Maybe float your servers in international waters or boost them into orbit?

There's a decent chance bad US Internet laws will be struck down by the courts on constitutional grounds, but most other places never had protections for those freedoms to begin with.

On the other hand, if you're going to be an outlaw anyway, you might as well do it somewhere where your bribes will actually buy you some measure of protection.

If you're in space or international waters you have to due so under the auspices of some particular country and obey its laws. Otherwise you have no recourse if someone comes and takes your stuff.

OTOH, you're moving to international waters because you think its likely if you remain in most countries, someone will come and take your stuff.
