Feds Seized Hip-Hop Site for a Year, Waiting for Proof of Infringement

Re:Feds Seized Hip-Hop Site for a Year, Waiting for Proof of... by c0mpute on Friday May 04, 2012 @12:49PM (#3929254)

I am beginning to wonder if this is a sign of things where a startup/product dev has to start thinking of the following:

- Go to a p2p model where the app/service is distributed without a need to depend on a domain?

- Really start looking at countries/places to partner with someone to register to get away from a cancer that FBI is becoming?

Seriously, this kind of thing is what puts a muddy cloud on USA as a viable option. I know asian countries aren't a walk in the park (I am an India btw, so know the bureaucracy in India), but maybe a country in Europe can become a shinning beacon for internet liberties?? I almost feel the intelligentsia of USA want a place established with modern principles :)

It's all about the vps services now. I have a decent one, in a country with almost no threat of being taken down :)

I'm using bytesized hosting here: https://bytesized-hosting.com/

My server is located in Luxembourg.

True! But where are these other reliable ones? AT least which country? I still have a feel we should find a model to distribute our risks.

A new model for secure servers would be amazing. I wish that there was something like bittorrent for servers. No centralized server, instead clients grab data from each other. Some form of security to ensure the data is correct. Possible to find other users in this form, but no way to take the server down.

Quoting this from the other comment I made above:

Sounds like content-centric networking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-centric_networking

It's currently a research topic.

Ah! that's awesome, I've been thinking about this idea for years. I'm so glad that this is being worked on.
