I don't think any of the leasweb guys wants to put their business reputation
on the line for this forum. Leaseweb is a pretty big hosting provider in NL.
They really have their own network, loads of mainstream customers etc, etc.
I'm quite sure that if I go there and talk to them (I know them) and let them
know that if they pursue they will get hurt that they will come to reason.
I mentioned earlier they also have a hosting suite in the datacenter where I
have my office. Everybody knows eachother and rumours like them having
a forum that links to copyrighted material will do them no good.
Therefor I want information from sites that have their content listed there.
Dutch people don't get intimidated quickly and certainly not big providers....they
get these kind of emails every day. But once they see what's going on plus the
fact that we are serious about it......afterall I'll be showing up face to face with
them they will surely change their mind very quickly.
They have no real idea that this is serious.....emails and forum tough talk
won't scare them or impress them. Showing up and letting them see the
emails of different companies who are willing to go all the way by getting
their content removed will make them realise very quickly that continuing
to do this is not a smart plan.
They are a respectable company and have a lot to lose. They are no adult
hosting company only. They have been around for years and without a
shadow of a doubt will they be willing to risk their business. Their hosting
company makes a LOT more than their forum.
And trust me I can be very convincing and of course that will be without
any treaths, tough talk or use of any kind of violence. I'm very confident
that all we have to do is show them it's serious and that they have to
stop it. Once I'm there I guarantee they won't even argue.
