They're choosing to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provision for ISPs (DMCA section 512, not the anticircumvention rules). 512(c) immunizes ISPs from liability for postings of their users, provide they follow "notice and takedown" procedures including the listing of a designated agent. Even if they list an agent, service providers still have the option of refusing to remove material if they get a notice of claimed copyright infringement, and of taking their chances in court. The subscriber receiving a claim of infringement can also file a counter-notification asserting that the material is legally posted. <end of snip> I think anything run in the US is going to have this problem. Canadian would be great, but legally you can't contribute from the US to their projects as I understand it.
