apic has - many times - gone ahead and attempted to shut down LEGAL customers of content providers. In ERROR.

it even happened to me.

they may have shut down a few cheaters but is it worth it to deal with a company that soo stupid that it goes after your PAYING customers? believe me charly - steve DOES do this.


the caped crusador (apic) is a fool

Same here. First they didn't want to specify what was illegal and then were reluctant to acknowledge the license information. They never did apologise for the error, in fact the only reason I knew it was over was when I didn't hear from them again.

It took over a month to get sorted and if I had been with a host who didn't know me, I could have been shut down and out of business.

APIC blows.

I only hope they get burned for fucking with the wrong webmaster.

They kind of remind me of those witch hunters who would kill innocent women in attempt to find a witch.

Charly, let me get this straight - you're complaining that someone stole content and had fake info on his domain registration, right?

Anyone know Steve Easton's real name or real address? Because I'm pretty sure he uses a fake name and a fake address. This makes him no better than the people he's harrassing.

Plus he is NOT a lawyer. And he's not a good person. I have been threatened by him over my content. He sent CCBill and Verio C&D and DMCA notices as well. And the content in question is sitting in my cabinet - the mounted slides, the ID's, and the releases. This is not the mark of a professional. I have since never heard from him, but if I do my intention will more than likely be to have one of my seven lawyers resolve the situation to my satisfaction.

As a content provider, a sponsor, and a tgp owner, I want absolutely nothing to do with APIC, and APIC does not and will not represent my company.

7 lawyers?

APIC's reputation for shoot first and ask questions later precedes him Charly. Most everyone I know whose dealt with him comes out of the experience ready and eager to track the guy down with a baseball bat in hand.

Is there effective way of dealing with these problems without resorting to rogue tactics?

Old thread but a point worth answering. The daft thing about APIC is that ANYONE could do exactly the same thing themselves and probably with far more professionalism to the point where more people actually take it seriously. Why hire a semi-literate buffoon and risk ruining the reputation of your company and losing customers to do a job you could do yourself?

Whatever though. I've made my feelings clear more than enough and those who don't see the argument unfortunately never will.
