Thank you for providing the link. It appears that blog site was set up to show the court papers where Wild Wingdom, LLC and Michael Culp (aka. BC Hires a Rock Star) have *alleged* fraudulent behavior and asked for a jury trial. The website does *not* indicate whether or not the jury trial has ended, and if it has what were the results of that jury trial. In the United States people are innocent until proven guilty by a court of law, so I think that it is too strong of a statement to say that the http://donburleson.wordpress.com site shows fraudulent behavior.

This blog site is dedicated to technical Oracle Database related content, and this page only exists because Mr. Burleson filed a false DMCA claim that held one of my technical Oracle Database related articles (that was intended to help reader) captive for 17 days. I would prefer that the content of this blog remain focused on technical Oracle Database related content.

It appears that Google is looking for end-user input.

None of it makes any logical sense though it does hijack many peoples time who’d rather be spending it otherwise – I guess that’s the point.

He was quite familiar with the tactics and the complaintant (sp?) still kept trying DMCA notices to various other providers when the DMCA law was passed. Here’s another example where he tries to bully a site which publicizes his tactics along with numerous examples.

In fact, the complaintant has been caught plagiarizing numerous sites and lost their own website provider over a legitimate DMCA notice in which he told the provider he took down the material and was caught lying. He’s also lost numerous accounts over abuse of the abuse process.

It may help the next time someone gets a DMCA notice to be able to point the provider to previous examples. The real problem is that providers do not always perform due diligence. Moral: It pays to find a hosting service that will listen and learn.

Did the “cease and desist” notice mention that his own site also has a custom Google search filter?
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_site_search_feature.htm

For people who are interested, you can try out the custom Google filter here:
http://dba-oracle.com/googlesearchsite_proc.htm?cx=000522505899594707971%3A4-ldikxixw4&cof=FORID%3A10&q=cease+and+desist

And the normal Google search here:
http://dba-oracle.com/googlesearchsite_proc.htm?&cof=FORID%3A10&q=cease+and+desist

He seems to be in favor of people using custom Google search filters, so I guess that I do not understand the point of the “cease and desist” notice:

It would be so funny i it it weren’t so infuriating. Don sent my company a “cease and desist” threat over a blog posting of mine that posted a link to one of those Don Burlenson google filters, so watch out all you people above who linked to those filters. He might come after you too ! (true story – luckily my company looked at it , laughed and wrote him a nice reply to the tune of “we don’t think so” – if only it was that easy with the web hosting providers.)
