We have sent several letters in the past to remove threads containing our material. There has never been a reply back.

So the question is....who is the BW provider for pornbb.org?

We should have someone make a list of all the sites out there that steal stuff along with information about who their hosts are as well as BW providers like you guys said. It's not always easy to get this info. This kind of list would be well worth the money.

Take rapidshare for example. They constantly take stuff down when you notify them, which is great. They really work with you. However 10 minutes after the content is posted again by the same guy. It would be great to be able to contact the BW providers in cases like this, where the company doesn't have to go beyond its "rights" to help you out as far as banning users who abuse their own policies.
