Wow. Ignorance at its finest. SOPA and legislation like it are aimed at foreign websites. Evidently you haven't read the material provided above, or any material regarding such legislation (i.e. TPP). SOPA regulates the dealings between American service providers and foreign sites; most notably search engines, advertising networks, and payment processors (such as PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard). Search engines will be forced to remove listings of offending foreign sites; advertising networks will have to stop selling ads to offending sites; payment processors will have to stop processing payments from Americans for offending sites. You don't think any of this would impact European countries? In previous versions of SOPA (being discussed once more in the Trans-Pacific Partnership), DNS disruptions would become mandatory as well. Clearly, you're unaware of what ICE takedowns are. Furthermore, SOPA does not even require a complaint from a rights-holder before the US-based service providers cut off their payments, appearance in search results, or advertisements. Imagine one morning you wake up, to find your community blacklisted across the internet. You might be just outside the reach of United States judicial system but you're still under the purview of Interpol, who has been working closely with major authorities in taking down some of the internet's largest databases, such as TPB and EZTV. Please don't respond to this thread with inaccurate bullshit. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (SOPA 2.0) is a real threat, especially to WebFlake. I'm not responding with inaccurate bullshit. I'm responding with an opinion. If you don't know what that is, perhaps you shouldn't own a forum. Do you know what a forum is? It's a place where people express their opinions. Great going breaking your own rules by insulting members! If you think that the USA has the power to dictate Europe, you're delusional. They can go ahead and control their own companies, but they won't dare step up to powers such as Russia and China. If Google cooperates, we'll just use Yandex and Baidu. Who needs PayPal when we have Skrill? There are plenty of European alternatives to Amazon and eBay. No YouTube? We have Dailymotion. No Visa and Mastercard? We'll use UnionPay, thank you very much. Sorry, Americans, you cannot dictate us. Why do you think most of the torrent and file hosting sites are hosted in Central and Eastern-European countries and have been running without issues for years? If you host WebFlake with an American hosting company, then yeah, I agree, you might be threatened by the USA laws. If you want to feel safe, just move it to a Russian company.
