This attorney SEIZED massive online content, blogs, domain names and engaged in a massive campaign to attack his former client, and all to teach her a lesson for not doing what he told her, and to ''try'' and stop her from talking online about him and his law firm.
Can you imagine an outspoken Free Speech attorney attacking a blogger to suppress her speech, stealing domain names and claiming Trademark Violations on blogs that gripe about him?
It is seriously unethical to use Trademark Law in order to take online content, chill speech, suppress speech and STOMP on the First Amendment Rights of someone you don't like talking about you. ,
In order to like something, someone, some company or express dislike or any opinion about them AT ALL, You would have to use the name of the company, doctor, lawyer, CPA, or whatever that person is.
An ALLEGED expert in this area would know that suing someone that is talking about them online and claiming Trademark is wrong, is not lawful and is certainly on the wrong side of the moral compass.
This attorney seized online content through a TRO, in which, flat out STOLE intellectual property, search engine placement, and the work of another without ANY First Amendment adjudication in any way. And Judge Gloria Navarro of the District of Nevada let this happen and let those sites, blogs, and domain names be redirected to a blog post hating, defaming, and painting in false light, this same former client.
How does this RADICAL LAWLESSNESS HAPPEN?
Well First you need an attorney with lot's of connections and no morals or ethics, like say a Porn Attorney, that is an expert in First Amendment Law.
Take a Look at the Docket below as you clearly see a gang of attorneys attack blogger Crystal Cox in order to attempt to silence her, chill her speech, all without ANY adjudicated fact.
Attorney Marc Randazza used Trademark Laws, an Unconstitutional TRO and a gang of attorney bloggers to destroy the life, reputation, legal cases, and business of his target, in this case his former client Blogger Crystal Cox who stood up to him.
