If you searched you would know that the current stable version in 8.5 but the beta version only for beta testers is 9.0.

thats just bs. i think you should also have a disclaimer saying that basicly nothing on the website can relate to you and its all for educational purposes only and crap.

A disclaimer doesn't help if you have illegal stuff on your site (put there by yourself or not doesn't matter). If you do not take that illegal content off, then your host has every right todo so, by any means they seem fit and with or without any warning.

Most terms of service have a clause that states if there is illegal content in your hosting then they have the right to remove you completely.  Though as it was only a link and not the actually program then i don't think there is anything wrong with that (this is one of the points that the pirate bay is making in their pending court case).  Microsoft should have targeted the site that was hosting it rather than the one that was linking to it imho.

imho (and many others that I know too) linking to something illegal is just as bad as hosting it, and should be dealt with too.
