Open Question: Website Name - Avoiding copy right infringement.?

I have a website. Its about a European Bank, who acted in an dishonest manner with my investments, made me suffer huge losses. The name of the site is two part - first part of it has the name 'initials' of the bank. OK. The site been running for years, till the bank contacted the Web Hosting firm (USA based) and threatened to sue them (NOT me!!) if they didnt close down my site - cause (they claim) it violated copy right infringement laws/rules. I moved my site to another webhost, also in US, but again they threatenend the new host with law suit. Where can I host my site (other than in US, Euro, Asia, god knows where!) in a location/country, where the legal arm of this major European Bank (also has huge US presence) can't reach. Any ingenious thoughts, appreciated. Ref. GNU/Linux - have no idea how to go about it! Are there people around who can assist w/ this tech matter. As for the IP, think that whatever ISP I will run my service from, they gona be chased by the Bank, to block my IP/account !?

Open Question: Privacy problems with my ISP re: use of Utorrent?

recently i heard that Obama's favorite TV character was this gay gang banger, named Omar, on an HBO TV show called "The Wire" ... anyway i could not find anywhere to buy every 5 seasons, so i just tried my luck with torrents it worked fine and i got to watch my show anyway i receive this letter from my ISP , saying "HBO sent us a complaint that you downloaded this show, and we do not want you using Utorrent, and you need to send us a letter stating that you deleted these TV shows, or you may face prosecution and we will disconnect your internet" anyway i feel like my right to privacy has been violated ... do i have any options as far as taking my ISP to court (or even HBO) for violating my privacy? the thing that is so hypocritical about the ISP's attitude, is that they still host binary newsgroups with tons and tons and tons of pirated content ... example "alt.binaries.dvd" etc i know that no one hardly uses newsgroups anymore (because of torrents) but nonetheless oh and my ISP goes by many different names for some reason - Web-ster internet, Canby Telco, CanbyTel, Canby Telecom etc .. also for reasons unknown but i thought i heard that "Comcast" was recently reprimanded by the FCC for sending people letters like this http://www.canbytel.com/internet

Open Question: I've tried port forwarding but it still says a port is blocked.?

I am trying to unblock the port "6900" and I myself am really good with computers so my conclusion is that my ISP has blocked the port on their possess but I am not sure. I have a ZyXEL EQ-660R and a Linksys WRT54G I suspect the solution to this problem, if there is one, will be the solution for problems I've been having with hosting games. (But that's not the program in this case.) As mentioned in the title, I have tried port forwarding and double checked what I did on http://www.portforward.com/ but the web site http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=6900 says the port is blocked. Any advice? I'm using BitTorrent but the problem is that port is blocked. I tried doing port 80 since that works but there was no speed in change. I'll try a different torrent client later. Mind giving me a link?

Resolved Question: What is the HTML code to position images on a web page?

Or is it CSS? I'm looking for a person knowledgeable in MySpace coding. They just changed the MySpace customization features so I have to redo my profile because I hate having a plain one. I'm not yet adjusted to the coding layout of the new profiles. I don't remember the exact coding, just that it includes the image url (duh) and the two coordinates (in px) where you want the image. The tricky part is figuring out which code will work where. If I put the code in certain text boxes, it will be overwritten by the MySpace coding. Basically I just need to position an image over some unwanted MySpace text. I don't know if Yahoo will take out any of the symbols, so it'd be very neat if someone could just type it out in paint and upload the image to a host so I can look it. No, neither of those are correct. It includes "height= XXpx" and "width=XXpx". It's longer than one line.
