On Saturday, April 13, 2024, Hostgator, my hosting provider, advised me that I had not removed all Trademark Infringement content. I deleted my entire website and emailed them back. I already backed up the website when I learned I might be knocked offline once I heard. I lost a few comments and one post. The post doesn’t bother me, as it had the desired effect. I have two backups. One is on another website, ready to go, and the other is a secret.
In my annoying fashion, I emailed LR employees to A. taunt them, and B. rub their noses in it. I also joined the press and have my credentials. The next time they come for me, they will be violating my First Amendment rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.
I became a consumer advocate one year and a day ago. It was April 15, 2013. I remember that day clearly because I paused my marketing efforts when I heard about the Boston Marathon bombing. I received my first comment the following Saturday, April 20, 2013. The person and I work hand in hand, crowdsourcing and collecting 50 mom-and-pop shops, small businesses, non-profits, and universities, all of whom were owed money by Acteva. We directed everyone to the San Francisco District Attorney’s office. The SF DA took down the website and filed charges against the CEO. Acteva screwed over the wrong person, my wife, at the time. The problem is that when you screw over people, you never know who they are or who they are connected to. Thanks to Donny and Phil for teaching me how to do what I do. You two had a major impact on my career. Donny is still a great friend after all these years.
Here is what LR doesn’t seem to grasp or understand. I do this to help people and fight for those who feel powerless. Maybe it’s because I grew up with The A-Team or Equalizer. I use my skills to give back and make a decent living. I make no money from this website. I lost money because of the domain purchase and hosting fees. It’s worth it to put you out of business, hopefully, see y’all behind bars, and prevent people from going to or getting hired by LR.
