Actually, its not that bad ... it just happened to us recently, where we
go ta 'cease&desist' order from the legal dept of a company ... turns out
that RackSpace still hasn't removed us as owners of our old IPs, and the
current owners are running 'illegal porn' off of them :( I think that
legally they have to do a request to remove the content *before* suing,
and I think it becomes even more difficult for them where the servers
*aren't* in the US, nor fall under the US legal system ...
