Dreamhost? Know anyone inside? Help needed urgently + Reward !!

Tom, for the life of me I don't understand why you didn't keep copies of your script on your home computer.

I don't understand why Tom subsequently posted this:

What if I really was mounting an awesome legal attack? Then they'd be in trouble.

Expect the worst, Tom, and be ready to move on. Even if you threaten them
with suit, you're not likely to win.

(Well, I wanted to say you won't. But stranger things have happened.)

you got nothing to lose now

Except maybe time and effort better spent in possibly re-creating that script.

If you break their ToS most hosts will delete all your stuff on the spot.

And $750 for 3 letter .coms - really...

Other than that - lesson learnt, worse things can happen!

I'll never forget the time I got caught screwing my best friend's wife and he kicked me out of his house and told me never to come back. Now, I had left the only copy of a manuscript for a novel I was working on under their bed. He wouldn't let me back in to retrieve it. It was a great novel, and would have been a best seller.

... and stay out!

Tom Clancy.

Every LLL.com owner gets lot of these stupid idiotic spams. Reading this made me REALLY HAPPY. I got from this clown lot of stupid emails as well. And it is great to see some complaint worked - now I will start to look into these spam headers and will be reporting it too.

Seriously... I handled an escrow transaction this week and was spammed within one hour of the domain name being transferred to my account.

That's the good old denny007 we all loved to hate

Guys I threatened with legal action first thing I did, big mistake. I even emailed apologizing about that as in retrospect I know hoe stupid making ridiculous claims is.

My question was simply a genreral question, I am not mounting a legal battle. If person A mounted a legal battle, and Host A had deleted the files, what would happen.
Sorry for the confusion.

I will learn, and mve on regardless of the outcome, but hopefully I can negotiate with dreamhost and work something out. I am truly sorry for my mistakes.
