    Didn't read the entire thread...

    Firstly HF is based out of Hong Kong, so check if the site is violating local HK laws. Your case wont hold good if its not.

    It doesn't matter where the site is if it is a US company as the company itself would still be bound by US copyright law, you can go after the US branch/location all you want, even if it IS just a relative, employee, etc. If that relative/employee finds it to be more trouble than it is worth then they may simply stop their "front" of being a US company.

    None of the site you mentioned is hosted within our network. Pornbb.org is hosted on our IP that was leased to another ISP.

    We'll try to take the IP space back.

All of your support emails (including abuse@hostfresh.com) bounce. We have left a number of messages at 1-888-83FRESH to which nobody ever answers let alone return. We have also been in contact with your upstream transit provider, Intercage.com.

    You are hosting a few websites we'd like to speak with you about, the main one being pornbb.org. We represent some of the largest producers of online adult content on the internet with clients such as nastydollars.com, brazzers.com and bangbros.com. I highly recommend you contact me via email or by phone as as soon as possible. Thank you.

    Shouldn't you make sure what they're doing is illegal before shutting down a customer?
    As in, you shouldn't do anything until you get a court order to do so?

    Actually, pornbb.org has begun to address our Dmca requests several months after we sent them. It would seem word has been spread regarding this thread because they are cooperating now. In regards to who we work for, they no longer have an issue with them. I can't say the same for the other thousands of production companies out there being infringed upon.

    Wow where will this thread take us next. It's amazing what assumption people make by doing a simple google search.

    First I would suggest that if you have a DCMA complaint send it to the hosting party in the form of abuse@xxx.com. If you don't get a response maybe phone to see if it was received. I know this is a novel concept but we actually try to help people with any complaint someone might have. We can't give information through the phone but certainly can check if the DCMA came in.

    Secondly I am sorry but there is no way someone here will go to the post office just to pick up a piece of mail. Ohh and I think the post office wanted money for this also. Use UPS / Fedex it's a little more practical. A e-mail is just as good.

    Lastly is this the Eric that makes money from PornBB being up? This is the Eric that has been caught posting forum messages "requesting" certain content so that he can then send in a DCMA request? Apparently one can make quite a bit of money convincing companies that one will be a watchdog and send out DCMA's. But I find it a conflict of interest when the watchdog is requesting certain content for his benefit. From what I have been told is that when the message came up of shutting down the IP address, Eric sent a nice message requesting not to shut it down and that all parties are working together. I honestly don't care either way or represent HostFresh it's just funny to think of the DCMA party doing all this simply for a monetary gain.

    Thanks!

    If you would've actually read the posts in this thread, you'll see that I did send them only to have abuse@intercage.com bounce.

    I've talked to someone there on numerous occassions which has led to no resolution whatsoever. By the way, I know a certain in-house attorney who would really like to get in touch with someone there at Intercage. It seems he's having trouble as well.

    All our correspondence has been sent certified. All returned as unclaimed. You're mistaken as certified mail is prepaid and all you do is sign for it. I'm sure if you guys had legal counsel you'd know this, however you do not which was confirmed by someone at Intercage.

    This statement couldn't be further from the truth and I would love nothing more then this illegal file-sharing forum to be taken offline. My correspondence indicated that we don't want to disrupt anyone's operation and that we only want our client's copywritten content taken down. You have taken me out of context and be VERY careful about what you accuse me of "Goose". I won't tolerate your slander..or is it libel? I'll have my lawyer check.

    Well it should not bounce and we can test it to make sure.

    I believe I spoke to you once, I haven't asked any of the technicians to see if they have spoken with you. But I am pretty certain that numerous would be a wrongful statement.

    Look I am not trying to get you all excited. Simply trying to show you the way to make sure your DCMA's are taken care of. If your going to send something send it Fedex or UPS it can require a signature also. But as I mentioned a e-mail followed by a phone call will save you a ton of time.

    I am not a representative of PornBB but it's a forum with links to files which are not on the server. There are zero files being distributed from the server.

    Lastly we are a dedicated server provider not a law firm. What in the world would we need a legal counsel for? And regarding certain remarks it was you who categorized the company as being "shady". I did not even put you as being the Eric in question.

    My job is also to make sure that our clients do not abuse our network. There was absolutely no need to characterize us in a negative manner or to imply opinions on a public forum.

    If you have any DCMA's please bring them to my attention and I certain they will be dealt with.

    Thanks!

    This thread is awesome. Eric's a smart guy. For him to have a job, there needs to be illegal content on the internet. If there is no illegal content, then he won't get paid.

    Keep the site operating but continue to monitor for content violation is a good business model.

    Though, I would really like to see how far Eric gets trying to send DMCA notices to Russian, Vietnamese, etc... data centers.

    None of their staff or servers or IP blocks are in the United States. You wont even a close chance of a fair trial so long they are in Hong Kong.

    As long as the website you have in question is hosted in Hong Kong, they do NOT have to take any action regardless of where they are located or incorporated. If they step foot on US shores, then they could be held liable, but until then... keep praying

    I hope we can now stop suggest OP and other WHT members from sending DMCA and take down notices to HF, and other organizations operating outside the US.
