  1. Apparently the pair are back in business......well attempting to extort business anyway. Just received a second notecard (identical to 1st). Also received an IM from another Foulsbane that had also received the notecard and wondered what we should do. AR'd the pair of them, including a screen shot of the full notecard, and a link to the earlier time in 2010 when they attempted the same thing.
  2. Yep that is the exact notecard that was sent today prior to me logging in. 4 years later....
  3. So wait... This guy and his female offshoot are serial losers? I think it is called mental illness when you get this obsessive over something, particularly a name.
  4. Hi Qie, yeah you are right. The notecard is created by him, and sent out by an object created by her. So wait, these ninnies are trying to intimidate people over something from 2010? Don't they have lives...........or even hobbies? Sad really, almost feel sorry for people so stuck in the past and so obsessive..... almost. But don't. I call this bizarre! I may make an account and go post this latest piece of stupidity for their amusement.
  5. Thank you for the replies. I was pretty sure he had no legal leg to stand on and were trying to use bully-boy tactics to get hits for his obviously failing business. But wanted to check for sure. I did report them as I believe that this form of behaviour is unacceptable, and possibly breaking TOS itself. To Tiffy, oh I am absolutely sure my Countess trumps any commoner name :womanwink: I am pretty sure he is trying it on all the Foulsbanes (the notecard was sent today as I got the email message for it). Also is sending it to all avatars with his First name as well. I really hope none are intimidated and fall for this scam. My main still plays on a daily basis and this is the first time I have heard of anything like this happening. I would hope it is the last also. hugs to everyone that replied xoxoxox
  6. So today I log in to SL for the first time in several months to find a notecard with the following (I have removed the identifying name with xxxx): Dear [xxxxx or Foulsbane] My name is xxxxxx Foulsbane ©. You are hereby notified that your account name is infringing on my intellectual property for which I own copyright. "You may not select as your Account Name any name that Linden Lab determines may cause deception or confusion; may violate any trademark right, copyright, or other proprietary right or mislead other users regarding your identity or affiliation." http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php "3.2 You agree to use an Account Name in Second Life that is not misleading, offensive or infringing. You are responsible for activities related to your Account Name, and for keeping your password for this Account secure. You may not select as your Account Name any name that Linden Lab determines may cause deception or confusion; may violate any trademark right, copyright, or other proprietary right or mislead other users regarding your identity or affiliation;" You have three options. (Option One) We can settle this together. The problem is that other users may be confused or mislead that you are connected to my (product name of some unheard of thing) This will cause my business financial loss as well as loss to the secondlife community due to the denied access to an extremely beneficial algorithm that speeds up rez time. The solution for me to allow your continued use of my copyright, is for you to come to my store and create a new pick linking to the (product name) in your profile so that users may find it. This pick must be at the TOP of your picks page on your profile, and must read exactly as the top pick in my profile does. (Option Two) Login to your account at http://Secondlife.com Click "Account" on the top left of the page. Click "Cancel Account" and confirm. (Option Three) I will file a DMCA with Linden Labs against your account. I will subpoena your real life personal information from Linden Labs. Then I will file a class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against anyone that uses my Intellectual Property in their account name. You will be required to appear in person or I will win my case by default. I will sue for damages times ten, attorney fees, and financial loss of my business. I will be automatically checking your (and other accounts) profile picks in mass with a program. Failure to post my pick at the top of your profile picks page will be considered a violation and I will take FULL legal action against you to the maximum amount the law will allow. I have hopes that we can work this out to both of our benefit. Sincerely, xxxxx Foulsbane Now since the surname Foulsbane was available circa 2008, and there was indeed 1672 avatars given that surname I would consider this notecard to be harrasment and making threats. I find it impossible to believe that a person can copyright a legitimate LL surname. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is in fact possible? I have absolutely NO intention of creating a pick in my profile to some product I have never even heard of linked to what I can only say based on this notecard is a shady type of business. Nor do I have any intention of deleting this account regardless of the fact that I rarely log in nowdays.
