Do you realize what you just said?

"$75,000 judgement against you that you need to declare bankruptcy he'll take that"

The problem with this statement is, if you file BK, he gets nothing, and I personally
have debt in excess of $100k but coming after me would not be cost effective.


This guy is using the legal system to his advantage, the problem is his
victims are not using the legal system to their advantage, some are giving up,
then again, maybe they should, but this company seems to be worth a lot
of money, and money means a lawsuit against him worth fighting.

From what I understand, you would register your domain with the US copyright so
it would make it easy for people to contact with DMCA notices, so the govt is
basicly saying your site will be protected if you register your site, and you must
be given fair notice and opportunity to remove content in violation before
the party could file a lawsuit against you/your site, and if you do not have this
US copyright protection, then you are fair game of at will lawsuits...he is
saying if those other sites would have paid this fee, then their outcomes would
have been much different as they would have had to notify them and give
them fair opportunity before they could file a lawsuit in other words those
websites he sued did not have us copyright protection.

copyright.gov appears to be legit.

1: only government can use *.gov domains
2: domain is PR9
3: domain has 1.2m+ backlinks

If this is a fraud domain, then he is doing a good job, and if
caught would spend a lifetime in jail taking money on the governments behalf.

To be honest with you, this site truly deserves to be sued for fraud:

I have found several complaints regarding this scam site.
