I'm asking this out of curiosity; I don't need to host anything that can't already be done in the West


Lots of countries have very relaxed or non-existent enforcement of torrent filesharing. That's not what I'm asking.

I'm asking about what place one could openly host every known commercial pop song and every Hollywood film without any worry about being shutdown or sued.

For a reference, according to a one-minute check of Wikipedia, the only countries which haven't ratified the Berne Convention or the TRIPS Agreement in any way are Eritrea, Kosovo, Palau and Palestine. While joining these agreements doesn't imply they're enforced, it gives an idea of how widely governments do agree to intellectual property rights.

~~how much would it cost to launch an independent server into orbit?~~

Other Brazilian here: Although they don't care much about piracy at individual level, there were local servers seized and from time to time they take down some locally hosted sites, so although it's safe for you to download and even p2p share stuff, you can get unlucky hosting - if it's near elections and some politician needs to pretend he is having the police working.
