Copyright law is highly harmonized in most countries, and has been for a very long time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention
I mean you could run it from places that don't really respect copyright laws but that means no EU etc.

Adding on to the comment about the Berne Convention: Threats of legal action are sometimes meant to intimidate and inconvenience. It doesn't really matter if they have legal standing or not. The fear of having to defend yourself in court (or a service provider deciding the don't want the risk and dropping you) is sometimes enough. These letters are super cheap to draft and send so they are sometimes scatter shot.
It's not copyright, they're claiming x and itter are trademark infringement and that scraping is hacking in Texas. That's legally bullshit even in the US, but SpaceX lawyers not even trying is it's own kind of intimidation.
Ultimately the richest guy in the history of civilization is mad at you, he's a neo-Nazi international pedophile ring conspirator dissociated on ketamine that thinks he's in the Matrix, he has a personal private army deputized as federal Marshalls by the US president, and he owns an intercontinental ballistic missile system that can fire a 10 ton tungsten rod into your country's capitol from orbit and decapitate your entire government. That's not a legal problem it's a mutually assured destruction problem.

Who is on Ketamine?
Leaving aside the scifi conspiracy crap, (And I'm holding out hope you're just kidding) "Rods from God" are almost as stupid as space lasers. Every Newton of energy released by a kinetic weapon must fist be stored as potential energy, i.e. lifting 10 tons into orbit.
But you can't just do it once. You'd need several projectiles for each launch platform, and you'd need multiple platforms to credibly threaten the whole earth, and more still if you don't want to wait hours for the launch platform to orbit over your target.
Ballistic nuclear weapons are superior in every concealable way and that's why we built those instead of scifi fever-dreams and star wars.
Its because the US strongarmed its "allies" into being clients of their software and copyright laws. I wish Europe would tell them where to stick it so we can have a short, sharp break from US bigtech and their terrorist government.
