isn't google fun http://www.lockerz-scam.com/ not really sure what you're trying to ask though did you get something int he mail, or are you just asking "if they send you a DMCA" ?
Not really sure how you googled us, but please don't post the URL? And yes I received a forwarded e-mail from name.com with attached email from law firm. But I noticed on googlesux.com they sell a clothing line as well, and even use Google's logo. I never used the site's logo in mine.
1.. i googled your username you have an account on WF with that link in your sig and 2.. a real DMCA will come by snail mail, just delete that email and carry on and 3. you quoted my post with your link and you're asking me to remove the link...lol uh.. okay
That's the same ground Nissan Motors eventually used on Mr. Nissan for nissan.com. Their dispute continues on, though it's still with Mr. Nissan. Unfortunately a judge or a UDRP panelist can use that bit as a "proof" of infringement. You'll have to defend your rights to it if you want to keep that. OTOH, free speech and gripe sites have been protected. It will take a bit of convincing, though. Good luck.
I cannot believe lockerz is a scam, most of the users on my forum are currently using it so I don't want them wasting there time. Could you pm me with some information on how lockerz are scamming? I'll let me users know about this. Also, you could probably just ignore their DMCA emails. It's not like that could do much. I've seen sites like your a lot. regards, Kevin aka Luffy
1. Removing the ads now doesn't erase what you have already done. That would be one argument against you. 2. You've stated a lot of things about the company as "fact" not an opinion, and with "proof". I don't know anything about the company, but stating things as "fact" is very dangerous if you cannot prove every single one. It doesn't matter if you state 100 facts and only 1 is proven untrue, you are liable and a disclaimer isn't going to protect you. 3. Forget about what other people are doing with "sucks" sites - it doesn't mean anything. A lot of companies choose to ignore them, others will make your life a living hell. 4. Forget about "privacy protection" - many such services will release information with a legal threat from an attorney. All of them will do it with a court order, and this isn't hard to get. 5. Of course they can sue you. They can sue you for no other reason than to force you to spend tens of thousands of dollars in court - perhaps six figures. If you win, you will likely be out attorney fees. A company with deep pockets will use this as a strategy to bury you in legal fees. 6. I would strongly suggest consulting an attorney if you are not going to comply with their requests. These type of disputes can get real nasty - and I know from personal experience. If you don't want to pay to get an a legal opinion, you surely don't want to have them file a suit against you. The legal fees you will then be looking at will be massive in comparison.
All understood and good points. But it's true that until they send me a letter, it's not official, correct?
They don't have to notify you at all. They can file a lawsuit and ask for a court order without contacting you.
