I'm looking for a willing webhost...

[warz]

I'm looking for somebody with a dedicated httpd. I do not want this information on somebodies home computer that will be constantly rebooted, and have the opportunity to have downtime of more than an hour, or so. I'm needing somebody that is willing enough to volunteer to host my lockdown checkrevision documentation. I am not willing to host it on my own webserver, because my dad paid for it and uses it too. I can't risk the site receiving a DMCA takedown. so, whoever offers will most likely receive a lot of hits, but runs the risk of receiving a takedown request (some people think these are cool, so maybe this isnt even a bad sounding thing to some people ). Why is there a possible risk of receiving a takedown? I reference snippets, and sometimes full disassembley, of blizzard functions from the lockdown library. Anyways, just let me know.

Ofcourse, unless my site would fall under fair use? http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

You're seeking to understand how lockdown works, thus it's an educational purpose and is completely legit, but Blizzard knows theres no way you can afford a lawyer, or beat theirs representing yourself, so they'll send a non-formal takedown and expect you to comply with that, and if not, you're going to get screwed. But yeah, I think you're doing legal stuff.

I know of a certain Canadian webhost, but his domain's are US and he probably doesn't want you to do it on his server anyhow. Three guesses who.

Well, I figured it would be considered fair use because blizzard doesn't prompt the user before downloading and executing their remote code. The execution of this code also occurs prior to their terms of service message. Nowhere do they even document, or tell their users that they are downloading and executing code of any kind. I'm no profiting off of this. I'm not recreating their code in its entirety. This is just for educational purposes. I dunno.

It seems like you're almost trying to pass it off for eye-for-an-eye.

Uh. You may be reading too much into this. I'm not passing it off as anything other than what it is. I just don't want to lose my web hosting.
