And that means what? Hosting companies don't control content hosted on their servers. Also, almost all of these thieves use CloudFlare and CF won't reveal any details about their clients unless confronted with authorities or lawyers.
In Czechia, pirates can face 3 - 8 years in prison in the worst cases.
Here is an English translation (Google translate) of the law:
Quote:
§ 270 Infringement of copyright, rights related to copyright and rights to the database
(1) Whoever unjustifiably interferes not slightly with the legally protected rights to a copyright, work of art, sound or audio-visual recording, radio or television broadcast or database, shall be punished by imprisonment for up to two years, prohibition of activity or forfeiture of property.
(2) The offender shall be punished by imprisonment for six months to five years, a fine or forfeiture of the thing,
(a) where the act referred to in paragraph 1 shows signs of a commercial or other business,
(b) if, by doing so, he obtains significant gain for himself or for another, or if he thereby causes significant harm to another, or
(c) if he commits such an act to a significant extent.
(3) The offender shall be punished by imprisonment for three to eight years,
(a) if, by the act referred to in paragraph 1, he obtains, for himself or for another benefit, a large-scale benefit or thereby causes large-scale damage to another, or
(b) if he commits such an act on a large scale.

The police is obliged to act when you file a complaint. I don't think a reputable hosting company will be happy that they offer services to a Russian client who is being investigated for a crime ... which could make them liable too if they ignore that. Just show them a copy of the criminal complaint and I am sure they will act promptly. |
