Given the nature of the internet, even that's not a fix. If you set up a server, your ISP could shut you off in response to DMCA demands. I suppose you could find an off-shore server, but nothing's foolproof.


YouTube does automated dispute handling. They aren't even DMCA complaints. So they have no real burden.

Hosting with The Pirate Bay would seem like an option. They seem to have 'stop shutdowns' stopped pretty well.


Only a select group of content companies have access to that system. Everyone else has to file notices to the DMCA agent as anywhere else, and Google has to honor those notices and counternotices or it can be held itself liable for the infringement.
