I am wondering what is likely to happen if i made a blog where i would make songs available? Not in a "here are a thousand albums to download for free", but more discussing a single song in a blog post and embedding it in a playable state (and thus also downloadable) served directly from my server (and not some spotify / soundcloud / whatever link).

The blog would not be anonymous, it would be possible to trace the server and everything directly to me. Blog would likely be obscure and not grow much. There would be no ad revenues. I am based in norway (in europe, not in the eu but in the eea in case you are not aware).

Am i looking at a couple of dmca takedown requests, legally enforceable fines, lawsuits? I dont expect to get legal advise i can use as a basis for my defense in a potential legal case in the future, but just wanted to know if you had any insights in what could happen.

My impression was that most countries have been forced to implement similar dmca laws (as per corey doctorow's account at least)? I thought that most of these things were enforceable cross-border
