The UK has been doing this sort of stuff for at least a decade. For example they have the PIPCU which under the guise of copyright threatens 10 years in prison for sites not even in their jurisdiction.

And with that, they have at the least gotten registrars not located in their jurisdicrion to transfer domains

So has alot of Europe to be fair, I think it's a cultural thing honestly.

Wait, so you can host a torrent site in the USA and not get your domain ceased by the FBI?

If you follow the DMCA I don't see why not.

>>naderm+vD1
The category of civil liability for which the compliance with the DMCA notice and takedown rules offers a safe harbor, first of all, doesn’t overlap with the conduct which constitutes criminal infringement but, more importantly, even if it did the DMCA safe harbor only applies to civil and not criminal liability in the first place.

“Following the DMCA” is irrelevant to anything the FBI would be involved in.

The DMCA absolutely applies. If you follow it, which includes no induction or willfull infrigment, you never rise out of civil liability to criminal. The FBI gets involved once you're past that.
