The William Morris Agency shuts down boycott-hollywood web site. Figures.

[TommyDale]

How can they do this legally? Was someone libelled, or slandered? I was under the impression that public figures are open game, within reasonable boundaries.

You certainly won't see Hollywood shutting down 'Democratic Underwear'.

There's a chill wind a-blowin'...

William Morris Agency uses legal manuvers to shut down boycott-hollywood.com

From boycott-hollywood.com

Well, folks - it's been a blast and it's been fun.

Apparently, our domain registrar (namesdirect.com - subsidiary of Dotster.com) have caved to the pressures of the William Morris Agency giant. On April 29, 2003, Dotster.com received a letter from the William Morris Agency in regards to this website. Their complaint accused us of liable and potentially other civil and criminal offenses.

This is another fine example of how Hollywood feels that their opinion and view is the only one that matters. Average citizens are disallowed the free expression of our point of view because they don't like being challenged for their views. I stand firm on the belief that we have done nothing wrong at this website - - The celebrities have expressed their views, and we have responded in kind by expressing our views regarding the thoughts and ideas that they have, publicly, expressed.

Dotster.com has suspended our update information at this domain and have informed us that the DNS information of this domain has been changed and the website will be down within the next 24 hours and our contract with them is now null and void. They are doing this because we did not provide accurate contact information in their public database.

We should all go to the Dotster site and tell them what we think about their caving

"Well, call me skeptical...When there is casualties of war, there is a selected group of Airmen, Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors that escort remains to the final destination. Most are enlisted. Officers are designated to inform the family of the deceased. It is unlikely that the family can make such a request for a cousin to escort during the situations at hand. The Cousin may meet with the escort at the final destination and take posession. During War, I would suspect that a Marine Major wouldn't be escorting HR, even if it is a cousin."

When I err, I like to err on the side of skepticism.

However, I've had more than twelve years in dealing with Mortuary Affairs in the military (it was an ancillary duty) and I can tell you from first-hand experience it is entirely within DoD guidelines to have a NOK (next of kin) from another branch of service accompany the remains to the interment site.

Happens all the time.

>>>'Democratic Underwear'.

LOL!!

[jmc813]

I don't understand why thy can't just get a new domain name service if the DN still belongs to them for 24 more hours.

Sorry guys, post# 5 was for another thread.

How can someone do this on an accusation alone? There's got to be more to the story.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Don't sweat it - I mean, we WERE talking about the Death of Hollywood - only question is, who will escort ITS remains to the interment site?

[JennysCool]

Sorry guys, post# 5 was for another thread.

Yeah, but it kinda made this one more interesting! :-)

"How can someone do this on an accusation alone? There's got to be more to the story."

That "someone" is not just "anyone."

You have are now an eye-witness to the mafia-styled underhanded dealings and cutthroat tactics of Hollyweed!

The thugs throw their muscle around like this on a daily basis.

This may get interesting... (let's hope so).

[Reeses]

They're still online right now: http://www.boycott-hollywood.us/

[barbarianbabs]

It should be called the Napoleon and Snowball Agency. Some pigs are more equal than others.

[lilylangtree]

Another example of the power exerted by the Hollyweirdo elite to shut off avenues of opinion by the general public whose patronage makes the elite.

[TommyDale]

Upon reading the actual letter of complaint, it appears that the site published actual names and email addresses. So why not just remove the listed addresses? Or retain an attorney and counter-sue the William Morris Agency and their attorneys for harassment?

hey hollywood....listen up!!  you do not speak for me!!

Our own personal wind chill  (Follywood)

Well, folks - it's been a blast and it's been fun.

Apparently, our domain registrar (namesdirect.com - subsidiary of Dotster.com) have caved to the pressures of the William Morris Agency giant. On April 29, 2003, Dotster.com received a letter from the William Morris Agency in regards to this website. Their complaint accused us of liable and potentially other civil and criminal offenses.

This is another fine example of how Hollywood feels that their opinion and view is the only one that matters. Average citizens are disallowed the free expression of our point of view because they don't like being challenged for their views. I stand firm on the belief that we have done nothing wrong at this website - - The celebrities have expressed their views, and we have responded in kind by expressing our views regarding the thoughts and ideas that they have, publicly, expressed.

Dotster.com has suspended our update information at this domain and have informed us that the DNS information of this domain has been changed and the website will be down within the next 24 hours and our contract with them is now null and void. They are doing this because we did not provide accurate contact information in their public database.

When I explained that the reason we did not provide accurate contact information is because we have received multiple death threats and I did not wish for just anyone to have my personal information - and asked them for suggestions on what to do - Dotster was unmoved. They did not give me the chance to update the information with accurate information and keep the domain. That's not an option - - they are just simply going to shut down our domain - no explanation needed.

Further questioning of Dotster brought me a copy of the letter sent to them by the William Morris Agency and reads as follows:

We, in fact, recieved no such email from the William Morris Agency.

I can say only this - - the fact that we're being shut down because of the William Morris Agency tells me that we truly touched a raw nerve in someone, somewhere. At the very least, it tells me that our message was recieved by the people that it was intended for. The very fact that we cannot express our opinions regarding the views of these stars/celebs shows me, yet again, the double standard that exists in Follywood.

Thank you all for your support at this website - it appears my hands are tied in keeping it open. Dotster will be closing down our site within the next 24-48 hours. I appreciate the hard work that Chris and Reilly have done at this site and appreciate the ongoing and intelligent, provoking discussions held here.

Warm Regards.
