While Corbin Fisher’s language towards Oron has been predictably aggressive, comments and accusations leveled at LeaseWeb are bound to raise eyebrows. Challenging Oron’s need to make such large payments to LeaseWeb, Corbin Fisher’s lawyers directly accused LeaseWeb of conspiracy and/or extortion.

The evidence put forth by [Oron] shows that these expenses fall far outside of the norm for the industry. Something is amiss. Either Oron is fabricating this newfound need for hundreds of thousands of dollars or LeaseWeb is conspiring with Oron,” XBIZ reports.

Logic suggests that LeaseWeb is either colluding with Oron to assist Oron in removing hundreds of thousands of dollars from this court’s jurisdiction; extorting Oron; or Oron is not being entirely forthcoming with the court,” Corbin’s lawyers said.

And the criticism of LeaseWeb didn’t stop there. An investigator for the studio said that LeaseWeb is known to “…ignore DMCA notices or at the very least, minimize their impact.”

“Since 2007, LeaseWeb has been acknowledged online and by anti-piracy law enforcement agencies as the target of several investigations,” Dillon said. “They have frequently found themselves in the midst of legal actions because of the websites that they provide services to.

Also these filelockers are being used for exchanging illegal pornography like bestiality and kiddie porn. LeaseWeb the hosting provider who hosts MegaUpload is also hosting oron.com and we found bestiality and kiddie porn on there and reported it to the Dutch police and little is done. It’s bitter that it takes American justice to take down an illegal operation in the Netherlands. Maybe this is because the Dutch entertainment industry is so tiny compared to the American one?
