Do most of you host the software and scripts you get from here on there servers? Looks like most are in USA . What would happan if a software developer complains? Wouldnt they shut down your whole VPS server?
The first step is usually an email to you asking for your valid license. At that point you can either take the script down or pay for the license. If they do jump ahead and go right to your host, you pretty much have the same options. A host isn't going to shut down your server without contacting you first. Blame it on an outsourced programmer.
