I'm not sure that is a bad thing, actually. Although I do not like spam and botnets, at least they are willing to stand up for their customers and require due process. Others will cave on bogus DMCA notices and assume that the customer is guilty.

I would actually call pulling the plug without due process irresponsible.

Also, I question your claim about it happening only after "immense pressure." Your own link praises them for their response, and some googling suggests similar wording in all coverage I can find.
