Patrick, My comment was geared toward freedom of content and should not be interpreted to mean that network abuse will be permitted. We're very conservative about how we handle DMCA requests. If we receive one it better be valid and if there is any doubt we will challenge the sender vice punish our customer. Most DMCA we receive are completely bogus.

Good to know you would keep spammers, DDoS'ers, hackers, etc. connected, even in the face of evidence provided by other ISPs, "... nor would I ever purchase transit from a company that engages in this type of behavior." -- TTFN, patrickA DMCA takedown order has the force of law. This does not mean you should take down an entire network with unrelated sites. Given He's history, I'm guessing it was a mistake. Not buying services from any network that has made a mistake would quickly leave you with exactly zero options for transit. -- TTFN, patrickOn Oct 24, 2009 9:01 AM, "William Allen Simpson" < william.allen.simpson () gmail com> wrote: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/23/chamber-of-commerce-stron_n_332087.html Hurricane Electric obeyed the Chamber's letter and shut down the spoof site. But in the process, they shut down hundreds of other sites maintained by May First / People Link, the Yes Men's direct provider (Hurricane Electric is its "upstream" provider). What's going on? Since when are we required to take down an entire customer's net for one of their subscriber's so-called infringement? Heck, it takes years to agree around here to take down a peering to an obviously criminal enterprise network.... My first inclination would be to return the request (rejected), saying it was sent to the wrong provider.
