In a similar instance, my host basically told me – "send us documentation saying that you think your content is legal, and then we'll leave the content up, and you can battle it out in court with the people who sent the cease & desist. We've done our part." So my host basically took themselves out of the loop and covered themselves at the same time.
But that was my particular host (pair networks).
It pays to read the fine print when you sign up with a host. If they say "we can remove anything and everything at our whim," and you sign it, then I suppose that's what you get. It would be interesting to read the "user terms of agreement" for the two hosts tested in the project below.
