- International waters is the only place where you can be free

So basically they don't have to follow any laws after they've done that?

Well I personally think it's great if that sort of stuff becomes a thing because it means more freedom. Of course in the long run if states start to get pissed off by everything being run in international waters they will react.

Because as a big industry I want a product I can test and modify instead of blindly trusting, and as a user I want something gratis, lightweight and customizable.

Implying that doesn't already happen already ? Also let's forget about the obvious advantages for file sharing.

What advantages? It's just datacenters, the actual company is still located wherever it currently is and thus subject to laws, right?
