Good day all!
As some of you know, I used to have a small site called "eight" with the domain "eightlegs.org".
I kept my hosting, but not the domain, and was working on a total (and sorely needed) reworking of the entire site, including a new address.
Unfortunately, whoever bought my domain apparently (and incorrectly) felt that it entitled him or her to every page on the site, every photo, every character, table, period, and background color.
In short, he or she stole the whole deal, and put ridiculous ad space all over it.
Finding out who did it requires a subpoena to GoDaddy.com, as the person (s) who bough the domain registered through them, and they are choosing to be protective of a criminal.
I'm in the process of seeking prosecution and reward for damages, but would rather avoid the tedium. If the person responsible for this gross copyright infringement would simply step forward, plead ignorance, and remove every bit of my material, all is well and good. And no, I do not wish to be extorted in buying the domain name "eightlegs" back. Any attempt at suggesting such silliness will result in very bad things indeed- my characteristic mellow will not be so yellow.
Anyway, the registrant of the domain eightlegs.org is a live.co.uk address. I don't know the exact registrant yet, but I'll get ahold of whomever it is sooner than later. Any leads that make me less angry when I get to the violator are sincerely appreciated.
Thanks!
