Just take the shit down-

I think I know what I am talking about...

Google me

"Kevin Blatt"

You'll see I have been wroking closely with some high power attorneys' and know the game better than anyone...

Just comply once THEIR attorney sends you a C&D

and if their firm is Lavely and Singer

do it FAST.

Everything was taken down in 4 hours and 30 minutes after receiving his "cease and desist.:

fuck that shit

gena lee nolins attorney contacted me about that video..then talked to my lawyer...and never took down anything

if you don't get a registered cease and desist they can go fuck themselves....

and an email??? sounds like they are just jealous your making money off it...well, not anymore....

QualityMpegs you sound like you are scared shitless by all the questions you are asking. Also I would bet you don't have any real money to speak of or you would not be asking serious legal questions that ultimately could result in your bankruptcy. I would suggest you contact a lawyer ASAP. Some of the replies you are getting here seem to be ok, but you will look pretty stupid telling the judge, "Your honor, my friends on Go Fuck Yourself" said bla, bla, bla.......

I'm not being an ass to you, I'm just saying that if you think their is even a shred of validity to this legal issue, then contact a good lawyer
:2 cents:

Well, you're right, I am a bit unsettled about this situation and I don't have too much money for lawyer/court fees/lawsuits, because I'm a college kid. I will look into finding an attorney.

an official C&D should get you put on notice that they know you are there.

An Injunction is a little more serious-

A subpoena would follow next complete with discovery and then they subpoena your bank records, they get to the hosting company -

Then your processor

It's not worth it- just do what you have to do to rid yourself of this problem.

Take it down and be compliant-

Whatever money you made- be fine with it and move on..

I gave you a good one thats not going to cost a fortune.

Ok, so all of the files have been down for 3 hours now...why would they go about issuing a cease and desist still, even officially? I've already complied.

Yes, that's the one I was planning on contacting...sorry about now saying that...I really do appreciate the tip btw!

A manager can not issue a C&D.

This joker is copy and pasting the same emails word for word to anyone who had higher search engine rankings then reality tail.

When I got my emails, I went ahead and removed the the page, but then he kept on. I refferred him to my lawyer and have never heard from him again.

you should google his name and read about how he's being sued by Ford for taking 300k to shoot a commercial that never got done.

Hes just another street gangster/hustler riding Ice T's coat tails to the top.

when did you get the email from him? this is actually a little reassuring to hear. Is he not actually her manager?

also...did you ever actually received a certified cease and desist or only emails? Did he give you the speech about how he'll "see you in court" and the "you'll lose" shit like he wrote in my second email above?

He first contacted me around the 15th of July.

My feeling was that he is just trying to bully what he hopes is know nothing teenagers. As stated Once he was told to have his lawyer contact mine in the future he was never heard from again.

I never bothered putting the page back up as I figured the lil bit I made from it was not worth thousands in possible future legal bills

No, I never got a legal C&D and yes he used the same childish taunts. He sent the same email, word for word (not counting the obvious needed changes) to everyone.

how many times do people have to say get a lawyer... it's probably bullshit anyways but for peace of mind talk to a lawyer... you should have one anyways for just such an occasion!

how do you know hes even their lawyer?

any proof?

its prob someone with the same type of site.

anyway i can find out without having to just refer him to a lawyer(which i will be doing soon)?

google his name for some good reads on him

Well I had that happen to me once. It was a 3 hr deadline if memory serves right, per email

Additionally they sent someone over with the actual papers though
