I'm Being Sued !?!?!! Ha Ha Ha, Funny Shit - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Where I am located, I am looking for a house and almost everyone is in one of those damn communities and like 60% are cookie cutter houses (ie the builder built the EXACT same house all down the whole street) I hate it sooo much! I don't want to get lost on my own block and I dont want a home owner association to tell me I cant have parties, or ride a go kart in my back yard or have a home business.... fuck off Home owner associations! I dont want your community gyms, and community pools and club houses!!!!!

But seriously... Why would you ever use your real address? Just have it set private, its only like $5 more or free depending on where you get your domains so just do it! Even my 2257 info isn't for me, I pay someone to hold all that shit and use their name and address.

I dont see them winning this but you should really just change it and problem solved. I am pretty sure they just ask for your address, not specifically business address. If I registered a domain like bacardisfamilyreunion.com for my family reunion photos... umm there isnt going to be a business address to register it to, I think they just want your address. So just because the domains are registered there isnt proof you have a home business.

i would just phone and say that you had not updated as you do not run the sites but just own the names, and you have no idea what they are used for.

but you will (or have) updated the whois info.

in fact you could even say the domains are not yours. but you found out that a friend registered the domains at your address without you knowing, and you have got him to change the whois info (that way your not admitting to anything).

wow

Just say you have so many domain names that you must have overlooked them when updating your info after moving house and thank them for telling you.

That's basically what happened.

And yes, thanks to all who are STILL posting about me not updating whois, private registration, etc. etc. Like I've pointed out earlier it was just laziness (updating whois) and the private registration I have on some domains but I have dozens of others that are/were just throw-aways so just didn't bother.

Not sure why I would have used my home address when I registered in the first place but lesson learned.

This is about as ridiculous and frivolous as any claim can get and since I have no personal addresses listed on any sites I can only assume they mean the domain registration. Anyhow the letter:

The (condominium) Corporation has become aware that you are the administrator/webmaster of certain pornographic websites. (Lists several web sites). Each of these sites lists you as webmaster and lists your contact address as (my former address). Accordingly, we have been instructed to require immediate removal of references to addresses with the property of the Corporation, or any other associations with the property of the Corporation, from certain websites of which you are the the administrator/webmaster.

Your use of the address of the Unit may expose the owner or occupant of the Unit, or other residents of the Corporation, to unwanted contact from third parties. Further, your use of the address of the Unit may act to associate the occupant or other residents or the Corporation itself with your websites and your personal business.

... The fact that you have no right to use the address in the manner in which it is being used, its continued use on your websites is defamatory and may occasion occupants and residents from being victims of nuisance. You may also be responsible for any diminution in property values owing to the association of the Unit with your personal business.

We also note that your use of the Unit as a base of operations for your website was contrary to the Declaration of the Corporation ... "each of the Dwelling Units shall be occupied and used only as a private single family residence and for no other purpose ..."

Lawyer Dude

-- So I was thinking about how to respond. Perhaps sending a letter back saying "Fuck you, sue me" or maybe putting the address of the lawyer and his firm in the contact info on the domains? Probably get another letter

There is a lot of " may " words in there. They aren't claiming you did any damage but that you may if you don't remove it. I don't think they can sue you for damages that "may" happen.

Why fuck with it, if you don't live there any more just update your domains. If you want to waste time then start a website with condo's name and do something legally to make them look stupid, I am sure you could get creative but why waste the time ?
