CloudatCost end of Life
-
What is really odd is that the company is still around at all.
-
Someone posted about this is the "What are you doing now?" thread just before I went to bed last night. I think it is that they are discontinuing the old products and forcing people to either go with the new one or to choose now and be stuck or something like that. It was a really weird email message.

My servers are still running even after I got a full refund months ago.....

If that was a chargeback/paypal forced refund that's technically stealing and companies can (and have) sued to get money for the time you used before.
-
@Jason That seems like a bit much.
Regardless, I am not using the servers for anything anyways.

No different than a cabling company suing to get back pay from someone when they forget to disconnect the service to the customer.

@Jason You think they are going to sue me all the way over here in Russia?

Only stealing if he uses them. If they have been ignored and CloudatCost is using them, that's their own concern.

Actually that seems like a bit much. I can see back charging for something like webhosting VPS hosting when it's quite clear the purchaser is still using them... but cable - How do you prove they were using it?

It IS different than that, completely. That's not stealing in any way and because it isn't the government had to write laws specific to the case because theft laws did not cover it. Cable companies pumping signal into your house is not stealing if you do not cause it. That's like saying watching normal over the air television is stealing. Or that looking at people walking down the sidewalk is stealing. It's not, it's just RF signals in your home that you observe. Stealing implies you take, not it is given.

Actually it's still a crime. Cable companes can detect which devices are watching, heck even some the newer stuff will report the Model # of it.

Here is the difference the government is in bed with the cable companies. They have never even heard of C@C. Saying someone is going to get sued over a VPS is a bit extreme.
C@C has their heads so far up their ass that they have no clue anyway. Even if they did decide to try to sue, it would get thrown out immediately once they say all the PayPal charge backs and complaints.

Did I say it wasn't a crime? I very carefully explained that it WAS a crime, but only because they wrote a new kind of law to make it so because it isn't on its own.
