Sure but that's a much more complicated (and expensive) thing to set up.

You said earlier "the tubes could just roll their hosting offshore", as if that was all that was needed to avoid 2257......a U.S. based webmaster is subject to U.S. laws regardless of where the webserver is. Hosting your site in Amsterdam doesn't exempt you from the law.

That's the point barefootsies was making and now you're arguing something totally different. Just admit you were wrong and oversimplified it and move on.
