Unfortunately, while there is a possibility that incorporating elsewhere might prove to be better in a lawsuit down the road, the value of that possibility is vastly outweighed by the value of the substantial professional experience with US regulations/institutions we already have among the current volunteers, and the potential for obtaining US nonprofit tax-exempt status (which will be critical for fundraising and maintaining the donation model).

We absolutely should do internationalization work to open up the archive to non-English-language speakers, and as time goes on and we build up a larger body of volunteers, we may one day be able to either put together a sister organization or possibly move the archive itself in a country with more favorable regulations and legislation, but I think we would never choose to move somewhere unless we can put together a committee of volunteers who are already extensively familiar with the law in the new location.
