So, what are the consequences if they said fuck it and hosted this in Russia and China? The owners can still be sued, but what if they transferred ownership to an anonymous corporate entity registered in the cayman islands or some shit?
When will libre people understand that you can’t win against these assholes by going high when they go low?
tbf they should have thought about that before openly defying the law and hosting petabytes of copyrighted content lol. internet archive is a great resource but it baffles me they actually thought they would be allowed to operate in the open with impunity
AFAIK Chinese piracy is a different culture, its mostly done on private/secret forums not with the same public torrent/archive methods we use.
Also I’m confident hosting a website inside China is no simple matter given the regulations, certainly it would be trivial for authorities to notice the foreign traffic.
Which leads to the final point, the firewall is also to prevent exactly this.
The CPC isn’t going to act on a shared principle of fuck the west here, on the contrary they’d see hosting western piracy content as a potential threat given it bypasses the firewall.

Russia yeah, but are there many piracy sites hosted in China or something? Are they similarly lenient?
