That's just not true. I knew the Administrator of the DDL-Warez.org, and it was hosted there, in Germany in the past. And the Administrator is from Germany. Now It's somewhere in Africa, but the point is. They respect the law, and remove the links that should be removed. If you're from Germany and host it in the Germany, of course you wouldn't buy the domain name, and server under your name. Hell, it's not smart at all to buy anything under your real name if you own something that could bring you problems. Because it could bring you in the same situation that PirateBay owners are dealing with.

Anyhow, the point is. If you respect the law, and remove the links. They can't sue you. DMCA and other copyright organizations are asking you to remove the links, if you don't remove the links. Then they would contact Datacenter, and of course they will nullroute the IP of the server. And ask you nicely to remove the content, if you don't remove the content your server gets suspended. Simple as that.
SuicidalMedia Reviewed by SuicidalMedia on . Don't host in Germany! :O This might've been posted already, but I didn't find any topic with similar names. Anyway, my friend just had to close his pre-db site due to a claim by the (German) hosting company. They said that "owning sites that index releasenames are illegal in Germany". It's a very stupid claim, as even Google is illegal in that case too with their new search-suggestion function. Just a warning to everybody, don't host pre-db's or even warez sites there. German law is apparently very strict... and Rating: 5
