DOCKET REPORT 01/23/2010 Last Update

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?

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.

This was 24 days before I was in the wreck of Sep 3, 2002. From here you see a link to Eartheye Aug 10, 2002where the nudes were kept. To reach them you had to agree to see nude art or pass a warning screen.
2002
Car Wreck
Sept 03, 2002
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.

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 .

June 22 2004
On the birthday of the brother who held my hand you can see Eartheye being cybersquatted by NameMedia d/b/a BuyDomains. The scrolling page title is not there but all it still says is that its for sale for 1488

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.

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.

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.

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.}

Nov 01, 2009

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.

Nov 05, 2009

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.

Nov 05, 2009

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.

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.

My domains were active for six years or more. It is recorded in the Internet Archive back a dozen years or 1997! See the time line above.
NameMedia took MY trademarked domains! My consistent legacy was destroyed by NameMedia! NameMedia kidnapped my domains and asked me for $2700 ransom for domains they licensed to Google because Network Solutions advertised them.

When I could not pay what NameMedia said it was worth, they sold it to a company that then started to use the domain to begin their business.

NameMedia cybersquatted both my domains AFTER BEING ASKED NOT TOO! death!
I am suing and asking for a ....at least THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.



I am not wanting to look into a domain dispute tribunal like their attorney Erik Zilinek referred to using. They are very familiar with that tribe. The primary TRIBE they use for resolving disputes is simply another part of the problem.

The Supreme Court needs to finally clean up these underhanded domain name kidnappers. I filed in the Western District of Arkansas United States Court last week. A Federal Lawsuit for my peers to decide! Grrr! Not a tribe!
I demand a JURY! Read the suit as initially filed or after Google and NameMedia were added.
Lawsuit

Amended Lawsuit

I am suing as a poor, legless, brain injured, and paralyzed, pauper! I asked to proceed without paying. I was provisionally approved! I forgot to sign the thing. Oops! Brain injuries are a bother.
