: DMCA in Europe - EUCD? There is a site to where I need to send a takedown notice. However, this site is hosted in Europe with an offshore hosting company that says clear in its TOS that

I assume you have tried to resolve this in a way more diplomatic than a takedown notice. If not, try that.

Beyond that:

Talk is cheap.

You know how when you go to your favorite auto-erotic asphyxiation club they have that sign that says "At Your Own Risk: We will not be held liable if you die while choking your chicken with a plastic bag over you head..." or something to that effect?

That B.S. won't hold up in court (here in the U.S.). if the law says you are liable, you are liable and very few companies can survive the onslaught of the U.S. justice system.

I am not endorsing these bully tactics, I have problems with them, but for now the fact remains. I am not familiar with the EUCD, but another way to approach this is to look into to DNS registrar, if they have U.S. ties you might be able to get more traction and keep in mind, just because the hosting company claims that doesn't mean it is true.
