Either the trolls went away, or we're gonna get hit with another wave of letters, my money is on the latter...

For anyone who might be curious, my attention has been temporarily turned away to a public Hollywood extortion case relating to the "Bachelor" TV series. I am running the PR campaign to stop the lawsuit. However, I am still doing ELI support calls for people who need help.

You caught me.  It will become even more obvious of my auditioning attempts when I do my videos.  And believe me I have a lot to say on the matter.

This whole thing has generated HUGE unprecedented numbers for the ELI website and many more people know about what we do BEFORE someone gets an extortion letter. Typically, people learn about us AFTER someone gets an extortion letter.

But despite the HUGE numbers, those folks don't come into the forums.  They might peek in but most don't understand what we do.  It's sort of funny. We have one website but two sets of people hanging out in two totally different online areas.

Poor buddhapi is having to pull double-duty jumping back and for between Hollywood extortion areas and the ELI Forums and we all know the spectacular pay I lavish on him. He just lets me keep pushing him around. I will never quite understand it. LOL.

It's very simple Matt, I have my business, and no other life to speak of except ELI!

That picture looks like a "South Park" character!! lol.

Which reminds me.  "Copyright Trolling" would make a great a "South Park" episode.
Cartman could start a "Stock Imagery / Trolling" business (Getty), and Kyle's dad "Mr Broflovski" could play the part of McCormack (“extortion  letter” lawyer).  Token can play the "Process Server".

Buddhapi can be played by “Darryl Weathers” (the “they took our ‘jerbs” guy):

Matt can be played by the “City Wok Guy” who saves the day:

Not that quiet. Just received a letter today from them. I paid a company back in 2004 for my website and I would have never have thought anything of any of the images they used as being copyrighted. I always thought the photos were super generic.

I took all of the pictures down as soon as I read the letter. They are asking me for 2500 for 3 images that I didnt even know I was using. LOL! I will rebuild my site and ignore them.

Not sure if I should respond. I dont think I should waste my time with them. Maybe I am wrong to ignore?
