    2011: "Without a court order, WorldStream cooperated and handed over these servers"

    2019, a quote from worldstream:
    According to Vollebregt, WorldStream is in close contact with the Dutch police and the judiciary to get content offline when there is a legal basis for this. "Sometimes they even ask us to keep certain content online to trace perpetrators. A simple request from a FAPAV or the Dutch equivalent of FAPAV, Stichting Brein, is insufficient in that sense, we cannot agree within Dutch legislation listen to. (google translate).

    2020: "I received an email from Worldstream telling me to remove DMCA content from my server. But the thing is that I don't have any DMCA related content, I asked them to show me the urls so I can investigate the matter.

    But instead of cooperating they shut down my servers without sending any proof. I have switched supplier and haven't been using Worldstream and wouldn't recommend anyone to use them"

    Do you have troubles with law ? Do you host illegal content ?

    @packetnext, thank you for commenting! At Worldstream we believe that promoting a safe internet is vital as a conscious provider. For anyone reading, that means we comply to European laws in order to do legitimate business as it lines up with our mission.

    Feel free to read about our policy: https://www.worldstream.com/en/support/abuse

    You are free to ask us about terms & conditions before you start your journey with us. Rather, we would encourage to do so in order to avoid having different expectations.

    In your last link, which is a bit more recent, we've stated the following and we encourage you to read the topic in full:

    "We have clear policies, with a dedicated team ensuring notices are handled properly. Customers receive a warning, which includes the report with the details concerning the abuse. We do not shut down customers without providing adequate information and obey the Notice and Takedown Code."

    DMCA is not "the law" in The Netherlands, although they do a good job at being "Uncle Sam's" little slave.

    It says clearly that they LIED to customers.

    Illegal content is not illegal until a COURT decides so. That is not up to Tim Kuik, nor US law applied in a non-jurisdiction.

    Even if you don't, someone can claim DMCA and bring down your servers. That was the point.

  • amarcamarc Veteran

    Point being: someone try to act dumb, thought NL is "offshore" , acted stupid on warnings and complains after getting suspended .

    So tell me, how and why me, who run corporate websites, email and news portals should "beware of Worldstream"?

  • @amarc said: So tell me, how and why me, who run corporate websites, email and news portals should "beware of Worldstream"?

    If the first blog post is true, is it not worrying to you that WorldStream, and I quote, "Without a court order, WorldStream cooperated and handed over these servers. It even appears that this privately owned extortionist operation called BREIN only wanted to return the servers to its rightful owners after discussing a financial settlement. Call it what you want but I call that theft and extortion."

    Do you personally not find it worrying that Worldstream handed over customer servers to an organization that has zero legal power within the Netherlands? If you don't find it worrying, you might need a checkup, because that's crazy scary.

    Do you believe it’s true ? Do you believe in NL I can just come to your house, take your car keys and drive away ?

    Let’s stop pretending and be kids.

    Pretty odd situation

  • @amarc said: Do you believe in NL I can just come to your house, take your car keys and drive away ?

    Where I live, yes. Everyone keeps their doors open because they trust everyone in their town. Welcome to civilized Western countries. Worldstream has a history of making poor decisions, including forcing Incognet to drop downstream customers.

    @amarc said: Guy acting dumb while we all know he was fully aware of streaming happening

    You are ignoring the problem. If Worldstream simply suspended the server, I don't think anyone would care. Everyone is aware of the risks associated with hosting copyrighted content. The issue lies in the fact that they handed over the servers to BREIN.

  • People need to research worldstream before they buy from them, just as with any other provider.

    Is it so difficult to look on WHT before buying something promoted here on LEB?

    If people would have for example researched the history of Bap Karreman and Reinier van Eeden (Colinks/Linkup/Quasinetworks/Novogara/IPvolume) they would have never bought a server hosted in their Wormer datacenter.

    Just type in worldstream+BREIN (Tim Kuik) on google is enough:

    "The site, known as Swan, was taken down by hosting provider WorldStream and without judicial process BREIN seized its servers"
    https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › BREIN

    Torrentfreak
    https://torrentfreak.com/brein-seizes-warez-servers-owners-seize-them-back-may-sue-110222/

    And then, in 2020, guess what BREIN actually goes via the court
    https://torrentfreak.com/mpa-and-brein-sue-hosting-providers-over-pirate-streaming-service-200416/

    https://torrentfreak.com/court-brein-can-continue-action-against-hosts-in-pirate-cdn-streaming-case-210610/

    But, Woldstream, by then, and by now still does not understand that DMCA does not apply in The Netherlands.

    All that, was explained in the dutch RTLNieuws article I mentioned above:
    THEY WORK WITH POLICE EVEN WHEN SOMETHING DID NOT GO VIA THE COURT.

    2020: "I received an email from Worldstream telling me to remove DMCA content from my server. But the thing is that I don't have any DMCA related content, I asked them to show me the urls so I can investigate the matter.

    But instead of cooperating they shut down my servers without sending any proof. I have switched supplier and haven't been using Worldstream and wouldn't recommend anyone to use them"

  • Worldstream does not care about it's customers, nor the law, nor their position as a hosting company.

    They only care about money.

    I would care. It means Dick and Andy can bring any website down by claiming DMCA when there's no evidence of any illegal activity.

    Personal vendeta? You have been heard. Enough bashing. Ws is not provider for warez, copyright and alike.

    You can blaber whatever you want, but if I,company, decide that you host inapropriate content - I boot you out and keep my network clean. Go and sue.

    That is actually how it is now with quite some hosting providers, I think also Leaseweb for example.
    Unless you respond within 6 - 12 hours, for a few incidents.

    That's also why I though and think that the Incognet and Hostsailor being hosted with Worldstream is.... Interesting.

    That itself is not a problem. The issue is being asked to "respond" on the absence of evidence:

    But the thing is that I don't have any DMCA related content, I asked them to show me the urls so I can investigate the matter. But instead of cooperating they shut down my servers without sending any proof.

    Exactly what was Worldstream expecting? If there's illegal activity, the "response" must be verifiable. If there's no URL, how does worldstream verify that the issue is fixed? What was the problem to begin with, since there was no evidence from the beginning? It amounts to taking down a server on hearsay or rumors of illegal activity.
