"Typically, EV1 Servers will lease a computer server (that can house a number of web sites) to an individual or organization which then becomes the client of EV1 servers. The EV1 Servers client may then sell space on that computer server to someone else who has no direct relationship to EV1. That secondary customer pays EV1's customer.

That's it in a nutshell. You put in enough layers of subletting, and it really is for everyone!

I will give them a pass on the terror since it is pretty obvious that the US govt is monitoring who goes into and out of those sites.

Porn, too, is still legal.

But SPAM, I will not give them a pass on. Period.

However, in that response he also added, "On some occasions, we have been asked to terminate a user's service. On others, we have been forbidden from interrupting the operations of certain web sites – even when the customer has long past-due payments." But in a telephone interview, an official from the FBI's Houston Bureau said that the FBI is legally unable to order a business to host or continue to host a web site. A court order would be required to do so, she said, and that would only be granted in exceptional circumstances.

So in other words, the headline is pretty misleading in this regard. A large hosting organization has some bad weeds pop up, removes them where legally possible when discovered, and leaves them up when asked by authorities. I say they should lauded, not trashed, for working with the feds, even when not legally required to do so.

Furthermore, such cooperation is much more effective when kept quiet, which the author should be well aware of, yet he chose to broadcast that anyway. Rather hypocritical of him to imply that they're being less than patriotic (enabling terrorism) for profit, when he in effect has done the same for sensationalism and profit.
