An interesting lawsuit against me
Anyways, here's what happened.
I was in the process of ranking a site for the term acne treatment.
I noticed a hardcore spammer on the first page ranking number one with scrapebox blasting and crappy spamdexing links. So I reported him.
Didn't think anything of it.
Then his site didn't come up. So I checked it for a Google penalty.
They manually dropped his site in the rankings. HOLY CRAP!
Anyways...
I left a comment on his site kinda loling at him. Like ha you got banned lol.
SOMEHOW. Don't ask me how. He traced that down to one of my money sites...perhaps I accidentally entered a real e-mail address? WHO KNOWS!!
Anyways.
Somehow he found a few of my money sites.
And by a few I mean like 15 of them on a shared hosting account. Don't worry, only one or two actually make any money ...
And now he is threatening to subpoena them and shut them down for spamming his site.
Here are some facts:
1. I never spammed his site. He did and I just reported it, so I haven't done anything illegal.
2. This guy openly admitted he wasn't really going to put a case through but thought if he could bring it under criminal investigation, he can get control of my sites for a few months pending investigation that I was spamdexing his site.
3. I was stupid for leaving a comment on his site. So don't tell me I was stupid. I already know that.
4. My host basically said there is almost no chance he will get a court warrant because the grid I'm on is shared by 20 or 30 other users on the same static IP. So proving I did anything would be almost impossible, even if there were evidence, which there isn't.
Question: is this guy an idiot? Or does anyone think he honestly has a case?
I am backing up my files and transferring any important domains to Canadian or UK servers to make sure he can't get his grubby mitts on them.
In the meantime, what do you guys think? Anyone had a similar experience?
