Any potential value here is tainted by sour grapes. The problem with threads like this is that it’s full of bogus comments from other hosting companies trying to rubbish the competition.

I have been in American TV since '76 in various management roles. The last was as webmaster at a top 40 TV market station (out of 200+) At various times we potentially violated a number of copyrights for streaming shows and a few resulted in Cease and Desist orders. We complied with no further legal action. There is NO CONCERN about past behavior. The lawyer is absolutely bluffing, in my opinion. (I have a friend at the BBC if you need confirmation.) In my opinion, the defamation claim has much less of a basis. Cheers, Rob I would not worry AT ALL about the “IT Crowd” connection. I have been in American TV since ‘76 in various management roles.

But actually, Channel 4 hosted them for download allready, they offered them to people for free and you just mirrored them and besides that you allready removed them. As for the Redstation part, not a chance... I didn't know the word "defamation" before reading this post, but according to the dictionary description your post is anything but defamatory... How in the world can an opinion be defamatory? An opinion is personal and can indeed hurt someone, but if it's your opinion then it's no lie and thus not defamatory. Anyway, I just first noticed that you used my button on your blogroll :D I believe it’s true that you could get some trouble for the IT Crowd episodes.

While Redstation may be wrong, and will fail in there quest to "get you", they could spend there legal time flagging up your law breaking behaviour with Channel 4 and/or the programmes distributors. Defend you right to free speech, but not when it realtes to your own illegal activities. I’d be careful on this one.
