right, but i was wondering how you know which domains
to /whois. You would somehow need a list of domains to check
first. Hacked server maybe?
InsaneDude 05-08-2002, 06:51 PM lol
you can get warez links pretty easy, all it is is trial and error when ya do the whois
okihost 05-08-2002, 07:04 PM I get the feeling a key peice of information is missing somewhere in here.. I mean without a doubt they do support it I know if we were to get a new site called WAREZDLZ.COM :eek: I would not set it up unless I was an idiot? So can someone fill in that key peice of information?
flitcher 05-08-2002, 07:07 PM Perhaps InsaneDude is an ex-Flying-Host customer and he found the sites because they don't have high security features on the server.

That was my thought too. Maybe he has shell access on the
server and was able to view the httpd.conf or something.
InsaneDude 05-08-2002, 09:27 PM no i never had access to anything on any of their servers.. im just a wizzz
Mythril 05-08-2002, 09:32 PM who cares if they host warez thats up to them, they get into trouble It not my problem:)

I would think everyone would be interested due to the fact of when they shut shop down over there people are going to loose any money they may have pre-paid along with there site and so on.. So actually you may have nothing to loose but alot of other people do .
All im saying is, this doesn't surprise me, and im happy we left them when we did.

flying-hosts.com is owned by a company in Great Britain.
Somebody explain to me how our copyright laws apply to them ;)
If the hosting company in question finds this sort of thing illegal
then it is up them to remove those sites. Otherwise, it doesn't
look like anyone here can shut them down. If the sites are hosted
on IP space in Hong Kong for example, then there's not much
anyone can do.

Umm I really dont car what the technical routes around hosting warezz are but if that is the case I guess I was wrong. But I personally would not want to host with a company that condoned illegal software due to the fact that this only brings on more problems. Also I think they have most likely allready know about it due to the names. You do not setup domains like that without knowing what is going on.

. . . . . . The company may be based elsewhere; but the servers the above mentioned sites are on are in the U.S.
InsaneDude 05-08-2002, 10:49 PM warezoracle.com
they have flying-host banners
they all go thru "TheCoolHost" who infact goes thru ardentcomm with his co-lo servers.. And flying-host is ran by a 17 year old who lives in Canada..
The End =)
pgrote 05-08-2002, 10:53 PM Do not attempt to go to any of those sites.
They attempt to load Javascript viruses/trojan horses on your machine.
Thank you McAffee.

You need to edit your post
nuthin 05-08-2002, 11:10 PM i don't know the legality of hosting a warez site, But by looking at just warezoracle it seems just to be a directory/portal/links page to other warez sites. I don't think they actually host the file's so i dealt there is anything illegal that can become of it.
The places that host the actual pirated software etc, Would be the ones that will be liable for whatever copyrighted materials they are offering.

Not that I doubt you, or believe you for that matter, but do you have any proof to back this claim or is it just bull?
Techark 05-08-2002, 11:26 PM as they have just made an offer to me for a dedicated server for a large client of mine.
Maybe I better go with rackshack after all.
Geeezzz the things you find out here ehh??

Unless they have auto-setup and don't really check the actual domains themselves. These domains might have slipped through the cracks so to speak.

I am totally shocked :buck: :D
I went to a warez site about 12mths ago just out of curiousity and boy, I felt like I needed to take a long hot shower after that!!! :eek: :eek:
It's like a different universe in those parts of the net. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't base your decision off of some kid in this forum who
has yet to prove anything he says. Also it was pointed out that
the sites which are hosted by this company don't actually have
any warez content on them, but are simply links to other warez
sites. To the best of my knowledge having a link to a warez site
isn't illegal.
MrLister 05-09-2002, 12:24 AM InsaneDude: May I just ask one question. Out of thousands maybe millions of sites you did a trial and error on them all so you can prove that this host allows that? Call me crazy but I think that it's eighter that you got extremly lucky and should have bought a lot of lottery tickets that day or that there's more information you're not publicizing.
flyinghosts 05-09-2002, 02:53 AM Flying Hosts will only host legal content. If we recieve a complaint that content we host is illegal or we find the content to be illegal in any checks we do a site is simply closed down [usually with due warning however in some cases not]. We have exercised this right before over client accounts.
However we have yet to see any sites that are operating illegally. The sites mentioned will be douible-checked however in the past these have only operated as 'fake' warez sites hosting no illegal and linking to no illegal content.
To re-iterate Flying Hosts DOES NOT allow users to link to illegal 'Direct Downloads' or host it. We do not "Get around Warez laws", we abide by the law.
Moreover we believe this post to have come from diusgruntled client or one of his friends whose account we acted against last night. Note this was his first post...
Having read some of the earlier posts its beginning to make me smile. I can see more fully it does almost look wholly as though this user is in a vendetta against us for action we took agaisnt him. Moreover we have no emplyees or people working for us in Canada, although we do have some Resellers in Canada.
Also just for note we have 17 people working for the company [18 next month hopefully when we add an extra UNIX Engineer to Tech Support;)] not a "17 year old".

GAMPort 05-09-2002, 05:59 AM Just wanted to point out that both in Denmark and Sweden people have been ordered to pay fines because they linked to illegal sites (warez and MP3). This might not have happened in all countries yet but it will most likely sooner or later.

OT: When was this, and are there any articles regarding this issue? I can't remember neither reading nor hearing about it anywhere. Just curious.
Sorry for breaking out of topic everyone. :blush:
Samuel 05-09-2002, 11:44 AM This thread, and only this thread has some popup code recognized by popup killer.
The browser is closed by popup killer whenever it is viewed. Havnet seen it on any other WHT page yet.
GAMPort 05-09-2002, 12:24 PM elin: Sorry but I dont' know of any online articles at this time. I believe the Danish case happened 1½ years ago and the Swedish ne was just after or just before it.

Ah, ok, thanks. I'll rummage through Computer Sweden's archives to see if I can find anything. I'm starting to believe I'm suffering from selective memory loss. :D
Chicken 05-09-2002, 06:44 PM Hosting URLs with the word 'warez' in them isn't necessarily 'supporting' warez. To me, that would be distributing software themselves or allowing sites that distribute software to remina on the servers despite reports.
If you find either of these things to be true, then yes, I suppose you could say they support warez. Otherwise, please see below:
