To be clear the closure is not related to the trademark dispute with BSkyB. The lawyers of US network A&E (History, Bio, Lifetime etc.) have contacted myself and also reported my website to Yola who took down the site immediately without any warning to myself. It is very unlikely the site will ever be unlocked. I can't publish the site and can only view it in the Yola sitebuilder. Its very simple when it comes to lawyers - copyright material is copyright material no excuses. Unless permission is granted to showcase content they have a seem to have a right to protest. To add to this by using Yola and Wordpress reports can be filed and the host simply removes the site to protect themselves from being sued. Its a fight that I wont win.

I've sent you some advice by PM. The case isn't as cut and dried as the lawyers are making out.
Not really no. Yola removed its download site feature about a year ago. I can still edit my site in the Yola site builder, but am unable to publish it to the web. But as far as setting up the new website elsewhere all pages would have to be rebuilt from scratch.
