I had an individual who was banned last night from my site and servers, contact my server host and tried to get my provider to shutdown my dedicated box. He claimed that the sound plugin I use violates copyrights and that it is illegal. Yes, I am referring to the same sound trigger plugin that thousands of us use. This is just a malicious attempt on his part to exact revenge on me and my community. Taking it to my provider is another story though. If other server operators would like his ids, just ask. I did not read anything that prohibits posting ids in cases like these, but I figured I would be cautious. Below is the letter he sent my host.

Sir,
The myservernamehere, running a server at 1.1.1.1, is
broadcasting music on its server. I believe the server belongs to you.
This could be a copyright violation, and can be litigated under the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act, unless they have a license to broadcast
that music online and they pay the royalty fees to the copyright owner.
I just wanted you to know so that there aren't any surprises in case you
get a letter from the RIAA. Take care!
I just wanted other server ops to be aware of problem childs like him.
