Godaddy wont take down a copyright infringing site?

Postby jorel » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:07 pm

I found this website hosted with godday, and the website CLEARLY (Like, very very very clearly) has tons of copyrighted material on it. I sent in a report to godddady's copyright email, and they sent me to some stupid term link and said I needed to be the copyright holders. WTF? The guy has movies and all kinds of stuff for download! How can godaddy just look the other way when someone reports it?!

How do i stop this guys website if goddaddy is trying to protect them!

THIS IS WHAT GODADDY SENT:

unless you are the copyright holder, they wont do anything about it.

like, if those are YOUR videos up there and you hold the copyright, yeah, go ahead, raise hell.

but if your just pointing out that its copywritten material, then they cant do anything because you dont hold any rights to that material.

godaddy just registers domain names. they cant control what people put up unless it somehow violates their own terms of service by way of like, nudity or adult content or something
