Were you ever forced to shut down a website?

[Cyrus@21]

Not at all.

 

[Senator]

There was never a time I was ever forced or asked tonshirt down my website for any reason. I don't think I have even heard of anyone saying they've been asked to short down their website before either

 

[Seno inyang]

What are the reasons for having to tell someone to shut his or her website.? I've not been in such a situation before.

 

[Elfinito]

I have never run a website yet but I don't think I would ever get to shut down my website for any reason what so ever

Have you ever been forced to shut down a website? Maybe it had copyrighted material, or a domain name that was owned by a company. Have you ever been forced to shut down? And if so, what happened?

Personally, I don't own any functional website, so there wouldn't be any possibility of having it shut down for any reason whatsoever. It's set up using Blogspot which I hardly visit because of lack of time.

 

[Immilash]

the truth is that I have never owned a website,but I think if you are been asked to shut down a website,but i think if you are been asked to shut down a website the website might be a violation

No,have not it and I don't really have a website now but even if I do in the future it will be out of personal interest and I cannot shut it down so easily..... It is the best for us to avoid copying of content most especially those with copy right.

A few of my websites are blocked only in india by government agencies for exposing corrupt, financial fraud since well paid government employees are falsely claiming to own the website, paypal account of a private citizen they hate, criminally defame. No one has asked me to shut down the websites.

By the way, do you know anyone who was forced to shut down a website? I have never heard of anyone who was forced to close the site due to domain or website issues. Once you build a website, only you can close it down.

Although, I do not have a website, but I have know people who were advise or convince to sell there website because the can not run the payment and others.

I have not been able to own a website , so i haven't had anything to do with the closing or shutting down a website, but in your own case , using pictures of actors is a copyright infrigement.

There was a website that I know which closed because it was using so many pictures of actors in the movie industry. When the copyright law was imposed the owner of the site asked our office if the posted pictures without permission is not legal. Our boss advised the website owner to just abandon or to close the site to avoid legal issues.

No I haven't been forced to shut down a website but I can imagine that once your site name is infringing a lot of rules, you'll have no choice but to shut it down so you don't lose on both ends.
This is part of what the business owner or web developer should consider or research about before putting up any site.

I have opened several blogs and was forced to close it down not by anybody but by my own decision. I made this decision I started some of these blogs with an enthusiasm and along the line I got discouraged and quitted.

"Discouraged" maybe the reason being that you never got the result you expected. Shutting it down was the right thing to do, other spend time on something that wouldn't work out

 

[greenie]

no, I was never forced to close a site. I don't know why you could suffer like that and if anyone suffered from it. What solutions did you come up with in the end?

From what you have said, you have tried this more than once. If I might ask, what motivated you in the first place to even try this out?

 

[Ub40]

Even though I don't have a website I am running at the moment, but I will like to know too if there are things one will do that can cause one to be forced to shut down his or her website. This knowledge can really help those that are planning to create website in the future. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Bousine123]

I have never shut down a website because I don't have one, sometimes people shut down their websites due to lack of time and resources to manage it, right now am not interested in having a website.

This is something that i have never had happen before however i have seen that there is a lot of sites that have had to close down because of copyright claims to their site and maybe even the code behind it as well.
