"there is still the question of wether or not he is a content thief , he says he has proof, not saying it's for the images in question (we still don't know what they are and who is saying the own them). "
He never sent us anything to show the photos on the site were licensed. The complainant did. WE HAVE A BACKUP OF HIS SITES AND HE IS WELCOME TO IT! The client simply did not reply to our repeated requests for proof of ownership, until the sites were suspended. Again, we verified that the complainant's accusations were indeed true, and linkdatabase.com failed to show us, or even reply to us when we asked repeatedly for proof of ownership.

Webair may be a good host i'm not doubting that, but thier business ethics are being questioned. i think they have the right to stand up for themselves and rightfully should try to protect themselves. but there does seem to be an issue here the guy lost all of his work and wants some answers (not to mention his backup) he should have the right to atleast the answers.
WE HAVE A BACK UP AND HE IS WELCOME TO IT!
Webair would never cut a client A VALUED CLIENT AT THAT, unless the circumstances were overwhelmingly against him. Oliver Rodela left us no choice by serving stolen content. If the content was not stolen, he should have faxed, e-mail, called something in to verify proof of ownership. If he could fax that in today I'd give him free hosting for life =) I believe if he rightfully purchased the content we would not be having this conversation.
I am not "trying to dog" an competition, I don't even work fulltime for quik-host, I'm just helping oscer out with sales and some tech support. I didn't say anything bad about webair, i really didn't even have any knowledge of them until you refered someone to them on another thread. Regardless i still think this thread is interesting and as an adult webmaster i would like to know whats going on when there are problems poping up in the industry.
As do I, I am a webmaster myself, and we started Webair because we had so many problems with other hosts! We gave him every chance to provide proof of ownership, I'll give him another chance...fax the licensing info to 516.568.0867 e-mail
[email protected] call 1.866.WEBAIR1 show me something! It's a shame that he has stolen content, an entire site mind you, brought to our attention of the rightful owner, and we are being hammered for it!
