Not American either, as far as I know, not sure there though.
It's what lawyers call "a dick move".

The WHOIS provides another avenue for legal recourse.

Linode can be forced to take down the material under a DMCA request.
idontunderstand:
Hmm no idea what you're talking about to be honest. Explain? DMCA? WHOIS?
pwhodges:
WHOIS - means of looking up owners of Internet resources (has been part of the structure of the Internet from quite early times).
DMCA - Digital Millennium Copyright Act; a US copyright law particularly concerned with the control of digital access to copyright works.
Is it cold in here?:
There's a famous reply, which I don't remember well enough to find, from a Swedish outfit to a US company who sent them a DMCA takedown notice. It was well-formed ridicule, containing sentences similar to "Please be advised of a fact that may surprise you, which is that Sweden is not part of the US".

It could be this one. http://static.thepiratebay.org/dreamworks_response.txt Or others of that kind http://thepiratebay.org/legal .
