Hostgator
Softlayer Technologies Inc web hosting violated my first amendment right of free speech

I use a website hosted by Hostgator to offer computer services and web design for supplemental income. I had a parody of Best Buy's Geek Squad logo which was titled "Greek Squad." Best Buy sent a DMCA notice to Hostgator, and Hostgator forcibly removed my logo from my website, without my consent, under protest and duress, in a blatant attempt to suppress my first amendment right.

I called and spoke with a supervisor at Hostgator and asked them to make it right and revert my website back to the way it was. Eric the supervisor, refused, and tried to make me believe the DMCA superseded the constitution for the united States of America. I explained to Eric and through electronic correspondence that if this was not made right, I would seek legal remedy.

So far I have invested about 28 hours between phone calls, email correspondence, and legal research all because of Hostgator caving to a DMCA threat from Best Buy.
