Based on map, Romania is next, then Moldova.
Unsurprising since EUCD actually has provisions, which are quite similar to DMCA. This can pretty much be expected to become the status quo all across the EU, just that in some places it'll take little longer than in others. If one is looking for a heterogeneous legal landscape the EU simply isn't much of a place to be.
You will sing like a blue bird:
The relentless march of U.S. and E.U. globalism is spreading like an uninvited plague, stretching its tentacles to the farthest corners of the globe.

Surely if this happens we will move to another country with the servers, DMCA is not a crime, and everyone should have access to the internet for free, that's why we support projects like Z-Lib and Annas archives

Whatever 'ilegal' rising/popular website gets into USA attention, no matter the country, game over sooner or later.
Time to move your servers to Russia and Asia.
They will just move to non EU, European countries or switch to a more anon service or use a rotating front proxy which changes so often it would be impossible to nail down a specific host.
kind of but also megaupload was targeted hard by the US government and mega.nz is still up and a well known host of pirated content with the owner still being safe in new zealand.
might be cheaper to pay for your content then to pay the BW costs in Asia lol.
Russia Kaliningrad
Habibi come to sri lanka lol
Are there any DCs there?
Probably ISP-owned? Never heard of any though, but there must be servers there.
peeringdb shows a single one that is indeed ISP owned, might be interesting but sanctions
You can still easily pay to Russian entities and move hardware there. Shouldn't be a big problem. I think from Gdańsk there's a direct road to Kaliningrad.
I can't for reasons.
What a pussy.
I want to keep my job
Don’t explain your reason to fck ruzzian economy.
I do not care, I like money and piracy. But there are still some EU countries left that haven't died yet.
Yea, until their asn not on “notorious list”.
In Russia, DMCA does not work in a legal sense, but this does not mean that copyrighted material is not protected.
Due to the current situation, the position of law enforcement has become more lenient than it was earlier, but if the authors have a representative inside Russia, this can still be a problem for the host or distributor of illegal material.
Moldova?? Mmm... It may be in the next century. What's about Georgia?
everyone forgot China.
Nope, it is under the leash already:
