I currently live in Europe, Sweden.

I owned a website forum in which I lost my access to a few months back due to me not having time managing it. I delegated access and responsibilities to people. When I had returned, these people were running the website and neglected me in my attempts to speak to them. I wanted to speak to them so that I could regain my access - after all, I still owned the website. I wanted to make an offline copy of the webserver (for myself) for safe-keeping.

The webserver in which the website was hosted on was intentionally not paid for by them - after a certain amount of time the web-host deleted the data. They knowingly decided not to tell me that it was running out, despite me making it obvious that it meant a lot to me - and they therefore let the webhost delete the website. I have saved a text-conversation I had between myself and one of these people, where they admit to this. I want to take legal action against him/them, but don't know where to start. I suspect it has something to do with data loss (without the owner's consent).

Please help me.
