Let's discourage those here from stooping to that level.  I don't think we need to make stuff up about this guy.  I'm pretty sure he'd be unhappy if we just told the truth about him. 

Maybe the truth about how he reflects on his wife and kids.  He went there.  It may be crossing line to go after family, but he went there first.  We'd at least be truthful about it. 

He came at me out of the blue.  I'm led to believe that social media is ripe with images and data about his family.  Has he published that apology yet?

Believe me Stinger, there is already more than enough information that is all true and supported by documentation out there. We have never stooped to the level of making stuff up, going after innocent people or attacking family members, never have so far.

If it is one thumb nail image I would make sure the image is removed from your blog and server then just ignore the letters.

I agree with Matthew, I don't see Masterfile using these two either for an actual lawsuit.  Same reason Getty would never use Mr. McCormack.

But Linda can be happy with her distorted little digs on me, Robert, and April on the Miami-Herald article comment section. I may yet post a rebuttal on Miami Herald but it just hasn't been a high priority.

I was thinking about that article today.  Since Mr. Albrizio and Robert were both covered in the original maybe they would be interested in a follow up article on how Mr. Albrizio operates.  The threats he has made against Robert, Oscar's response the threats to letter recipients etc.

Well said Matthew, I think you sum it up nicely.  Also the more Joel-sica keeps at it the more coverage VOJF, Joel-sica  and Adlife Marketing gets.  Stories that don't go away get coverage and the longer they go on the more coverage they get and the more outlets pick up the story. All the evidence, albeit circumstantial, points to Joel-sica. It started out with Adlife Marketing and CEO Joel Albrizio just being covered by CRT. Then Mr. Albrizio called Robert and threatened him on the phone with the “You are a sick bastard!”, “I am going to destroy you!”, “Your life will be ruined!” and “You have no idea what’s coming!” statements.  After that and VOJF popped up coverage was picked up on ELI, Copyright Anti-BullyingAct, GettyImagesMustChange and DieTrollDie.  I wouldn't be surprised to see more people start reporting on it before long.

I do commend Robert for not bringing in Mr. Albrizio's family, business associates, customers etc into it after all the failed attacks on his family.  ELI and related sites have never done that. I think it also helps that the VOJF posts are so laughable and *ANYONE* who looks at it objectively will see it for what it is.

It's all good Peeved, you know I love ya.  I was just saying I disagreed (respectfully) with you and was listing the reasons why.  I will say the more I thought about all the crap Lida Ellis had done and does to her victims the more it got me going.  If it came across as yelling or scolding, it was not my intention and I apologise my friend.  :)

It is interesting to me that as per Ellis' comment on CRT, she seems to feel that someone going after "family members" or "innocents" is "someone with a backbone". Robert is correct in stating that no one ever did such a thing to Albrizio or Ellis with this regard.

Although Ellis did not do what Jessy/Joel is doing, she did have her own "extremes" such as filing a "bogus" PPO against Matthew. There were plenty of "falsehoods" in that whole fiasco for sure.


While I now too tend to believe Linda, that she was not involved I do disagree with your statement above Peeved.  Here is why, I think she did go to the same place Joel-ica is going.

In her attempts to silence April for reporting on her business model:

1) Linda Ellis sent emails to her husband's work place trying to get him fired.

2)  Linda Ellis took out Google Ads that would appear if someone searched for April's Charity Auction business or April and appear to be from April.  When clicked on it took you to a smear page full of lies and twisted facts then offered links and phone numbers to April's competitors. There have been at least 5 google campaigns I am aware of and have screen captures of.

3) If I remember correctly Linda Ellis also tried to contact some of April's clients

4) Linda Ellis filed false DMCA takedown requests against ELI and I believe Robert.

5)  As you mentioned Linda Ellis filed a false stalking charge against Matthew by only taking a few sentences out of a many page statement and use it to obtain a temporary and then permanent PPO.  Which BTW one of the Justices at the GA Supreme court even chastised  Ellis's team on this saying if you read the WHOLE thing and in context there is no threat.

6)  Once Linda Ellis had a PPO against Matthew because she was "in fear of her life from him" she started creating and publishing all kinds of things like the video (again it was a 40+ min video and she snips a few minutes and taken in context it is obvious that Matthew is venting about the things that Linda has done to him and issues language warnings at the start) and uses them to taunt Matthew knowing he can't respond without violating his PPO.  What true victim in fear of their life taunts the person they came they are in fear of?

7) When I started reporting on my site Linda Ellis's response was to attempt to post comments on my businesses website blog, FB page, Twitter and Youtube accounts along with a link to her snippet video trying to get to my customers. 

I could go on and but this is why I do think she is like Joel-ica and why I initially thought she was helping Joel-ica because the tactics were so similar.

53
I got home tonight all set to give my two cents the Ms. Ellis comment but I think Robert and Matthew covered all the points I wanted to make.  I will just reiterate two things.
1) I do tend to believe her statement that the only thing she did was make a comment, I felt that was sincere.
2) I am still amazed at how she can still continue to make statements like Robert said the word in question when ANYONE watching it can see he never says it.

I think the lesson to learn from this is that unless you purchase the rights to an image, take the picture yourself or it is a public domain image someone owns the rights to it. 

I would STRONGLY  suggest that if you have ANY other images on your site(s) that do not meet the above qualifications you remove them immediately, also from your server and the wayback machine.  You can purchase good quality images for just a few bucks from reputable image companies like POND5.com.   

What you do will depend on your ability to deal with this.  Yes, you will get calls (which Matthew has already told you how to handle) and letters, all the information you need is here in articles and the knowledge base of it's members but it all comes down to you and how well you can handle it.  Some go silent, some fight and some pay just to make it go away.  You have to decide what is best for you.

55
I would not mention anything about the free site, it doesn't matter where you got the image.  The only way talking about that might help you is if you went to court to show it was an innocent infringement and not a willful one.  Just my opinion.

It's good to see this thread active again Greg.  Welcome back into the ARENA.

You can thank Vanessa Bouchara for it but either way glad to be back.

I have an update, I did receive (somewhat of) an apology from Vanessa Bouchara of Cabinet Bouchara - Avocat in the form of an email saying your apology is in the mail.  I informed her that while I accept her apology I am not dropping the matter until I receive an apology from her client Getty Images as well.  I informed her without the apology from Getty I plan to start filing complaints again over the attempted censorship of First Amendment rights.

All the letters back and forth are documented here:

Thought for the day...

Joel Albrizio of Adlife Marketing would seemingly benefit should copyright-trolls.com suddenly disappear from the web (not that it will happen anytime soon). Hmmmm...just my opinion.

I agree with you Peeved but generally if something like that were to happen from what I have seen, if one site goes down and all the underlying information is true and factual then one or two sites will pick up the torch or new sites emerge.  It is imperative that information about these questionable business models and copyright trolls be reported on so when people receive these demand letters they have a place to find the information that they need.  Thank goodness for sites like ELI, Copyright-Trolls, Fight Copyright Trolls, DieTrollDie and others who keep the information out there for those who need it.
