movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.
If you’re a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!
Can’t they just DMCA the provider then? To request to disable your account
DMCA is only valid in the US. Those other countries obeying it are usually just doing it to avoid trouble, but there’s no real legal obligation. (But if ignored, it is pretty safe to assume that any bigger company would look into local laws and try to find a different way.) But from what I’ve heard, hosters don’t just close your account because of some DMCA. They will actually look into it and work with you to solve it.
And in the end, you could simply host it on a Raspberry Pi at your home. The ISP can’t be held responsible for the data you transfer, so they won’t just shut down your Internet connection. And if you get a strongly worded letter from some company, you can send it directly to the recycling bin.
