Doteasy Hosting, and Copyright Issues

It is sad to report that Doteasy.com has finally responded to our complaint of copyright infringement, and shown no intention to cooperate. My third email to the company, threatening legal action, finally received a response -- obviously a template response. Essentially, unless we sue the owners of the website in question and send a copy of the legal papers to Doteasy, they will not pull down the site.

First of all, an earlier email of mine not only plainly stated the infringements, but gave the hosting company exact links to each offending page. Second, this site is being used to defraud citizens of the United States and the UK; by refusing to pull it down after being so notified, Doteasy.com has just become an accomplice to this fraud. Third, the site owners used fake names and addresses, and hence, it is NOT POSSIBLE to directly contact them and sue them.

Although we respect the right of Doteasy.com to protect their clients and to give them the benefit of the doubt, this is a very poor decision on their part. Our attorney will be contacting them on our behalf, and further action will be pursued. In their attempt to give their customer the benefit of the doubt, they are allowing them to continue abusing SharpNET by their blatant theft of our copyright-protected website content, and are aiding and abetting in an international fraud scheme. Monster.com and other job boards, upon learning of the situation, immediately pulled the links and job listings. It's unfortunate that Doteasy.com did not see fit to do the same.

Again, we caution everyone to beware of InsyncSoft, a website using stolen content which is perpetrating fraud. And we also advise caution in all dealings with Doteasy.com, who has proved themselves less than ethical.
