Got bored and decided to do a little leg work for my hosting provider... They've done me good so I thought I'd give them some lawsuit generated revenue :D....

Theres nothing they really can do.. well heres a similar situation..

The isp i work for had another ISP copy our entire TOS and FAQ, they even left our toll free support number on it.

We starting receiving calls from customers who use the other ISP, tech support calls, basically all we could do was bill them for the strain on our helpdesk..

You should recommend the clients switch providers!

"I'm sorry sir, I believe you're an idiot. Don't like me calling you that? What're you going to do, go to our compatition *name*!"

Pathetic - I agree.

There are a few things either HostRocket and or Ceonex (PixelBrick) could do, but it'd really depend on how serious they believe this issue is.

I was once hosted by a company (won't mention who) that had a competitor copy both their design and content. A bunch of loyal clients felt threatened by this so they sent massive ammounts of spam through e-mail and clogged up their telephone line. It was the childish thing to do, but of course, it worked in that particular case.

Ack... '666' hehe.. :dgrin:
