Bullet proof hosting is no use if your still within jurisdiction of anywhere with anti-piracy laws and they are able to identify you.
If your actually hosting any pirated files onsite then your highly liable, if your just linking then your probably less liable but I am sure the US still has laws about assisting in a crime which is essentially what your doing. What will most likely happen is that your host will receive a complaint from a copyright holder and decide that defending you is more hassle than the $5/month or whatever your paying is worth and suspend your account. Not to mention that your host will probably have something about warez in their TOS.
In short, running a warez site is more hassle than it's worth and it's also a saturated market so I'm sure at the end of the day you can think up of a better topic for your forum.
