It is incorrect to say that we support Hotlinkers, however we are bound by the laws that govern our industry.
Here we have the case of a small virtual account doing something that is potentially damaging to the communities perception of our business but we are still legally bound to act in a prescribed manner for situations just like this. We had requested that the individual cease and desist at both yours and our request.
By no means do I hold myself up as an expert on this but I am confident that our Network Administrator who responded to you is quite competent in his understanding of both the law and what he can and cannot do about the situation. I do note that we disabled the virtual account at 11:42 am EST, I certainly do hope that this resolved the issue to your satisfaction (and yes I wish it could have been done faster but there are protocols that must be followed).
Thanks for your patience,

All I ever wanted was one of 2 things:
1-Give him time (for example 24 hours) to stop doing what he was doing
or
2-Shut him down for doing what he is doing.
You as a host can do just about anything you want to, let's face it you guys do it all the time! If a client is doing something that is illegal/immoral and you gave him a warning to stop and a reasonable time frame to do so then shut him down I don't think you'd have any issues.
But then again I'm not a lawyer. Though it might be good for me to contact one and see what my options are for all the time and bullshit I have to go through with this.
But who am I kidding I've already wasted enough time with this and I patched my htaccess file to stop the linking.
But every webmaster in the adult community knows that what this guy is doing is not right and many hosts would AT LEAST ask him to stop.
And it doesn't look disabled to me.
