DOCKET REPORT
| 1997 Eartheye Dec 22 |
![]() |
The Internet Archive was first created and Eartheye was archived in their first year. It had been around for several years, Curtis Neeley had just begun Earth Eye Images doing internationally published photography business with companies like Wal-Mart |
| 1998 Eartheye Dec 5 |
![]() |
Curtis redid Eartheye website to reflect is commercial photography. This was a particularly difficult time for Curtis because of a divorce. |
| 1999 Eartheye Apr 23, 1999 |
The Eartheye site was largely unchanged during this time as Curtis fought custody a battle and moved his home and his studio Here you see Curtis first incorporating his fine art nudes at Eartheye with a warning entry. As Curtis looks back at these nudes, he sees too much erotica by himself in this earlier development as an artist. Oct 13, 1999 Here you can see the nude link removed and a discouraging message to models with no nudes on the site. |

Curtis found an archive of the first business use of SleepSpot before NameMedia hid it or asked the internet archive to hide it. See the PDFs HERE, HERE or HERE |
| 2000 Eartheye Aug 17 2000 |
|
Here was a site consisting primarily of nudes. Here we also see a mentioning of SEX and BONDAGE although none of it was shown. [THANK GOD] |
| 2001 CurtsNeeley June 14, 2001 |
|
Presenting only wedding photos with no nudes linked from here. People are not wanting to see nudes when looking for a wedding photographer. |
| 2001 Eartheye Feb 02 |
|
This is now where Curtis decided to place the nudes and here you see a link to CurtisNeeley.com called commercial. I had first used the word figurative to describe my photographs as well as the term nude. Here you will also see of a very limited edition book In His Own Image Wonder Who's image I was referring to? |
| 2001 CurtisRes March 31, 2001 |

First archived use of the CIRS logo and a description of a software system that was an attempt to change the way the Internet was used to find a place to sleep. |
| 2001 CurtisRes July 24, 2001 |
Curtis had visited Disneyland and SleepSpot was handling room reservations for the Orlando Howard Johnson. Curtis was also a software inventor. [CIRS] PriceLine was about to have competition from SleepSpot using software Curtis wrote! SleepSpot.com was an attempt to change the way the Internet was used to find a Spot to Sleep. NameMedia has asked the Internet archive to be blocked to hide evidence. |

|
Here you will see my tiny car. The mutilated front side is on the left. I was not drunk and neither was the other driver. I was severely brain damaged. I was unresponsive and in a coma for just over six weeks. Here you me see me with the ventilator attachment still in my trachea. |
| 2003 NameMedia Aug 31 2003 |
|
NameMedia's Cybersquatting Eartheye There was nothing there but a [for sale] sign. This is evidence that they used my established domain for no use other than to sell it at a profit. They will try to hide this but it will be too late. |
|
Here you see me with post-comatose amnesia. You can see the feeding tube and my children. I did not remember any of them and do not to this day. Two are step-children by my second wife. One of them is having a birthday. My second wife had removed me from the ventilator that was my life-support so that I could finish death after six unresponsive weeks. While my brother held my hand and I lay dying, he thought I squeezed. He asked a neurologist to check and was told it was only a random reaction of a dying man. He then said that if I was there I would respond to a verbal request for air. He stated something like, If you are there and can hear us and are trying to breath, give us a thumbs-up , and it is said that I did. That is only a interesting bit of trivia I use now to support a new artistic theme of the nude figure. I call it Thumbs-Up . |

Sept 11 2005 Here you see my Earth Eye Images Studio operating.In use for commerce! |
| 2006 CurtisNeeley |
|
Earth Eye Images site is alive and well but the logo has outlasted the domain. It was last seen in 1999 or seven years ago! |
| 2007 Eartheye Feb 08, 2007 |
|
NameMedia d/b/a BuyDomains ask you to call 781-839-7903 or 866-944-8600 to buy the domain. The archive does not have the 2005 or 2006 ransom notes. It was still only for sale four years later. |
| 2007 NameMedia d/b/a BuyDomain Nov 29, 2007 |
|
Domain consultant Ted Olson responds to my advisement of my prior ownership of domain Eartheye by asking me to speak to NameMedia legal. They contacted me again in 2007. I have that for evidence! I told them that the domains were previously used by me in business and that I would gladly pay renewal fees and trade another domain for their return. They said the domains were now premium domains and .... BuyDomains wanted 2600 or greater. |

![]() Lawsuit |
Curtis Neeley files trademark violation lawsuit in the Western Arkansas District of Federal Court! | |
| 2009 Eartheye April 17. 2009 |
|
Earth Eye LLC purchased the domain and are now using it to conduct business .I wonder how much they paid for the domain? NameMedia posted that it sold for $2,300. AfternicDLS is just NameMedia |
|
NameMedia harasses Curtis Neeley and asks him how much he thinks a domain is worth. Read Curtis Neeley's reply and see that he included Erik Zilinek? I want them to leave me alone. |
|
|
Curtis Neeley files addendum as ordered. | |
|
Erik Zilinek, or someone logged in as ezilinek logged in to NamePros Forum and saw my posts there. I imagine he has found several others. We will see what they will do. I suppose he was served? My last PM comment at NamePros. |

Curtis Neeley sends Google a TM complaint and advises Google of intent to add them as conspirators creating a profit for themselves and NameMedia using the violated TM at SleepSpot.com. Go see the "parked" page they both CONSPIRE to sell ads on. Just please do not click any add and donate to Google or NameMedia.. |
|
|
They Cybersquatted my domain and offered to sell it DIRECTLY to ME TODAY for $2,788.00 $2,788.00 See it here as signed PDFs {1,2,3} It was hard to save the cart page, but I did it. I do not have any money so $2,788.00 is beyond me.} |
|
|
I was curious to see why it was priced so high and saw ten ads running on the site and clicked them and will contact each advertiser to complain. See as a signed PDF HERE or click thumbnail to zoom in. | |
|
Finally hear back from Google AdSense Trademark Complaint form. They say tough. A very arrogant move that will delight jurors. Read my reply to them and an advertiser on the Google licensed domain. Read my angry, but amicable RESPONSE. |
|
Google rejects my offer and continues to license sleepspot.com from NameMedia . Google's policy of licensing TM violations is EXACTLY why NameMedia has a policy of cybersquatting and licensing ad sites. |
Google decided to let a jury determine the extent of PUNITIVE damages that will be required to be determined. A JURY is likely to think they got too big for their own good and Google's very arrogant move will delight jurors.

| NAMEMEDIA INC FINALLY noticed NameMedias.com or this very site and sued me or counterclaimed and seek 100K. I am so glad they finally pulled their heads out! I am so NOT worried. They answered my suit with lies. I asked for sanctions for that today and asked they re-file. I also asked that their partial summary judgment be dismissed. I am not putting them up because it is too much work. Log in and you can see the docs at pacer. My motions had twenty-seven exhibits that prove my claim and showed their answer to be harassing lies. | ||
| Follow it on the PACER system docket report if you wish. I will only link to the docket reports that require you to log on and buy the filings to download. Too much work as it is already 54 entries this far. DOCKET REPORT 01/23/2010 Last Update |

I am very angry and want to punish the people who I found responsible for killing my domain with a prison term. Money will only mitigate this and help me establish a foundation for my legacy. Amended Lawsuit |
