How so Iguana?! All they have to do is claim whatever they want for the reason to discontimue services to ANYone. It's called freemarkey... capitalism...

And no, I am not saying that anyone knowlingly had cp here... just the fact that NO company HAS to supply services to ANYone person if they chose not to. Ask a lawyer to sue them for refusal. And he will laugh. They can use any one of a million reasons to drop someone.
how so? they can claim whatever they want. if they didn't give him the chance to take care of the situation and just cut off his bandwidth they can get sued and lose very easy. if you pay for bandwidth they can't just say bye bye on a whim. its a contract.

pretty cut and dry

lets say someone posted cp on yahoo's free host geocities. i email cogent about the cp and they cut off yahoo's bandwidth. assuming cogent is their only provider yahoo is dead. you think yahoo doesn't have a case? lets see damages for lost revenue.
