This is an Outrage!

Issue was resolved apparently, Thank you for the support.

You clearly violated both Runescapes and x10's TOS that you agreed to when you signed up.

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

Never agreed to RuneScape ToS, also a LINK was not provided by x10hosting.

Which the files are not located on x10hosting. they are provided on mega.co.nz.


I'm being banned for a redirect.

 

[peppermi]

Because your linking to content that is not legal

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

An what proof is there?

My link is hosted on mega.co.nz, how does that prove my "Runescape client" is really a client from runescape? It could be anything.


None the less its a link that is NOT being provided by x10hosting.

That would be like me checking you site, like stated before, finding ANYTHING that is a picture, text document, or ANYTHING that is not yours but on your website or linked THROUGH your webiste, as copyrighted content in which you would be violating the so called "terms of service" and would have to be terminated for it.

The only way to prove so is if you downloaded the files and check it yourself.

[which is against my own ToS].

1. My sites not hosted via x10 it use to be but I moved hosts due to some personal reasons
2. we are working on form where members can request their stuff to be removed from my site
3. I don't claim any images as my own
4. I'm not linking content that may be considered Nulled/Pirated/Illegal

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

1. I dont blame you.
2. Doesn't matter. if its their at all your services should be terminated cuz of it *but your not on x10hosting*.
3. Never claimed anything as my own either.
4. A link is still a link. its a redirect, not an actual file that is downloadable that may or may not contiane copyrighted material.

 

[essellar]

You are utterly and completely in the wrong here. It doesn't matter where the files are physically located, you are making them available on pages hosted on x10Hosting's servers. Not only is that a contravention of the terms of service, it makes x10Hosting liable under US law if they don't act.

 

[peppermi]

I actually wanted to stick with them thats why I'm still here helping other members

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

Thats why thepiratebay gets a lawsuit for "linking" peer to peer files on their site right? Thats why their site is terminated right?

Oh wait.... it's still here... and still around, and still accessible.

 

[peppermi]

They run their own servers and have power over whats posted and isn't hosted in the US as I said before you want to host files against most ONSHORE HOSTING SITES THEN GO OFFSHORE HOSTING

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

apparently my site was unbanned now once again. Cheers, getting a copy of everything I have now.

 

[ace_case]

With this account being unbanned, I would like to request an official statement from the person who unbanned him. With such a controversial subject, it may help in the future. It will also draw a clear line between what is and what isn't allowed.

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

I'd like to speak with them too on fair ground for the fact that a common link should not be a bannable offense, especially if someone goes on your forums and posts something that may be bad and I don't have the time to moderate it to get it removed from my site. I'd be getting suspended permanently for something a user did on my forums and I have no control over that.

If it was an actual download provided by x10hosting, then I can see where I'd be in the wrong, but a link to a third party website that happens to provide file hosting is something to be taken up with THAT service not x10hosting. How can x10hosting be responsible for something that is NOT in their power and not being provided by them.

I would stop while you are ahead. While an official statement would be good to have, an argument would not. I suspect that you were unbanned because an admin is having a nice day. It seems you have openly admitted to owning the files for the illegal software, which could be a violation of the law. Also, I would like to note that should someone take this to the authorities, I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be difficult to get a warrant for the files. Just having a TOS that says "No members of any legal bodies may view this website" does not mean you get immunity from any illegal content you may have there.

 

[garrettroyce]

x10Hosting reserves the right to refuse service and/or access to its servers to anyone.

x10Hosting administrators may choose to suspend accounts at their own discretion. It is impossible to write a Terms of Service that covers every possible scenario. I don't know why you were suspended or unsuspended.

As for your own users uploading or posting something illegal, you are responsible for your users as well. You are responsible for the content of your website no matter who posted that content. Ultimately, you have to enforce x10Hosting's rules on your users.

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

I'm not trying to make an argument.

Also i'm not admitting I own the files either. I'm stating I have a link provided to a mega.co.nz link that is suspected to have copyright infringment. I just want to know, as of you do to, that are providing "LINKS" to a third party site, such as mega.co.nz, count as copyrighted material, or the files uploaded to x10hosting count only, as then they would be liable to those files.

 

[ace_case]

My files are on mega.co.nz.

That sounds a bit like admitting to owning the files on mega.co.nz...

I am not a staff member, but I do believe we never allowed any sort of private server wether habbo hotel nor runescape nor maple story.

No Warez Absolutely under no circumstances do we allow any type of illegal or copyright infringing material.

I think linking to a client would be copyright infringing material..

Honestly, if you are going to do these type of servers, go find an offshore hosting service as it is quite risky hosting it in the US, not only can it get the provider in trouble, but you can also get found easily.

*Please note I am not encouraging private servers or anything, it is just my past experience (2-3 years ago) I have gotten cease and desist letters from my hosting companies, nexon (maplestory), habbo hotel and runescape when using other paid and free services.

 

[xxslayzerxx35]

The server files for private servers are NOT illegal. They are made by people and released with an GNU license in which users agree upon when donwloading the files to run their servers.

Habbohotel can be an exception as it runs ON the website.

(which also still brings up the point of is the clients for habbo hotel bannable for being ON x10hosting or OFF x10hosting?)


In example, If I run a habbohotel server and my client coded with PHP is uploaded on x10hosting so people can go on my site and access the habbohotel client, THAT would be on x10hosting because the files are on x10hosting and is infringing copyrighted material.


however, if i hosted it on an offshore webhost but the main site was on x10hosting and I provided a link to my habbohotel client, it can still be considered copyright infringment but the other webhost would be at fault for the files being on their services. Not x10hosting services.
