Internet "Pagejacker" Settles FTC Charges
Australian defendant, Gregory Lasrado, has agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that a scheme that hijacked unwitting Internet surfers violated the FTC Act. Lasrado participated in a scam that copied existing Web sites and inserted coded instructions in the copycat sites which automatically redirected consumers to adult sites operated by the defendants.
Then the scammers disabled the browser's "back" and "exit" commands so that Internet surfers trying to escape the pornographic images faced screen after screen of similar material and advertisements for other adult sites.
The FTC obtained a permanent injunction from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and a court order to permanently purge this scam from the Internet in default judgments against two defendants, WTFRC Pty Ltd. and Guiseppe Nirta. A third defendant, Carlos Pereira, has evaded law enforcement authorities in Portugal. The Stipulated Final Judgment and Order announced today will bar the illegal practices and resolve the case against Lasrado.

Brisbane's porners are accused by their peers of massive spamming - transmitting millions of emails advertising pornography and bestiality to people, including children, who did not request such filth. The Aussies counter by saying that their spamming has been overstated, and that all adult internet operators do this. (See the AOL vs CEN suit.)
The other main accusation against the Aussie porners is that they frequently used stolen content. Most if not all of these issues were resolved with porn content providers in the year 2000.
Lasrado and Johnson are infamous for the amount of dollars they earn through internet bestiality sites.

Luke says: Steve Easton from APIC (a group that monitors copyright violation on the internet) wrote leading porn webmasters 7/27/00:
I recieved this anonymous email this morning. I have no idea who this is from or if it is fact. It certainly is convincing, and falls right into the pattern I always suspect it will.
Email: This letter concerns the rumored copyright infringements of this new Australian paysite company operating a webmaster program named Filthy Cash [owned by Greg Lasrado]. I was immediately suspect of this company the moment they reared their head. Soon I learned that the main people in this company were previously owners of a company called WTFRC, short for Who The f--- Really Cares. The biggest email spammers ever to hit the Adult Net.

Greg Lasrado's Filthycash.com operation has a terrible reputation among webmasters for using stolen content, spamming etc... Lasrado's often named as part of the Australian porn mafia. He's gotten a hiding on this site and other places over the past few weeks and is appearing to clean up his act. Sweet Entertainment Group recently got paid over $50,000 for content Lasrado's operation had stolen.

Anyway, you get the idea. He currently has a twitter account and blog, so if you want to contact him, he's apparently easy to find.
