[tor-relays] Exit node on Contabo

[Amadeus Ramazotti]

What a joke, their reply.

You could argue that an occasional abuse complaint is a normal and to be expected feature of any web service. 

Furthermore you could attack this particular section: "...has knowledge of abuse or fraudulent or unlawful use."

You could argue that this particular case hasn't been litigated yet, therefore it isn't acceptable to conclude now that a fraudulent or unlawful use has occurred at all. 
Maybe the person filing the abuse claim was a bit overzealous or even outright wrong. This needs to be investigated first.

There is a perfect term in German for this.
Their trying to shut you down "in vorauseilendem Gehorsam". You can throw that at them, it will hurt ;)

If they're stubborn I'd go offensive here and threat them with expensive civil rights litigation.

Dear Mr Rego,

Thank you for your reply.

Generally, it is not denied to use TOR nodes on our services. However, in case it cannot be ensured that those services will not be misused, we have to ask to remove the service from our network. We also included a rule in our terms of services, please see here:

§ 10 Limitation regarding content

(5) The Provider reserves the right to immediately suspend of any server or webspace package on which any kind of proxy service, such as VPN or TOR, is operated, for which the Provider has knowledge of abuse or fraudulent or unlawful use.

Please come back within given time frame (you still have 18 hours left) and confirm that you have removed the TOR node. After that we can close this abuse case.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If you have any questions or need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
