Need Legal Help - Revenge Site

Not open for further replies.


Drew,

I'm giving you until 5:00PM EST before I email the dean of your college, the head of the engineering department and student services every bit of proof that I collected that you are the owner of this site. I assumed that you were a good liar so I've already collected a good bit of proof for the common man who is not technologically savvy. As far as I'm concerned, you've gotten off easy thus far. I'm heated about this, especially with your suicide quote above. Your logic blows my mind. You can bet that I'll be making a few phone calls, too.

These guys offer a free consultation: Dayton Lawyers

Do you think they are going to see anything but $$$ signs when I describe the situation to them AND tell them that you only have a few hundred dollars to your name and therefore no way to reasonably defend yourself. Actually, Ice you're probably the guy to make a phone call.


Drew,

You missed your deadline.

If I was in your shoes right now, I would be clenching my butt cheeks so hard.

Go have a few drinks and hangout with some friends. Enjoy the last few days of having a normal life while you can. Things are about to change for you.

I'm excited for the upcoming events these next few days.

Want to know who I'm talking to right now?


You ready for this?

If Wickedfire (collectively) delivers even 1/10th of what is promised, I cannot possibly imagine a more appropriate time to use this gif.

So, the site is still up, OP is banned, and all that has been accomplished is giving him some free publicity?

On the bright side, it appears Ice2Eskimos just got himself an all expense paid vacation to fabulous Ohio - I'd say that's quite an accomplishment.
 
Jesus, Kids, daddy said not to ban OP

I lifted the ban.

On the other hand, I gave in to temptation and checked this thread on my phone on the way this morning.
You had me standing in central station at below freezing temperatures, sniggering and laughing at all the stuff that went down while I was sleeping.

I don't really have the time, but this is what I am going to do now:
- Add some help pages for the victims
If you have any input regarding complaint bureaus, laws to cite, etc.. please let me know.
- Go over some of the content
While I was sleeping, mightier took up the pen and wrote a long essay on Drew, so I'll see how to put that in.
- Reach out to some anti cyber-bullying organisations

Anyone who wants access to the site, PM me and you'll get the login data.

Sorta late to this party, but enjoying digging into this from a reputation management perspective. I have been spot checking rankings to names and keyword combos. Two take aways i am noticing.

1st. A LOT of overlap with yougotposted . com - to the point where I am certain he has been scrapping content from yougotposted. (overlapping watermark positions.)

Example
Example Example Note that the last two examples don't show his site as ranked yet. they are recent additions to his site, few weeks old on yougotposted . com

2nd. Some of the results have DMCA notices by google that they have removed results.

I recently came across a site just like this, and the site was somehow affiliated with a lawyer who, for a nominal ~$250 fee, would 'make' them take off the photo. Like, the lawyer was actually endorsed on the site hosting the photos, and on his site he listed that he had a 100% success rate removing photos from said 'revenge' site. It was blatantly obvious what was going on, I just wish I remembered now what it was. What a twisted ass business.
 
This is a good use case for scrapebox.

Scrape random keywords + "news".

Automatically leave blog comments on the blogs saying:

"Dear blog owner,

I am writing to inform you about a man exploiting people online for profit. He publishes nude photos of young people on the internet, along with their facebook details, names and addresses. This often ruins their reputation for the rest of their lives. He even refused to remove a photo after one girl was sexually assaulted by a man who turned up at her open house, having found her address on the website.

To find out more about this man (Drew Myers) please take a look at this website with the full story: drew-myers.info

Anyone spreading awareness of this morally abhorrent (and law breaking) man will help in the fight for justice for the victims.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Have a great day, and thanks in advance for your help."
 
Search for proper DMCA laws, put a place where people can submit a DMCA on your site, and if someone does simply remove the content. This will keep you much safer when anything legal may come up, trust me I know.
 
His content is not user submitted. He claimed somewhere in the thread that he and his friends had tons of content and thats how he started the site.
All his pictures are edited and watermarked. No DMCA regulations in this case.
 
Even if content is user submitted, there are responsibilities/liabilities attached.
The content he posts is manually edited and enriched with information by him.

At this point, "user submitted" is not going to fly anymore.

Wow. Just wow. Posting the content on their Facebook pages too? Here's some reputation management advice for the victims of this sort of thing (some of OP's victims are likely reading this thread by now along with family and friends, though hopefully the site gets taken down and minimizes any future issues for them), and some useful advice for marketers that assist people or would like to assist people with these types of privacy-invading issues.

A Basic Guide To Online Reputation Management

What To Do When Your Personal Information Becomes Publicly Available Online

OP might want to start working on ORM too. Although judging by the comments of others and the general direction things are taking in this thread, he might have other things to deal with offline first.

The sad thing is, I think we are just witnessing the very beginning of this "industry". Revenge sites, mugshot sites and gossip websites are popping up everyday, many linking out to people's personal profiles etc. The line between public/private data gets blurrier with technology being the way it is and the MASSIVE interconnectedness and accessibility of everything. Even sadder, this is the type of thing that will ultimately be the catalyst for government to REALLY mess with Internet freedoms, IMO.

You start messing with people's children and people's personal lives and ducking under CDA immunity and what not, well this stuff is surfacing in the main stream media...LOTS of legal stuff going on in the background. IMO it's only a matter of time until we see increased legislation targeting "webmaster responsibilities/online privacy/etc". It's already happening really.
 
Also, the rabbit hole goes pretty deep within the ORM industry itself it appears. A lot of the "major" reputation management companies even advertise on their own websites that ONLY THEY have a "special" relationship with certain gossip/rumor/exposed websites like these types of websites. They suggest that if you use their services, they are the only ORM company that will not just suppress the negative results in Google, they will get it removed completely.

Also, as mentioned by someone else, most of these gossip websites have big banners advertising reputation management services: "DO YOU SEE YOUR NAME AND PICTURE ON THIS WEBSITE?! WE WILL GET IT REMOVED FOR $2,000! CLICK HERE NOW". Gee I wonder if the reputation management service and the gossip-website are connected in any way at all? My question is, IF this is being done, how is this being done exactly to avoid extortion laws etc? I would assume they are seperate business entities, hosted in "weird" countries, etc as a start?

Looking for tips for your next venture, GTFO!!
 
If something does happen to Drew, there are more than a couple of you in this thread who've incriminated yourselves to the point where I would expect the FBI to come knocking. You've also opened yourselves up to being sued.

Good luck bros.
