Not the Odeon cheating stuff again. That's some serious sour grapes, to dredge that up out of the past because what? Spasticity is failing?
Ok granted, it's kind of shitty to rub that failure in Schleed's face when he comes back here. But the Hostgator TOS states that offending material won't be removed unless a USA court of law actually finds it to be defamatory:
Sites hosted on Hostgator.com's service(s) are regulated only by U.S. law. Given this fact, and pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, we do not remove allegedly defamatory material from domains hosted on our service(s). The only exception to this rule is if the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. Hostgator.com is not in a position to investigate and validate or invalidate the veracity of individual defamation claims, which is why we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is indeed considered defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates material is defamatory, libelous, or slanderous in nature; we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a US Court has placed an injunction against specified content or material; we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question.
I didn't see the video so I don't know what the personal information was, but a video actually seems a lot less harmful than written words. For one big reason: it's not google-able.
Seriously though, has anybody looked at the official Intensity TOS lately? It includes gems such as this:
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.
Wait, we're not allowed to post any sexually oriented material? Or material that's inaccurate, profane, or hateful? Somebody better spread the word before the agents in dark glasses come knocking....
We really need to get this shit updated. Preferably amending the legalese with what's actually enforced, something short and sweet like "Don't violate the Hostgator TOS and don't post the webmaster's personal info."
