DMCA is widely abused; it’s a knee-jerk corporate reaction, and by now most DMCA notices are probably being sent out by LLMs. Very likely, a substantial percentage are not even valid - either targeting content that the requester has no claim to, is falsely identified, a form of harassment, or targeting content which is justifiably and legally fair-use.
Hosting services don’t even try to validate these claims. You assume OP is asking for piracy reasons; we have no way of knowing, but I’m always going to side with the content providers against the gross abuse of DCMA by media corporations.
Yeah illegal stuff and Singapore should never be in the same sentence.
Either move the VPS to being hosted somewhere with no interest in enforcing copyright law (Africa, South America, some parts of Asia like Cambodia, Kazakhstan etc) or put a VPN on the VPS so your IP shows as being somewhere less regulated than SGP

You are probably better off asking on the piracy community.
This community is about self hosting not piracy. Go ask on c/piracy

He said torrenting movies and games right in the OP…
From a quick Lemmy search, I’ve seen Njalla and 1984.hosting being recommended for these kinds of uses.
