Offshore VPS ignoring DMCA

BartokBartok Member

Is there an offshore VPS here, which ignores DMCA?

I am not talking about pirated movies or torrent. I have a website in which people share photos for discussion. I regularly receive DMCA as apparently, photographers use commercial services to find their photos, and they do not recognize that this is a forum-like discussion rather than commercial use.

Anyhow, too many messages are annoying for the provider and me.

I wonder if they are offshore places where I can host a website without worrying about copyright claims of photos.

    BuyVM, FlokiNET

  • Based on the way you described your situation, I doubt you need a provider that ignores DMCA. You need a good provider who bothers to glance through DMCA reports. For peace of mind, you could probably get a VPS anywhere outside of US. I personally find DMCA ignored to be a marketing gimmick actually, but you could look for providers from eastern european countries if you're that concerned.

    I saw many "interesting" sites behind https://www.cloudns.net/premium/
    Try it. Maybe it will suite your needs.
    What about VPS and where to store it - try https://blazingfast.io/
    I do not like anymore the company for many reasons, but it's good one for such cases.

    I can not recommend blazingfast. I received just one DMCA requst, and they directly suspended my VPS. Exactly the way not to do it...

    Can you show the request? how it looks like? Or termination from blazingfast, just curious what reason they wrote

    IonSwitch reviews DMCA complaints for accuracy. If you are truly using images under fair use, we discuss it with you. I don't mean to suggest we ignore them in any sense of the word, but we validate them. I think our record holder is ~47 complaints, zero of which we passed through.

    I wouldn't host anything questionable/high risk on IonSwitch based on what this Host Rep is writing on the forums here. At most he appears to be very childish and conflicting character. He condemns copyright violation on another thread but then he advertises his own services on DMCA threads like here.

    You just admitted to running cracked TS servers that your provider claims were causing DDOS attacks, and is an active target for DDOS attacks.

    There's a difference between encouraging/allowing copyright violation and not accepting invalid DMCAs.

  • @Francisco 's buyvm.net Luxembourg location is the most dmca free-speech you can ever imagine.

    @stefeman We don't allow DMCA violations. We validate them. Running printed software is pretty a fairly bold violation of copyright. If you can't understand the difference move along.

    If your going to host illegal content yes; we aren't the host for you. Move along.

    If your going to make persona attacks, and call folks childish I would suggest you learn to discuss issues on their merit and not make ad hominem based attacks. Move along.

    If you host content and want a host that reads, reviews, and discussed tough issues we do that. Every day.

    But if it's clearly illegal; f'off.
