Migration?

[tinyjo]

Dear people who've been paying more attention than me,

In the light of the SOPA and PIPA legislation going through US legislatures, should I be worried about hosting my data on US sites? These seem like blanket ban type things - will LJ or DW be knocked off air if they're passed?

I suspect that DW at least would consider moving hosting outside the US if it's feasible (and I don't know what LJ would do--moving the data to Russia doesn't seem like an appealing step for them, but I'm out of the loop on LJ management).

My concern is, should the SOPA/PIPA bills get passed, when the US starts negotiating treaties with other countries to cooperate, as with the Berne Convention.

Yeah, that might be the most practical solution, although, as you say, who knows where will be safe long term.
