First of all, let me clear something, I do not look for any illegal solution (like, for example, Germany based host that promises to ignore DMCA).

I'm looking for the real offshore linux VPS provider. What I mean by "real offshore" is that local law and\or datacenter terms should be warez linking friendly and allow porn related content (obviously 18+).
What I have experienced so far is all self proclaimed offshore hosters forward DMCA letters to me and asking to deal with that. But really guys, my current 100% white onshore USA based hoster does the same thing, so there is nothing offshor'ish about forwarding DMCA emails. I need the hoster who would ignore any takedown letters.

Price, VPS spec and country doesn't really matter as long as VPS has reasonable response time from US and EU, close to 100% uptime and all takedown notices go straight to trash.

I know that Russia and Ukraine has nice laws for warez linking, but those countries don't allow porn materials (or at least host companies I contacted).

Updated June 30:
Let me quote terms of one huge russian hoster: "We won’t accept your claim/complaint about violation of copyright and associated rights unless made in writing and delivered to us by registered mail. The claim should be accompanied by certified copies of documents proving the applicant copyright." That's what im talking about! And of course I am willing to comply with such serious complain in regard of my site, but that's the thing, there wont be any complaints of this kind.

So if there is any other hosting provider with similar terms, that allow porn related content, I will be the most happy webmaster in the world

P.S.
Yes, I know, I know, it's always better to comply with DMCA and delete stuff, but that's not the point of the thread:)

But they do they sell directly ? You need to contact a reseller right? And they are expensive.
@Teaparty,
I hope your thread will help me too. Best of luck.
 
@funxlab
yes they do sell directly and you can get a very nice quotes if you can contact them.

XSLTel,
Thanks, I will contact ecatel, tho Im bit skeptical that you can get away with ignoring DMCA in Netherlands.

accyuklad,
Thanks, but motionite clearly stated that they don't ignore DMCA, except for their ukranian nodes and those don't allow porn content.

freecbc3,
Yea, you can get dmca friendly host that don't allow porn (sigh, you can host cracked soft on the server, but not the pictures of naked women of legal age) or porn loyal host that ask you to comply with dmca, but nobody can provide both:(
 
@teaparty,
Yup, we do not ignore DMCAs. But honestly, we hardly ever received DMCAs from the datacenter.

No provider in the world can ignore/neglect DMCA. If they do, they might be either owned by Mafia or some big underground person that can tackle the police/laws.
 
@BlaZe
Yes I understand that. But all I want is the service similar to Russian or Ukranian hosters who don't care about european and american takedown emails and require copyright holders to provide real documents via real post and preferably with local representative and to prove that the website violates local copyright law, not some american acts.

Of course top dogs like microsoft, adobe, warner, sony etc have their copyrights reserved even in Russia\Ukrain etc and will have no problem to make such takedown letters and hoster will ask the client to comply, that is totally ok. What I am looking for is the hoster that ignore all those spam DMCA emails that being sent in masses. Basically, your ukranian nodes are perfect example of such service, but they don't allow porn content.

Well, if you are willing to remove a few threads when someone serious complains you will be fine with most WJ hosts(Netherlands, Ukraine etc).

Define serious:) I'm not fighting with big corps, all complains are from subscription based adult websites and a few adult dvd producers. Thing is that western hosters are freaking out just because email subject has dmca in it, it doesn't matter for them is email bogus or not, is the dude that send it is even real copyright holder represent or an evil competitor trying to shut the site down.

Go for balticservers.com They do forward the dmcas but they don't suspend the server due to that.

My current onshore USA hoster does same thing too. As long as its 1-2 emails per week and from small unknown companies sure they all can close their eyes, but when you start getting them on regular bases, the hoster get upset with you pretty fast. I need a hoster that explicitly states that all the spam US DMCA emails are ignored and only real ones with valid documents are processed (like the Russian hoster from my post above)
 
Hello,
You want to ignore DMCA, I understand. But you also want first-class hardware and datacenter features? You won't find it in Russia/Ukraine. At least; you can't compare it with Netherlands datacenter.

However hosting in Ecatel should be fine, most complains aren't even legal so they can be ignored. If there is something serious then just delete the requested content and repost it later on. This is a good and working technique. Most of our clients use this.

Note that Ecatel does have some negative points, about hosting the most spam related content I assure you they have a good network.

Regards,
l0cal
