Servers are just tools for entities. If all your servers are hosted on the moon, you still need to form a company to own the servers.

  Well that's only if you have a reason to care about a particular Terran jurisdiction. If you deploy servers to the moon with a self-sufficient power supply, networking, and maintenance, and you want to host The Pirate Bay or whatever in flagrant violation of Terran law -- you can! Governments operate on threat of violence. If you can arrange to be beyond their reach, then you can ignore their rules. One doesn't have to look to the Moon for evidence of that, migration to the "New World" from "Old Europe" is sufficient. In a world where bitcoin is still a thing, those moon servers could potentially even make money and participate in the Earth-bound economy (e.g. via a participating Earth uplink station).

    You are not beyond their reach though. Your servers might be, but you, personally, your routing and your uplinks are not.

      What if all of the uplinks were self contained pizza box sized devices?
