twintone,
2257 regulations are specific to the USA. 2257 is VERY different from child porn or copyright regulations. Other countries have cp/copyright laws in place and it is common for countries to cooperate on prosecutions for these laws. But, no other country in the world has the strict regulations and requirements of 2257.

If you are running a mature sex site and your primary point of business is outside of the USA (yet live in the USA), the DOJ cannot legally walk into a NL data center and demand that the server be unplugged for 2257 violations (they have no authority outside of their juristiction), nor can they ask that local NL authorities take action as there is no NL equivalent to these regs (and they can't say its due to child protection as a mature site is pretty obviously not cp).

All I was trying to say is that there are a lot of legit reasons to want offshore hosting. DJilla never mentioned any reason, but you assumed it was to dodge US laws...actually he did not even mention if it was for a US citizen or US corporation.

One other thing, child sexual exploitation is NOT 2257. 2257 is the administrative requirements and documentation regulations that are imposed by the DOJ, in their effort to curbe cp.

And, no, I am not a lawyer and I highly recommend everyone speaks with their local lawyer about any legal concerns. I spoke to one and got a legal opinion for my specific situation.

cheers,
Luke
