DMCA-resilient hosting
Short definition
Hosting located in jurisdictions where U.S. DMCA process has no legal force; substantive complaints are evaluated under local law instead.
DMCA-resilient hosting (sometimes called 'DMCA-ignored', though that phrasing can mislead) is hosting located in a jurisdiction outside the territorial scope of the U.S. DMCA. The host doesn't 'ignore' takedown notices — it evaluates them under the host jurisdiction's framework, which is typically narrower and more substantive than DMCA's notice-and-takedown.
DMCA-resilient is NOT the same as 'bulletproof'. The host still operates under local law: court orders are honoured, AUP-prohibited content (CSAM, malware C2, fraud) is acted upon, and substantiated complaints from local counsel are taken seriously. What's filtered out is the high-volume bot-driven DMCA noise that targets fair-use content, parody, criticism, archives, and other legitimate speech. SilentHosts operates 8 DMCA-resilient jurisdictions.
