    Forum owners can face such problem. If you are administrator of forum, you should be active on your forum and deleted all posts which are illegal.

    Request hostgator for backup and move to another provider which allow such things.

    Yep, that's exactly what happens when you break the law. Consider it as three lessons, really:

    1) Stay active on your own forums
    2) Don't post or allow copyrighted/illegal material to be posted, or hosted on your website
    3) Make your own backups. If you made your own backups like you should be doing, you would have your site and databases.

    Your resolution is to remove the copyright materials/content from your forum. Contact HostGator to unsuspend your account so that you could remove the content.

    Right...they do not allow copyrighted materials, as listed in their Terms of Service which you agreed to when signing up for hosting. And yes, if the other websites on HostGator are doing the same thing, they potentially face the same problem as well when they get caught.

    If you're going to host illegal material, you will need to look for offshore hosting. No U.S. host is going to allow you to conduct illegal activity on their servers.

    This is why you should always read the TOS. It gives a lot of information and you could learn a lot from it. If you want to searched for copyrighted stuff in the TOS just search copyright or illegal and you'll find some stuff.

    Soo, you're running an adult forum with passwords or downloadable content from inside the members areas? How unique, all the indian dogs and scammers do that nowadays...
    It's people like you, who parasite on society and on intellectual properties who should be banned for life.
