services are right there in the US. Make them work, at least. Germany, Sweden come to mind. *edit: removed a redundant word
- thecrazyone 9y agoI concur, I think until the world catches up with the innovation happening in the US (I'm guessing that's why this content is hosted on US services), we'll have to put up with this Edit: libertarianism anybody ? :D

- mirimir 9y agoWell, https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/ will block stuff. But then you just use a different gateway.
- gardnr 9y agoThe DMCA is a US law, so, anywhere outside jurisdiction of US law. GitLab on a C1 Scaleway instance would probably get you pretty far along the way. The lists really aren't that large in size but there are so many requests. It may be better to build in something like [WebTorrent](https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent) to propagate updates.
- mirimir 9y agoBotnet operators seem to manage it well enough. I'm guessing that something on HostSailor would be hard to take down. Or maybe China.
- thecrazyone 9y agoThis IMHO is the most sensible thing. There I think are a gazillion ways of serving your list which are out of reach of such laws (not necessarily US laws)
- sqeaky 9y agoThis isn't a legal issue in that the laws are bogus (I mean, they are but it is not the issue here). The real issue is that this company is bully and using the legal system as a bludgeon. These abuses should be penalized and they would happen less.
