Iceland passed the International Modern Media Initiative in 2010, creating what legal scholars describe as the world's strongest framework for protecting publishers, sources, and infrastructure operators. The IMMI combines the strongest elements of press freedom laws from multiple countries into a single comprehensive statute.
Under Icelandic law, hosting providers have no obligation to respond to DMCA requests from foreign jurisdictions. The country is not a signatory to US copyright treaties in any way that would make DMCA enforcement binding on Icelandic operators. This gives AnubizHost's Icelandic infrastructure an unusually strong legal foundation.
Iceland is also outside the EU (it is an EEA member but not EU), which means EU data retention directives apply differently. Combined with the country's tradition of governmental transparency and press protection, Iceland provides a hosting environment that is difficult to match anywhere in Europe.
