I know a guy if you need one. http://www.liquidcomputer.com/

He's good people and has taken heat for me on two occasions when I was threatened with lawsuits.

He currently hosts both of my websites.

Yes, the second one needs to be updated. I figure it'll get a major overhaul this winter when don't want to set foot outside.

I agree error. It is amazing how some people go straight to threats.

The service has worked ok and it has been cheap. We bought a whole year for not very much. It is just a pain for Kat to switch over. Since she will be doing it sometime ... we could find someone better and start working with them.

it would be nice to have a server with people who do not enforce "intellectual property rights"

This is what I'm targeting with the hosting business I'm doing now. You can see the list of the sites I'm currently hosting here. If you're still looking for a new hosting provider when your current contract runs out, let me know.

I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I could stand in the way of these takedown threats—I'm just a hosting provider, and have my own upstreams (the datacenter, IP block owner) who could cut the site off, too. But if I receive complaints about sites I host, I'd pass them along to the site owner, along with whatever I can do to help them fight it. Very often the complaints are completely unfounded or were automatically generated by web spiders run by "intellectual property" holders, and very often the hosting company and/or customer has no idea that they can actually fight them without getting shut down.

this was for a 2 year old forum post ... they must have extra time on their hands

Probably showed up in a Google search. A lot of companies who rely on "intellectual property" use spiders or hire people to do web searches for their content so they can see if they need to sue anyone today.

I just block these whenever I find them. Solves a lot of problems.
