MY site is hosted in Knownsrv nl srver and I am from India


Can i just change the domain and redirect to that from old domain name?

I hate to say it but just because you aren't located in the US doesn't protect you from violation DMCA or copyright acts most countries now have copyright acts which you could be violating, I've got several of these being the hosting provider, fi you don't act expect to get sued and hit big, better just to do what they ask and remove it, or face up to what they want to charge you with.

Because there's a difference between user generated content and self published content. If you're posting up your own stuff (or ever have) might be a little different and I'd recommend closure.

Not true at all, It used to be like this but no longer is it, If you have a blog, forum, or anything related and ANYONE posts illegal content, copyright content and it violates any laws, you are at risk of the fines, It's called linking to copyright material which is now a law in several countries.

This is true, being offshore may help the server stay up a little longer but if you are doing the work in the USA they still stick a fork in you and turn you over when you're done. They use the same law they use to prosectute pedo's who upload/post on offshore sites.

Yep for sure, if they want you, they will get you, It just will depend if your a big fish in the sea or a nobody that no one can see.
