Summary: A recent UK government inquiry into the challenges faced by the film and high-end television industry has recently received submissions from major Hollywood studios advocating for KYC (know your customer) rules for hosting providers, similar to banking regulations to identify money laundering. If adopted, this would help them to identify people hosting pirated content.
The submissions are united in identifying the same solution to this problem: the UK must implement a ‘Know Your Business Customer’ regime to compel commercial entities (including online intermediaries) to establish the true identity of their business customers as a precondition for selling, and receiving payment for, digital services.
Same thought. Why should I even want to host in GB. The host prices are probably higher as well compared to other (geologically) EU countries.
I think they push this pitch all over the EU, the UK one is the only one that hit news thus far I guess. Most people host in NL/France.
I host in Iceland and they practically pay you to use their service it’s so cheap.
Recommendations for hosters? If you have a reflink I’d use if it’s a good plan.
Which provider?
