Prelude: I develop a cloud service which could be described as dropbox meets torrents and as side effect it enables distribution of arbitrary content via magnet links. Certain amount of magnet links will be displayed on the main website (I will be able to remove them one-by-one or ban users but no more). I will not be able to avoid magnets without complete rework of overall project architecture and either way it will hurt overall performance badly, probably making service meaningless.

So my question is, what should I do, to avoid legal problems if my site in a nutshell is just a collection of magnet links?
Privacy achieved via end-user encryption, so there is almost no access restrictions on the website. And anyway will help me any?

Will hosting in particular country help me?

Magnet links are legal just as any other link. Magnet links created for the illegal distribution of copyrighted content is another matter.

There are no laws against hosting torrent trackers, torrent hubs/aggregators, or even hosted file sharing services. Just because copyrighted content can be illegally distributed via HTTP or FTP doesn't mean those technologies are illegal, just as the fact that you can send illegal contraband through the postal system doesn't make snail mail illegal.
