Vsys, Namecheap and others in EU ‘Piracy Watchlist’ After Failing to Block Infringing Sites
BREIN highlights the importance of the “Know Your Customer” (KYC) principle, arguing that intermediaries should properly identify their customers. They believe this principle should legally apply to all intermediaries. This would help enforcement efforts, as pirate sites and services often operate anonymously.
The evolving hosting landscape is one of the challenges highlighted by BREIN. Large Dutch hosting providers are increasingly positioning themselves as “mere conduit” services. They provide content neutral services to resellers, who ultimately serve the pirate customers. Without KYC requirements, however, it’s often difficult to identify the ultimate targets.
“These resellers are often however not cooperative or not even responsive. And even if they are responsive and willing to provide information, the information is usually not verified.”
BREIN nominates several hosting companies for the EU’s piracy watchlist, including Amarutu Technology, Private Layer, Alexhost, Virtual Systems, SERVERS TECH, and Packet Exchange. These companies can be characterized as ‘not responsive’ or ‘not cooperative’, the group writes.

Will Namecheap force KYC on cryptocurrencies too? Why was Flokinet and few others removed from the list?
Comments
Brein is cringe fake and gay. Fuck em. Brein, more like breinloos. Kankergezwel.
Only makes me want to use Alexhost and vsys more.
Oh wow, a list of based companies to do business with!
Love you both
in a non homosexual way.
Hello sandoz my fellow friend from other dimension, yes you are right. Its suspicious why flokinet is removed from the list.
Only good thing that BREIN does, giving us a list of based hosting
I am using vsys already)
i will keep using alexhost and vsys, but make sure to encrypt the data on the hard disk and preferable an dedicated server. There were rumors that one hosting provider reboots the server with live cd and check the contents on hard disk for ukranie/russian propaganda.
Who is packetexchange.eu? Their site looks quite unprofessional.
I don't think Alexhost has that good of a reputation from what I've heard.
Also surprised to see vdsina in the list. Are they DMCA-ignoring? I just knew of them as a cheap Russian provider.
well, moldova infrastructure is not that same as europan standard. Also the network is different there, you have to pay like 400 euros for 1 gbit unmetered.
Basically the list of people who should avoid visiting France ⛔🇫🇷.
Check their "About" page: https://vdsina.ru/en/about
I wouldn't be surprised if they enjoy trolling brEiny organizations like this one.

I'm read this page and I'm dead of laught

Ofc you do, I would too with free 20k
I am waiting for the day when iHostART gets nominated lol
Calin will be famous
I strive to be as based as Alexey Novikov in life.
@vsys_host
Special LowEnd deals to celebrate this achievement?
So called “watch list” is also dubed to be “notorious markets”. Those who are in the watch list sooner than latter will be pushed by local gov. Copyright cartel has time and resources to make life miserable for any provider or person who they stigmatize as “non compliant business”.
Copyright Mafia has power, money and government officials in their bed. Talk about how corrupted the world is.
Probably they will be added in next Notorious Market from US…
fuck those copyright clowns, they get for every printer, HDD and what not money, they are as bad as the church. Every penny they don't get is a good penny.
That is true. Even in Egypt they can act…
Nice to here that
It’s coming soon! I think in 2-3 weeks
Wait for your VPS discount coupons because of missing your previous Valentine's Day deals.
So, back to crappy English without the PR from host_c? Can't afford to pay him anymore?
@Andreix - you might want to keep some of you reply's to yourself regarding My name.
I can actually speak whatever I feel like. Last time I checked I was not in North Korea and you don't have a registered trademark for the word "host_c". You could potentially have some pretentions if I referred to you as "Andrei Tiberiu Holt".
So, feel free to get offended. It's your right or, as Apple would put it, "Sosumi".
It seems BREIN became to crazy on its 25th anniversary. Namecheap is good guys!
Useful thread. I bookmarked it for future reference when I need a provider with high integrity.
