Perez Hilton blog mired in legal complaints

Here’s a bit of an aside from what we normally cover, but still raises interesting issues. The gossip blog PerezHilton.com is finding it hard to stay fully functioning under the weight of complaints from photo agencies and the consequent lack of support from ISPs. The article at Plagiarism Today notes that Perez’s high volume of complaints, coupled with high volume of visitors mean he is probably an unattractive proposition for many ISPs. Unless an ISP can streamline it’s take down program, the costs are unlikely to be met by the hosting fees being paid byt the site incurring the takedown requests.
