Well, Bulgaria isn't bad. I think is a good place to be in. We made this choice to maintain our words about freedom of speech, privacy.
For sure, we are looking for more things to come.

We are always open to hear feedback, as we said before. What you think about Bulgaria? What is the cons and the pros? We would like to hear from you and know why. Of course if you wish.

Well, Bulgaria at least doesn't make a part of "five eyes". We consider a good country to be.
Maybe @treesmokah can give you some inputs about that.

NOTE: We have basic ddos protection in this location, soon we will upgrade.

I'm pretty sure he was just joking, Yeti being Yeti

Bulgaria is generally a comfortable country to host stuff in, great connectivity, many datacenters and for the most part lax regulations. Ignoring DMCA is still fine there, there were some "changes" in recent years but at the end of the day it didn't do much, it only applies to individuals living in Bulgaria and not people hosting there. RARBG closure was related to it, however it was because their staff was from Bulgaria, their infrastructure was hosted in Bosnia from what I remember.

Like in many European countries, USA has little to say in terms what can be hosted there.

Hmm... I am starting to connect some dots. A dedicated server from an offer currently on LES front page configured as seedbox storage + a VPS of Alexhost which ignores DMCA configured as VPN for the seedbox, might turn out to be a good investment for some adult entertainment. These are 2 great offers active at the same time.

That would be pretty slow. Many dedi providers will not care about DMCA from torrents.

The thing is Bulgaria is EU and everything which applies to other European countries applies to Bulgaria as well in terms of law and freedom so, i'm afraid you'd have to dig deeper for freedom of speech and privacy.

Nah, not really. It all depends on what "profile" you operate on, different countries enforce their laws at different "scale" and for different things. Currently the biggest threat to freedom of speech is not the Govt, but transit operators playing Internet moderators. You don't have to be shut down by the Govt or the hosting provider, but for example RETN will tell you to move your shit elsewhere or they are going to nullroute your subnet.
Something being "in law" doesn't mean its being enforced. Laws aren't as important as enforcement of them, is all I can say

Hosting providers operate in a different "scheme" and are given legal responsibility protection, its not their job to enforce laws when not communicated through correct channels. As long as the Govt doesn't enforce their shit, nobody else will.

This is the reason why "exotic" countries are so attractive, they often have similar laws to more "developed" countries, but they simply aren't being enforced. Then there is geopolitical aspect, even if one country enforces laws for doing something, as long as you don't do it to "your own people", you are good to go. Even Russia has copyright laws, but as long as you don't cross your lines with local trademark holders, nobody will give a shit.

Every country can be a "heaven" to your type of hosted content, it always depends on what it is and who it may piss off. Offshore providers are usually a great way to protect yourself from USA interference in your operations, but if you dig deeper you can find providers suitable for "pissing off" more states. Laws pushed by European Union (Brussels) are rarely respected by member states, especially in Eastern Europe. We fought Nazism, we fought communism and we will fight EU overreach in our people business and quality of life. Every independent nation should be only regulated by itself, no other foreign agency, organization or "union" should be able to "make the rules".

I'm familiar with how Govt requests and seizures are being handled by datacenters and hosting providers having quite a few "insiders" and knowledge from going through countless court orders, legal letters and lawsuits, and even in the Netherlands, no fucks are given about DMCA/IPTV etc. If only you knew how Ecatel/DataOne still operates, they are doing better than ever, it involves lots of shell companies that get sued by copyright holders and are being dissolved shortly after, and that's it lmao. Their IX and transit ports are congested every big football event
There wasn't any provider that had to hand over servers used for "copyright" shit, Globe datacenter bust some time ago was only because one of the owners ran IPTV service himself, he didn't only host other's.
As I said, as long as you don't operate or officially facilitate "illegal" (advertising bulletproof etc) content, you are an unrelated 3rd party and pretty much only have to listen to court orders. Its entirely legal in many countries to ignore most of common "abuse" reports, hosts usually solve them under good will not because they are required by Law.

Don't rely what you see in the news, read on "SEO" articles or see on forums coming from people who have no idea what they are talking about. Always do your own research, it especially goes to operators of services that may "piss someone off". Nothing is A and B, its not that simple.

Then don't join, amirite? You're not held at gunpoint to join the EU, IIRC, unlike after WWII.

This is not something for me to decide, I obviously don't have much to say about whether we stay in EU or not. We have joined EU to recover from communism, which worked out, and now there is not much use for EU, all they do right now is require us to accept some retarded laws which we don't and get fined for it.

There is a reason why Poland never had any kind of a terrorist attack and is considered the safest country in EU. Its because we oppose European Union laws, particularly regarding immigration.

He would change his opinion and start cursing the first moment he would realize that his favorite online store doesn't accept Polish złoty or doesn't even ship to his country, while all the other shipments from neighboring countries end up at customs for days with additional VAT payment requests.
Little details that make our lives more comfortable in every aspect.

Mostly spoiled people who curse so much about the EU have very short memories of how it was before they were in the EU or idealize those times. He's from Poland, a country that benefited drastically from joining the EU. He should know this better unless he is too young to remember how poor the infrastructure was before 2004, the low economy and living standards, and the hours spent waiting in line at borders, etc.
Not to mention all travel limitations, sales across borders, etc., that are easier than ever, also thanks to the EU.

I am not saying that it's ideal. There's still a long way to go (for the whole EU), but the country has improved in almost every aspect drastically in the last 20 years.
Things that make our lives more comfortable and that we now take for granted as part of the EU couldn't be taken for granted just 20-25 years ago.

@treesmokah said: There is a reason why Poland never had any kind of a terrorist attack and is considered the safest country in EU.

But it's not, right?
I mean, I can imagine Poland is pretty safe, but there are some 15 or so countries, including mine (where nothing happens), that rank better. It's not like Poland is safer than lets say some Czech Republic, Finland, Austria, Slovenia or Croatia.

But anyways, lets not derail the thread. I get you don't agree with my point of view, and you can say whatever you like. But let's not drag this thread with us.
The entire "explanation" of law enforcing was written while I was high as fuck, and If I knew it would cause such disagreements, I wouldn't post it. I don't have time or will to argue with people anymore for the sport.

Mumbly · June 4

So you assume I can't find 20 random urls about murders that include firearm commited in Poland?

Bratislava isn't even in Slovenia
I can comment more when I come home

And yes each of those European countries + 10 others or so ranks statistically higher (less crime per capita) on safety chart than Poland. And that's not even knock on Poland which I believe is very safe compared to the big part of the world.

Ryanair limitation . I still remember prohibitive expensive tickets for the Iberia airline. Now It IS a joke . Better now for sure

And yes, it's easier to travel through Europe than ever. I visit 5-6 different countries yearly and I don't even have a passport anymore because it's an unnecessary expense.
And although the present isn't perfect and people have their own struggles in life, the past wasn't easier, people are just unrealistically nostalgic.

Hmm, in Yugoslavia, standard and most other metrics were way better during socialism. In countries under constant US/“EU” threats and pressures - the measurable stuff was still a bit better with socialism (subjectiveness and brainwashing is what pro-capitalists are guilty of).

As far as I can see, EU is about control.
The “free travel” and similar stuff are just bread crumbs (thrown to avoid riots), not the main point.

An OK more in-depth analysis, if slightly flawed:
