Revoke their right to the posts and file DMCA claims against them. They fucked up making it part of the actual site, so guess what happens? The TLD itself gets shut down with the DMCA complaints against it. The hosting provider will shut it down if there are enough valid complaints, no questions asked.. give me the instructions and I would gladly do that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clove Darkwave Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Can anyone with more expertise corroborate that? I know when the storm was still active people were trying to set up a lawsuit over the user content that ultimately fizzled out without a whimper.

Clove Darkwave Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 3 minutes ago, 6tails said: That was me and it only fizzled because of people not being willing to follow through, for the most part, plus fear for Carenath's situation/level of blame in all of it. DMCAs cost nothing to file, you file them directly with the hosting provider and not a court. Carenath can be left out of it, entirely. I always wondered what happened to that. I ducked out after the whole room dissolved into chit-chat. I don't think I could be bothered to spend the time at this point, I've moved on.
