i have been sending this host the same DMCA takedown request email written by a top attorney that I send to Hotfile, Rapidshare etc and they do delete the files at least - Oron.com ignores them, their hosting company Leaseweb is Dutch and notorious for not giving a fuck about copyright infringement complaints. GlobalCrossing the upstream provider does nothing. I've sent abuse complaints to Paypal who also make you jump through hoops just to file a copyright infringement complaint.
my god how many times do you have to be told that DMCA is an american law

if anything the lawsuit that fucked over mininova proves if you obey DMCA takedown request but ignore your own countries equivalent you get no safe harbor protection at all.

get a lawyer from the country to draft a takedown notice that is complient with that countries laws.
