I see a time in the not to distant future where people in other countries start copying well used and know US sites and hosting them in say China. OK, China is scary, but what about, say, Poland? A kinda of whole website piracy. It might work because they can simply market the safe as being safe from the US government.
I'm thinking of sites like that forms site that suddenly got taken down wrecking the day of, what, millions of customers? How many of them might changed to an identical site that guarantees no US gov interference? Such people might not even realise its not the same people.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoGood point. Basically all user-generated content sites could leave the US for countries that continue to respect safe harbor provisions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act#Title_II:_Online_Copyright_Infringement_Liability_Limitation_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Ac...
- rmc 15y agoDo other sites have "safe harbour" laws like that part of the DMCA? I'm not sure any do...
