Provider 1blu closed exit node torpaulianer

[Thomas Hluchnik]

I am not a lawyer but I think they have a contract with you. You paid them 
money and they have to provide you a host. Very simple. If they shut down 
your server without any comment they broke the contract. So you can go to 
judge and force them to fulfill your contract. If they did not even tell you 
why they shut it down any judge should be on your side (German: "Einstweilige 
Verfügung")

I think they try to go the way of least trouble. Hosting providers get lots of 
trouble through the police. They just seize the complete servers for months 
and force the providers to do lots of bureaucracy. This costs money. The 
problem here is the police. They could make a copy of the hard drives, this 
would be enough. But they take away the complete hardware. The Hosting 
Providers think it would be too much trouble to to go to judge against that 
behaviour. They think it is less trouble to just shutdown the customers host.

It is a question of pressure. Who makes more pressure? The customer or the 
police? If you force them to fulfill their contract they might start thinking 
about going to judge preventing police to seize a complete server.
