We took the image down immediately, but they continued to demand their cash &amp;quot;settlement&amp;quot; with multiple letters over a year (1 letter every 1-2 months, each one with increasingly aggressive wording).&lt;p&gt;I eventually got on the phone with the person sending the letters, and turns out they weren&amp;#x27;t licensed to practice law (in any jurisdiction). I pointed out that it&amp;#x27;s illegal to misrepresent yourself as an attorney. They hung up and I never received another letter after that.&lt;p&gt;Good on EasyDNS for refusing to turn over customer data. If they did, I assume their customer would be harassed in a similar manner.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>EasyDNS threatened with criminal complaint if client data not disclosed</title><url>https://easydns.com/blog/2019/09/16/fechner-law-of-germany-threatens-to-bring-criminal-complaint-for-shielding-client-privacy/</url></story>

[...] If you come on this system knowingly bringing a DDoS on your heels we shut down service (we may also wildcard your DNS to localhost and set the TTL on your zone out to a year. You’ve been warned).&lt;p&gt;or&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;Guilt-by-Association: not only do we terminate any domains or websites which violate our policies, we ferret out every other domain you have on the system under different names, accounts, etc and we terminate those too (don’t worry, we can tell). There is no appeal.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m not looking for a DNS provider, because I&amp;#x27;m perfectly happy with my current one, but sheesh.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>EasyDNS threatened with criminal complaint if client data not disclosed</title><url>https://easydns.com/blog/2019/09/16/fechner-law-of-germany-threatens-to-bring-criminal-complaint-for-shielding-client-privacy/</url></story>
