Phun 723 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If you have removed the content then you should be safe. If you do not remove content, depending on your hosting provider's location your site might be taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tony 5,207 Posted March 24, 2013 Administrator Share Posted March 24, 2013 As Phun pointed out, removing the offending content will generally be the worst part of it. As far as being "sued".. not likely. I've never heard of it, nor do I believe it's remotely possible. Worst case scenario, your hosting provider terminates your service and that's a win for the skin author (even for IPS if you're using other nulled content). But the chances of criminal / civil proceedings are virtually impossible. A DMCA notice can be overwhelming, but it's nothing to be overly concerned about as long as you comply (unless of course, your hosting provider isn't concerned with DMCA notices).

As your hosting is not only free and in the us then your site can be removed at anytime along with your hosting access, sites on free hosting never stay online for long anyhow... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ampli Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 most of the companies just report it google to remove the results from searching I used to get many notifications in the webmaster tools and sometimes got email from WWE for removal of their content from my forum but it was easy I deleted the thread replied to the email and thats it nothing more ever happened.

Guest risker Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 It really just matters on your host, depending on where they're from is usually the biggest factor. I've had Russian hosts who just ignore them, but I've had an American one who cowered at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tony 5,207 Posted May 11, 2013 Administrator Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's safe to say that the user has either resolved the issue with his host or moved on. The topic was posted over two months ago (and the last reply was a month ago). Gonna go ahead and lock this so dead topics aren't resurrected.
