See my post here on how to get $7.75 domain names without hassle:

EDIT: Here's a link that will give me about 70 cents of your first order (I've been recommending them here for almost a year, so I'm curious to see if people will sign up, etc.) http://www.dynadot.com/?s7h8k6z57v36m8e

I love Joker personally. I can't speak to their resistance to corporate pressure, but they've been a great company to deal with.

Gandi.net ... Not the cheapest, but reliable as hell and not based out of the US.

People often suggest this sort of thing as if it was some sort of magical protection. If you're running something that's illegal in the US and are a resident in the US, it doesn't matter one bit for the lawsuit (other than it being more annoying to collect evidence) if the servers are in another country.

the whole point is to avoid ever exposing yourself as a US resident

you use a whois proxying service to block your ID. and when company C tries to strongarm the ISP over which they have no jurisdiction, they get told to bugger off.

I can't imagine that working when moving an existing site as suggested.
