To be honest, I can understand why they over-reacted. Wikipedia says that the Daily Mail has
around 2 million readers. I believe this was a front page headline, accusing WHSmith of a "vile trade in online rape porn". Their business must be suffering from having the website offline, but it may well have suffered more if they hadn't taken drastic action.
