  • Sorry to say, but if that's your business proposal, then you're getting your MBA courses wrong 😫 not due to your proposal being clearly illegal, but because it has no monetization (and actually it's not business proposal per se, but charity proposal).

    And regarding your question, while copyright infrigement is illegal worldwide, there's already a working solution which is used by major pirate resourses. And this solution is hosting copyrighed material on servers which are located on jurisdictions which are hostile towards countries where content owners and you personally live. This means if you need to host popular US/EU content, here's ISPs from China, Russia, Iran, Belarus and so on for your help. For sure, none of them would anyhow care of your privacy, freedom of speech and so on, but what's more important, none of them would also care about any EU/US issued copyright infrigement complaint about your server if it's not backed by local authorities. Needless to say, both your server and ISP HQ should both be placed in such country (server in Moscow won't save you from anything if you rent it from firm with main office in London).


  • Promotion of new public pirate resourses always depends on catching traffic from search engines and never on reddit posts. This actually means that promotion of public tracker is by far easier than promoting a gatewalled one. Also this means that active public tracker would have constant influx of new users who don't know about rutracker, 1337x and so on.

    By the way, promoting useful public pirate resourses is always a good thing, so there is no point in treating complaints about this with understanding or respect.







  • Why the hell this comment has no upvotes? It's the only reasonable advice in entire thread. If you wanna run piracy related project you need special paid hosting, any free hosting would close your account after the first copyright abuse complaint. I have my own very small torrent tracker as pet project that i happily host at vdsina service and their terms clearly says that they would ignore any copyright complaint which is not backed by Russian police/court (meaning all DMCAs are going directly to recycle bin). There's plenty of alternatives which offer the same, some of them would also allow you to pay their services in cryptocurrency and you won't have to use your credit card.
