Hi,
I run a web hosting company, and one of my customers who hosts his site using my service has been accused of breaching someone's copyright.
Basically according to this person, my customer has used the design that he did without paying him, so he says he is going to pursue legal actions, which might also drag me in.
What should I do in this case? I mean on one side I can't just suspend my customer's site because of a threat. But will I be liable for fine or get prosecuted if i didn't comply with this threat?
Should I talk to a lawyer, and who would you recommend (or maybe I can use your service if you are a lawyer)?
The business legal entity is based onthe Gold Coast QLD.
Thank you for your advice.
