This came to me on one of my lists. Thought it would be a good idea to pass
this on!

I have filed a complaint with the Iowa Consumer Protection which is in the
Iowa Attorney General's office.
I asked that they accept my email as a formal complaint since this firm has
the potential to harm many in a short period of time.
Their email address is consumer(a)ag.state.ia.us <consumer(a)ag.state.ia.us>
Please write to them and let them know what is going on. So prompt action
can be taken. I have also sent this request to all the lists I am on.

Mr. Campbell,
There is a site on your servers that is breaking copyright and fraud laws.
The domain name is
familydiscovery.com, and the IP address
is128.121.230.66.
Chances are you will be receiving alot of emails regarding this
thievery.
He is stealing data from other websites and CHARGING people to look at
these
FREE websites.
Proof: The webpage of his located at
http://128.121.230.66/Records/states/georgia.htm
Lists several different URL's, none of which is his. One of them is Butts
County marriages from Microfilm. That is on MY USgenweb site, and is NOT
FOR SALE to any organization. He did not ask if he could link to me, much
less CHARGE people to click on that link! He is even stealing data from
the
National Archives and Records Administration, (I'm sending them a
copy of
this as well) from his north carolina page.
http://128.121.230.66/Records/states/northcarolina.htm
These pages are NOT his work. Never have been. Never will be. He is
committing fraud by misrepresenting this data as his own. He charges a
fee
of $49.95 to "join" his webpage so you can view this data.
As soon as I
can, I'll be adding the following to all my pages:
IF YOU HAVE ARRIVED HERE THRU
FAMILYDISCOVERY.COM THEY ARE BREAKING THE
LAW.
THIS PAGE IS FREE FOR ALL TO USE, AND ANY CHARGE IS SIMPLY
FRAUDULENT.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY EMAILING TERESA(a)MARO.NET and then I will add a Break
away link.
This is unacceptable, and your company is opening itself up for lawsuits
with you allowing your customers to break the law. I've not found your
website to view your terms of service, but I can tell you that by allowing
your customers to break the law it puts you in a precarious situation. I
am
keeping a copy of this email, and please, let me know when or if you
are
taking action.
He has already been removed from another server for breaking the law, and
thinks genealogists will just allow him to move from server to until WE
get
tired of checking on him. He is totally wrong. As you probably
know, he
hasn't even completed the full propogation process because when I go to
the
IP it goes to your servers. If I go to the domain name it's
going to his
old one. Also, so you know, he has given inaccurate registration
information for his Domain name registration, so noone can contact him
directly.
