Ok, I'm getting sick of this. Seems to happening more and more frequent. I get an abuse email by the owner of one website claiming a site we host is using an image of theirs, without their consent. So they make all these threats against me, if I don't take down the offending site I'll be up for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and attorney fees. Blah blah blah.

Why are webhosts being forced to be basically the Judge and Jury, and make legal decisions based on Copyright ownership, that circumvents any proper legal process? I don't mind enforcing a legal decision, if one party has taken another party to court, but why should I the webhost be the Judge and Jury?
