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?

>>Kaiser+PC1
If you follow the DMCA I don't see why not.

>>naderm+vD1
Because the DMCA’s safe-harbor provisions only apply to sites that adhere to its requirements. Sites whose primary purpose is to host torrent files or infohashes arguably don’t qualify.

If the DMCA allowed US operators to host torrent catalogs openly, there’d be a plethora of them.

The US does allow it. No one has tried it without trying to induce cipyright infrigment or following the DMCA properly.

Also its hard and extremely expensive to defend yourself to prove it in a niche specifically where people are looking not to pay making it harder to montize to defend properly.

Why do you think that is?

>>otterl+pt3
Because this is the only relevant case I can find or remember. "The MPAA had presented evidence showing that the majority of content linked to on IsoHunt was infringing content, that the search engine was tuned to assist users in finding infringing works, and that Fung himself had made remarks suggesting the purpose of the site was to allow users to download infringing content."

My question was "why do you think torrent sites in the USA that adhere to safe-harbor requirements don't exist?"

>>otterl+x57
Simple, because I haven't launched one yet, but may get there sooner or later; First had to deal with another novel issue of copyright first.
