This should hold true (no, you can't quote me on that) in any country 
that pratice justice on a "not guilty until otherwise proved" basis. 
This also includes the United States. However I would not operate a tor 
server in the United States myself due to the fact that people in the 
United States have a tradition of sueing each other for all kinds of 
strange stuff (like drying dogs in the microwave or burning youself on 
hot coffee). And believe it or not these people have also won the case 
in court.
