There was a large downtime on our site due to someone uploading illegal movies and getting caught. We had to shut down the server due to a request from MPAA/RIAA. Here is the whole story
"Warning to all members! The MPAA/RIAA are serious about trading copyrighted works. A user on our system was doing just that and it is HIS FAULT today that the server was down for a couple hours. The server was disconnected from the internet at the request of the MPAA because they detected several movies available via bittorrent. If I catch anyone on this server using any kind of file sharing system such as bittorrent or anyone posting any kind of illegal content on the server, your site will be permanently removed from our server. You will receive no warning, and no excuses will be accepted. You will be billed for any damages incurred. This sort of abuse will not be tolerated on our system.
I will begin running scripts to detect common illegal file types starting this weekend. If I find bittorent files, movies, or illegal software, your site will be immediately deleted. If I find audio files I will make sure they are original works, or the files themselves will be deleted from your site without warning.
If these things continue to be a problem for us, we will begin to institute restrictive storage and bandwidth quotas. We will also consider other methods such as automatic rejection of unacceptable file uploads if necessary. Do not ruin [this service] for other people." - System Administrator
