That's a good point. I definitely have too much of a US-centric view on this as I'm not very familiar with the project and was assuming at least a few of the major people involved are living in the US or a country friendly enough with the US that the RIAA has major reach. Russia is a member of a few major international copyright agreements, but I have no idea how that will play out practically speaking. I'm not sure to what extent various member countries actually cooperate. Maybe the RIAA will just give up after they get GitHub and GitLab and any other major platforms with a US presence to stop hosting it if the main people are in a country that's enough of a speed bump for them.
