RARA SUE

Sorry for the lack of updates. I received a letter from attorneys representing the actress Sara Rue. Apparently some three years ago I purchased the sararue.com domain name. I put up a web page for her, a fan site inviting anyone else to design a fan site because I didn't want to be seen as a "cybersquatter."

Well, Sara Rue has actually sicced attorney's on me demanding that I take down the site and transfer ownership to her representation or she will seek damages from me. I don't understand the damages an actress feels she suffered that someone was conscientious enough to purchase her domain name for her and put up a site for her. I'm not some pornographer in Zimbabwe that she could have never, ever found. I'm a guy in Portland that would have given it to her for the asking. I'm not sure why she (through her attorneys) is talking to me like my buying sararue.com three years ago was an act of hostility towards her. Also, how could I possibly be profitting from a fan site for an actress? I had a link to this website on the page I put up, but I don't profit from this endeavor.

Here's the page that Sara Rue is going to sue me for. I thought I was too old to deal with this shit. However, when I do someone a favor, in a sense, and she treats me like an asshole, then I'll become an asshole. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Sort of.

I published the letter from the law firm, but there's a paragraph that says they'll punish me legally if I put the letter on the internet.

Geez, they've got me by the balls. I want to see how a lawsuit against the publisher of a fansite pans out. Here's a legal notice: Any letters sent to any email address meant for me to read will be posted on this site.

GOOCH:pissed.
