Comment on Perry Belcher Arrest by Internet Lawyer

Congratulations on your membership in the Perry Belcher Criminal Fan Club.
Kindly provide the factual basis for your claims.
In what universe is selling fake medicines to sick people “legit” or “ethical”?
Perhaps it was his fake Twitter following?
Or maybe his fake career as a hot dog vendor?
So much fraud it’s hard to keep track of it except to assume that when Perry speaks or writes something, he’s probably lying.
The only public service that Perry Belcher could do at this point would be to follow in the footsteps of fellow con man Don Lapre.

Perry’s a legit marketer, and teaches people how to ETHICALLY conduct business online. He’s been marketing online for quite a while, now, and has helped many others to do the same.

Wow John,
that is really fascinating and until Mike posted about it, I had never even thought about it. You are soooooo right! Do you have any tutorials demonstrating how to encrypt email on a virtual private server?

Comment on Single mom’s life turned upside down by costly Internet mistake by Airport Rentals

Airport Rentals — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:41:19 +0000

Regarding the downloading of copyrighted material from the internet without paying for it, this seems to be a very contentious issue at the moment and politicians are struggling to decide which side of the fence they should be seen to be on. The law, quite fairly, says that such material should be paid for – how else is an artist supposed to make his or her living? However, big institutions which are seen as a “force for good” such as Wikipedia appear to be disagreeing, which is causing those with political careers trying to impose the law, pause for thought. The internet is a world with no precedents to fall back on and it will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Comment on Will Hackers’ War Against Scientology Cult Succeed? by nano porns

nano porns — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:29:28 +0000

In fact, Lakhani’s analysis, written before the hackers released their video, raises an interesting possibility. If publicizing persecution is a way to attract members to a cult, this hacker video indirectly promotes Scientology.
Good, Thanks.

Comment on Court rejects blogger’s claim to be a journalist by Dave Zan

Hey Mike, been a long while.

I couldn’t help but read more about this when this came out. Subsequently I saw two articles that might be of interest:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2011/12/07/investment-firm-awarded-2-5-million-after-being-defamed-by-blogger/

Thanks for blogging on the subject as well, especially on a lawyer’s POV.

Comment on Hewlett Packard: Don’t Buy HP Computers by Trina

Trina — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 07:58:43 +0000

I have recently bought a HP Compaq Presario laptop through Tescos. The price was amazing for such a high specification. However, the whole package has been spoilt by a clunky touchpad which is really difficult to use. If you do not apply exactly the right finger-pressure and speed of movement, it is very “hit and miss” and using it successfully is quite an art. The laptop great in every other respect and I think it is a real shame that it has been let down by one component which probably costs a few pence. I have considered returning it but the problem is intermittant and with skill the touchpad is “fit for purpose”. I just cannot face the possibility of months of wrangling and I guess it was a bargain.

Comment on Fake Internet Yellow Pages Scam Shut Down by Anonymous

Anonymous — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:56:51 +0000

There is a business out of Florida running essentially the same scam. They call small businesses, claiming to be affiliated with the Yellow Pages, and ask them to confirm their address so they can continue their listing. They then send a large bill to that address. Try to cancel, and they’ll call you back claiming that your cancellation was only for last year and you still owe them for the current year’s services, and so on… The phone number is 888-***-3506. If you call, the person who answers claims to be “Corporate Office.” They will claim to be “a third party outsourced customer service company,” called “Intel Solutions”
Of course they are really Yellow Business Ads…

Comment on Julius Genachowski: FCC Chairman Mao Jumps The Shark by Internet Lawyer

Internet Lawyer — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:10:15 +0000

Bipartisan disregard for the rule of law doesn’t make it right.

As for Genachowski’s qualifications, Benjamin Franklin’s quote comes to mind…”He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages, so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.”

Comment on Julius Genachowski: FCC Chairman Mao Jumps The Shark by Bennet Kelley

Bennet Kelley — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:25:29 +0000

Oh my god, Genachowski codified net neutrality principles adopted by Republican FCC Chairman Powell and then enforced by Republican FCC Chairman Martin (who is the one the DC Circuit slapped, not Genachowski) that industry almost agreed to in the summer of 2010. How radical is that?

As for dopey and unfit, Genachowski graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, clerked for Supreme Court Justices Brennan and Souter and was the FCC’s Chief Counsel during the Clinton administration.

Comment on Copyright Infringement Liability and Your IP Address by Darren Chaker

Darren Chaker — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:57:09 +0000

Good site. I agree, IP’s are often touted as the key in many cases, however some people use anonymous proxies, free WiFi, or simply drive through a neighborhood looking for unprotected wireless connections. These are good defenses and it’s often up to the defendant to prove he/she did not do what is alleged. Darren Chaker

Comment on How to retain a Dallas web business lawyer you want by Internet Lawyer

Internet Lawyer — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:54:19 +0000

Thank you, Mark, for your input. I fully agree with you that a Dallas web business lawyer should know SEO and other key aspects of the niche one represents.

Comment on How to retain a Dallas web business lawyer you want by Mark Mason

Mark Mason — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:26:21 +0000

It strikes me that you might also want a dallas web business lawyer that understands SEO (apparent from this article), social media (how I found this article) and mailing lists (how I found the twitter account).

Clearly, having a Dallas web business lawyer that actually has a successful web-based business in Dallas has got to be a strong consideration when making a selection, don’t you think?

Regards,
Mark
