CABALaw.org Wants to Help Dash Poem Demand Letter Victims for FREE!

Greg Troy of CABALaw.org is on a roll this week. He has made a stunning public offer to help victims of the Linda’s Lyrics / Dash Poem Extortion Letter for FREE. In Greg’s recent article titled: You Received Linda Ellis’ Dash Poem Settlement Demand Letter. Now What? Copyright Anti-Bullying Act Wants to Help. (As a side note, I created the The “Linda Ellis / Linda’s Lyrics / Dash Poem Copyright Infringement Letter” Resource Page that assembles various web resources for anyone needing information on the subject. Greg’s newest article has been added to that page.)

In his latest article, Greg outlines the major options every Linda’s Lyrics / Dash Poem extortion letter victim should consider. They include calming down and getting educated, then get mad and fight back with complaint letters, and finally getting qualified legal counsel. Both he and I highly recommend Oscar Michelen for legal representation. There is no lawyer more qualified to go up against Linda Ellis and her offensive and greedy copyright enforcement operation than Oscar. In fact, Oscar is currently my lead attorney in my legal battle against Linda Ellis herself to overturn a local court’s overreaching protective order.

What makes Greg unique from other solutions discussed by others (including myself) in the past is that he wants to spearhead a letter-writing campaign to the appropriate government agencies, namely the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection against the Dash Poem copyright enforcement operation. Greg has had good success with his efforts against Getty Images on ExtortionLetterInfo.com (ELI) with the ELI Forums. In fact, Greg holds the special distinction of leading “An Experiment Against Getty”, the longest single thread of discussion on ELI ever (currently at 18-pages). It all centered around his efforts to spearhead that letter-writing campaign against Getty Images and their girlie-lawyer, Timothy B. McCormack, which caused a great deal of annoyance and heartache for Getty Images. It is all entirely legal and a wonderful exercise in the First Amendment when angry people band together in a common cause to make public complaints about a much larger, more powerful, and legally threatening adversary.

Unfortunately, the Linda’s Lyrics / Dash Poem Letter Forum on the ELI Forums was ordered taken down in March 2013 (now being aggressively appealed with the Georgia Supreme Court), it would have hosted that online discussion. For now, Greg is taking this project on entirely independent of ELI resources.

Greg is often highly underestimated due to his low-key, diplomatic, easy-going demeanor. But when provoked, as Linda has clearly done with her recent cyber-strafing of his online web and social media accounts, in addition to her online attacks of me and April Brown, author of “Poetic Justice”. Greg is now making this letter-writing campaign his pet project. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost. It is my opinion (I haven’t asked him) that Greg is seeking to bankrupt the ugly and greedy Dash Poem copyright extortion operation once and for all. I could be wrong but far be it for me to stand in Greg’s way.

On a selfish note, it is kind of nice to see others take up a sword in this fight. For a long time, it was just April and I taking most of the arrows from her. It should be interesting to see Greg’s results in the weeks and months to come.

CABALaw.org Asks: Why Does the Dash Poet Keeping Taunting Her Supposed Stalker?

Greg Troy, blogger of CABALaw.org, has written a very informative blog post with a provocative title, “If Linda Ellis Is Afraid of Matthew Chan As She Claims, Why Does She Keep Taunting Him?”

Before I begin, I want to do a full disclosure that Greg is a friend of mine, ExtortionLetterInfo (ELI) forum administrator & moderator, and a member of the ELI Support Team. I did not ask or instruct him to write this blog post. He did this of his own volition and only shared it with me after he was nearly completed. To be sure, I am grateful for his friendship and ongoing support of me and ELI. I have forewarned him that he places himself at some degree of “reputational risk” by publicly associating his name with mine as well as our mutual support of April Brown, author of “Poetic Justice”.

However, Greg is fearless, loyal, and has chosen to stand by me in my uphill battle to overturn the permanent protective order currently in effect against me. The Dash Poet, Linda Ellis, after firing her veiled threats and warnings to April in an effort to dissuade her from releasing her book, she has now turned her attention to me, her legal nemesis, to retaliate because of my outspoken support and loyalty to April Brown and her book project.

Greg has previously come out in support of April and her book in addition to helping defend April against the Dash Poet’s “smear-and-shame” campaign that appears to have subsided for the time being.

Greg, in his anger over watching has been happening with April and me, enters the fray and unleashes his story recounting some of the significant and dramatic Dash Poet events since 2012. Greg’s post is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn the history of the Dash Poet’s battle with me, April, and ELI. Certainly, many of you have read my version of recent and past events but it is always fascinating to read what someone else writes about you and their recollections. Remember, Greg is a friend but I didn’t write his blog post. This is all his baby and he has a good story to tell.

Greg has “come out” with certain events that I was reluctant to discuss like the recent “shirtless” video incident. Greg came out with it because he knew I was angry about the distortion of the context of the “shirtless” video from a few years ago when I was testing the UStream video streaming service. I didn’t discuss it because it appeared the Dash Poet took down the video very quickly. She took it down so quickly I didn’t have a chance to make a copy of that video. The clip she used was an extremely poor version of the original which has been long deleted. As Greg pointed out, that video “conveniently” blocks out much of the context and description of the video. Fortunately, there was enough to make out what it’s true purpose was, to test a video streaming service, not some secret sex-related video as was seemingly implied by the Dash Poet.

Anyone that knows Greg knows that he is a respectful, polite, mild-mannered guy. But under that demeanor lies a man that isn’t afraid to speak his mind, taking up a cause, and making a stand to support his friends. For that, I am grateful for his loyalty and friendship.

I could write more but I won’t for now. All I want to do is make sure you take the time to read Greg’s provocatively-named post, “If Linda Ellis Is Afraid of Matthew Chan As She Claims, Why Does She Keep Taunting Him?” which is actually quite on the mark.

CABALaw.org Supports “Poetic Justice” Author Against Dash Poet’s “Smear-and-Shame” Websites

Greg Troy, blogger of CABALaw.org & ELI Team Member, is jumping into the fray of defending and speaking out against Dash Poet, Linda Ellis, in support of “Poetic Justice” author, April Brown regarding the “smear-and-shame” website JustFreeSpeech.com. I was only made aware of his most recent article “Linda Ellis Launches Smear Campaign against April Brown” after he wrote it.

Greg recaps the history of the Dash Poet’s history of copyright extortion and providing links to copies of victim-contributed $7,500 Dash Poem extortion letters.

More disturbingly, Greg brings to light and offers the public a reminder of the Dash Poet’s prior history of using disturbing and perhaps Google-inappropriate practice of using the Google Adword Program as a mechanism to “market” her “smear-and-shame” website, JustFreeSpeech.com, against April using the phrase “April Brown Auctioneer”. I confess it is a “bold” move that I would not engage in because I prefer to remain in good standing with Google. It seems like something Google might cancel and close an account over but I am not an expert on how the Google Ads program works. However, the Dash Poet seems willing to spend her money to fund a Google advertising program in an attempt to smear April’s business reputation.

Greg recounts his story of observing the Dash Poet posting on April’s own “Get Poetic Justice” Facebook page as well as his directly challenging the Dash Poet on that page if she would allow him to post on the Dash Poet’s own Facebook Fan page if he promised to be entirely accurate with his fact. He says his question went unanswered.

Greg offers his own interesting perspective and insights in to the Dash Poet’s recent “smear-and-shame” website. I highly recommend everyone read his article for yourself in support of April Brown.
