What are the most favorable jurisdictions to run seeding out of, mitigating risk of copyright related reporting and account closure (assuming virtual compute)?

Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Romania, Vietnam, Africa. Often anywhere near those too

Turkey?

I think Turkey would be fine but I don't know or have anything to base it off of

How about favorable places given an anonymous virtual credit card that you bought on a spamming-services forum? (As in, if you don't have to worry about being identified, and it's just a question of wanting the seedbox itself to be unlikely to get taken down)

A lot of english-advertising hosts from the regions in my comment are going to advertise DMCA-ignore, freedom of speech, and/or privacy. And you basically can't go wrong with any of them. Seedbox-as-a-service providers specifically are going to be generally be fine too although many of those are hosted in Netherlands which is slowly becoming less copyright-infringement -friendly.

One specific host I'll mention is vsys.host (UA) (which anna's archive uses too) but they're not going to be the cheapest option.

Probably Sweden.

Edit: I knew Sweden is a piracy hub but I was under the wrong impression regarding how Sweden legally sees piracy. Yes this is where TPB was raided, but also this is where TPB launched, and there seems to be a certain ideology in Sweden that propels sites like TPB. Either way, please stay safe online.
