Since we are not on Reddit and out of the tentacles of DMCA, can we freely paste safe-to-share pirated links without any obfuscation and hints?

Client side is much simpler as we can easily mask ourselves (e.g. with VPN, tor, ssh tunnel, etc).

What about server-side? They are much more exposed as they cannot just move around like clients.

I believe the only way would be hosting on a very very permissive country. New Zealand or something.

Unless server admin set up a VPN on the instance server and swipe location every week or something.

You did mentioned Sweden & Switzerland. Are they one of those permissive countries? Not familiar with the legalities & jurisdiction myself.

Is it possible to mask the server's real location by putting VPN between the server and the domain name? The domain name would still be a sitting duck, tho, wouldn't it?

Sweden and Switzerland are very very permissive countries about what people do online, and about the domain name maybe running you own DNS but I'm not sure.
