nocturnalsims | News regarding GoS

The majority of you have realised that Garden of Shadows is down, and if you visit the site regularly then you will have noticed the thread regarding the complaint that the host received from TSR.

TSR sent a complaint email to GoDaddy, GoS’ and DP’s host, claiming that we were redistributing copyrighted content. Not only do TSR have no legal claim over sims CC but the content was in Media Fire links not on our server. We have never hosted this content on our server and as such Liegen made a counter claim.

GoDaddy has wrongly placed the forum and site offline for 10-14 business days (2-3 weeks) because of TSR’s accusation. Note that TSR have barely any ground to stand on in such an accusation so the only reason GoS is currently down is because GoDaddy are a shoddy host and have a reputation for rolling over when they receive any legal notice.

So are we going to wait 3 weeks and go back to a rubbish host? Of course not.

We are currently organising moving to a new server as soon as possible and we will keep you all updated when we have more news.

This is being cross posted at my private DW journal, LJ and Nocturnal, to attempt to inform as many of you as possible. jenfold also has an entry about this and may update that to include any news when we have it.
