I think it is Zeeland (apologies for the bad spelling) that does not recoginise intl copyright law,

what would happen if a Gnutella proxy/servent network was set up there and in other copyright lax locations, parts of Europe Near East, Indian Sub Continent and Asia, would these be immune to snooping by Corps and Govts outside of their respective companies, if for example I setup a gnutella sevent on a dedic server with moderate bandwidth with an array or three of mass storage, and used that as a file store (yes I would have to pay for the Bwidth but I do that now anyway) what would sony, warner, UA, fox, etc and the RIAA(chortle no power in most of the world) be able to do.

Ok I am not a lawyer, and I have been awake for over 36 hours (damned caffeine diet) but I cannot immediately see a problem with it
