Are there countries/territories where copyright law is truly unenforced? (lemmy.ml)

I'm asking this out of curiosity; I don't need to host anything that can't already be done in the West

Lots of countries have very relaxed or non-existent enforcement of torrent filesharing. That's not what I'm asking.

I'm asking about what place one could openly host every known commercial pop song and every Hollywood film without any worry about being shutdown or sued.

For a reference, according to a one-minute check of Wikipedia, the only countries which haven't ratified the Berne Convention or the TRIPS Agreement in any way are Eritrea, Kosovo, Palau and Palestine. While joining these agreements doesn't imply they're enforced, it gives an idea of how widely governments do agree to intellectual property rights.

It’s not officially legalized somehow. It’s just not strictly enforced right now. They mostly don’t pay attention. But sometimes there's more chance of paying attention if it's Russian Intellectual Property. I think that if the copyright holder complains about specific content with specific links, they will delete it especially if he is from friendly countries.

Although I may be slightly mistaken, I seem to have found that there are now some exceptions to financial payments for patent violations in relation to unfriendly countries.
