That's pretty funny, I handle all of the DMCA requests (legit and bogus) that come in via our abuse@, and none of our nodes have been taken down over them. Maybe it's because I speak Russian and Chin

OVH isn't required to follow the DMCA, it just treats DMCA notices as normal copyright notices.

The point is about DMCA is one complaint, either about DMCA or "illegal activity", is more than enough to get a whole node taken down. If this is so important to you, learn Chinese o

Imho OVH should completly ignore DMCA requests since its an American law and OVH is a French company.

I'd question whether or not the DMCA applies in this usage case. I don't know a huge amount about it though -

You're not going to find a provider willing and if you do, it's a sign of inexperience because if they are hosted with OVH I've seen horror stories where a DMCA complaint got a whole VPS node taken of

You seem to be mischaracterizing my argument quite a bit. I'm not defending copyright violation. I'm saying you wouldn't be drawing a paycheck without a culture of copying and sharing, because that's

give money to any provider who supports the DMCA.

The internet only exists because of open standards. Issuing DMCA take down notices would make me actively not want to use a provider. I mean, you all advertise on your sites that your service is power

You wouldn't be the first. I just checked CopyScape again today and it appears there is around 5 new providers using our old design. Already had to send about 25-30 different DMCA notices over the las

I never had DMCA complaints, but I do run tight exit policy, such as 110, 443, 995, 465, 80, 8080, things like those only. My nodes need to facilitate freespeech and anonimity, not to infringe on DRM.

My policy is always answered with Don't be a dick, if your app passes the don't be a dick test, it's fine. Specific to torrents, DMCA 1 strike and you are out, rate limit your seeding and "D

Well, non-exit node is not going to cause DMCA notices. Properly configured Tor with sane bandwidth limits (4mbit/s burst speed and less than 70% monthly quota counted in gigabytes) isn't going to cau

@NickM : Yup, I'll have to think again about starting this service as i'm the only guy who'll be running it, i'll need 2 or 3 more people to help with support and dealing with DMCA's

As long as you properly handle DMCA complaints, you shouldn't have a problem.

The reason being that I dont want ton's of DMCA violating data stored on the service.. limiting the user to upload/download only his/her files will somewhat fix the issue of DMCA's I feel.

And? DMCA never says they should use their "system" to remove all material, they are only supposed to remove directly reported files.
