The myBitTorrent.com domain has been fully restored after the account was suspended by registrar Go Daddy for alleged violation of their Abuse Policy.

myBitTorrent.com went down about midnight GMT on Wednesday, after a complaint from Microsoft.


myBT were given two choices in an e-mail sent by Go Daddy, neither of which included an appeal process.

“Option # 1: Transfer your domain name to another registrar.

“If you wish to transfer your domain name to another registrar, we first require that you pay a $50 administration fee before your domain name can be transferred. This fee is used to cover the costs Go Daddy has incurred in addressing this situation…

“Option # 2: Allow your domain names to remain suspended until they expire.�

It would seem that some companies cannot be trusted to act responsibly.

heh..

Unfortunately for them, as soon as a problem showed up I went in via ftp and phpmyadmin and made backups. Even with suspending the account they didnt lock me out of them. I guess they expect their customers to be too stupid to do so.

But yes, they do like to have their customers over a barrel.

So they just shut you down or steal $50 off you cause MS told them too? You think the Riaa will cease and decist if i send em a nasty letter from Bill_Gates@hotmail.com ??
