- flyGuyOnTheSly 7y agoWell I wouldn't be opposed to setting up the server and corporation in any country that I had to to get it done. I am based out of Canada and we have extremely good file sharing law precedent set many years ago by the RIAA trying to sue a Canadian for sharing movies online. The judge said that you are allowed to share movies with friends, and nobody can determine how many friends any one individual has so sharing with thousands of millions through torrent is OK too essentially. Also torrent tracker websites are not file sharers. Thepiratebay and 1337x don't actually host any files.
- rolph 7y agothe question of facilitation of piracy can be an issue it doesnt have to stick if you get enough copyright trolls on you your wallet will get thin as you handle multiple court cases regardless of outcome I recall something about canada considering a publicly broadcasted TV show to be in the public domain so that things like threes company or happy days are fair game in canada... is that true?
- flyGuyOnTheSly 7y agoNever heard anything about the public broadcasting > public domain loophole but it doesn't sound too far fetched. If anything, we are liberal with our copyright laws up here.
