Not a bad idea. I've been noodling on some sort of work-around. Incorporate in another country, put the servers there, and run the business remotely from Fresno.

Hmmmmmmm... if the FEC really wanted to, they might still be able to shut you down, even if the Canadian servers stayed up. But you know, the peer2peer (Kazaa-like or BitTorrent) model might ultimately be a better model if it came to that. Someone could come up with a blogging system that was inherently distributed ala Kazaa or BitTorrent.

If there's no critical nexus to your distribution model, they can't shut it down no matter how hard they try. (That's what shut down the original Napster. (which was find in that case, but this would be a truly legitimate & heroic use for p2p.))

In a way it'd be like Usenet, which is the original distributed p2p system, except I'm thinking of something that's tailored more toward serving up modern blog/messageboard threads.

Any VCs out there with $100 million burning a hole in your pocket, shoot me a freepmail, we'll talk. :-)
