Yeah, one of the complete bullshit things. I get around 200 emails per day like this one:

I tried to reach out to them at that e-mail. No reply.
I tried to reach out to them via the company e-mail on their website. No reply.
I called them, they will call me back. Never heard back from them.
I even wrote a snail mail letter to them. Never answered.
Now they get a reply from my mail script and thats it.

that sounds unbelievable. Tor is legal but someone has to take care of abuse mails. These support people want money for their work. If you get lots of abuse mails and
the support person is working
for 2 house on them and cost the company 50 euros and you are paying 10
euros for the hosting, they
will try to get rid of you. Its simple as that. Another issue is that
their is tier 1 support that
is dumb as hell. Try to talk to KabelDeutschland “Internet Specialists"
(now Vodafone) about DNS
issues or the OSI model. They have no clue at all und you get suicidal after a few minutes over the incompetence.
Just so. Legally ISP have to respond to DMCA notices, so the less legal overhead they have to budget for the happier they are. When I first began running Tor many moons ago I set up an exit node after an exchange of e-mails with my ISP. Nonetheless they got a DMCA notice (copyright violation) within two days and automatically cut me off at the knees. I'm severely deaf and I had to phone the "Help" desk who weren't about to deviate from their "Three strikes" script" and weren't interested whatsoever in any input from my end other than following their protocol.
