that's just what I was thinking. Once the torrent is released it will get out. Also, what is that vague 'anything objectionable' part of the TOS for network solutions? That is insanity. So basically, the constitution protects our speech, but not on the internet if you're hosted through NS?

Simply avoid using Network Solutions for anything, now and forever. This is just one of their many shady business practices.

I guess I'd have an issue with this if this guy lived in The States as that's a First Ammendment issue. Being as he is under Danish law I suppose Network Solutions can do as they please (in accordance with Dutch law) in this case...

I'd still like to see the movie though.

What difference would it make if he lived in the USA? He's being censored by his (United States) hosting service, not by the government. Network Solutions can do whatever it wants; if he doesn't like it, he can use another hosting service.
