ImHotep folks,
I'm here today to thank Mr. Jingus for raising some Red flags in my
mind.
I didn't really believe him back on the day he posted what he said
above. So I contacted Network Solutions, the people who sold me the
URL'S and asked them if I was in compliance with the law doing what I
said I intended to do with these two sites.
Some woman named Jan, assured me that I could use them as I liked
since I had paid for them, and they were open at the time I requested
them. I did not call Prepaid Legal as I said I had because there
didn't seem to be any need to do that. Network Solutions is supposed
to know these things; not me.
Anyway, I received a letter from the WTA attorneys last Friday, asking
me to stop using those two sites as I was in violation of what Jingus
had said I was violating.
So now I call prepaid legal for sure. I got a call from them just now.
I sent them all the paperwork yesterday pertaining to the matter.
So the attorney called me an hour ago and informed me that I was wrong
and the WTA was right.
She said it was in my best interests to immediately cease and desist
using the sites as I was in violation of Federal law.
Can you imagine that? I remember ten or fifteen years ago when people
had website URL's that were close to big cor****ations, the
cor****ations paid BIG money to buy them away. I guess that loop hole
has been closed. As usual, I'm a week late, and a hundred thousand
dollars short.
Then I turn on my television and see some Caucasian who stole
$420,00,000, parked his car on the bridge, wrote a suicide letter on
the hood, and then disappeared to who knows where to enjoy his life
with the money he stole from Americans who trusted him
Yet he is looked upon as a hero by MOST Americans.
While I, a fourteen year Air Force veteran, honorable service all the
way, university graduate, never done drugs, no felonies in my
background, don't hate anyone because of their skin color, or religion
get kicked around merciless online and offline.
Oh well,
I'm finally understanding the term "Nice guys finish last" It is
definitely true, for the most part, in this country.
Anyway, thanks Jingus for taking the time to warn me.
I also want to apologize to the WTA for any inconveniences I may have
caused them. :-(( I appreciate the manner and spirit in which they
contacted me.I will call Network Solutions in a few minutes and tell
them to shutdown the two web sites that I bought the same
day/week/night that they changed to their new site.
So! How much did all of this advice cost me from PPL?
Seventeen dollars! that's all. I get unlimited legal advice on any
matter personal, or business, for the price of my monthly member****p.
It's not that Jingus didn't know what he was talking about because he
did.
The fact remains, I don't let complete strangers online handle legal
matters for me.
Try and go to an attorney in your city, fax them al the stuff I had to
send them and will be sending in a few minutes. Spend about 45 minutes
on the phone discussing the matter with them, and then see if the bill
they send you is only $17.00 :-0
So you were here for the beginning of this problem and hopefully you
are here to see how it ended.
PrePaid Legal Forever!!
