| The Image that FOX News owns. |
At first, when I
saw this pop up in my news feed, I thought that the same Michael Crook had risen from the depths of anonymity. I was wrong of course, but it had me searching my old e-mails (some go back to the year 2000), and hit the jackpot. Alas, I saved several of them.
To make a long story short, Mikey Boy owned several web sites that mocked our service personnel. He also would put up nasty posts about victims of Drunk Drivers, and when he mentioned a few local girls, I was determined to expose him for the worthless piece of shit that he was.
Anyway, read on.

Dear
We have been informed by Michael Crook , that you and/or your business has participated in and caused or authorized the making and distribution of defamatory, harassing, abusive and/or threatening language and comments and knowingly permitted and encouraged the downloading of such comments on your Internet/World Wide Web Site.
Your continued conduct and publication of such material directly concerns IPOWERWEB in that your conduct is in direct violation of our terms and conditions.
This is the second such complaint we have received regarding this site.
As you know, our terms and conditions provide that the ”use of the services to store, post, transmit, display or otherwise make available obscene, defamatory, harassing, abusive or threatening language is prohibited” as well as that “any violation of any person's intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, rights of publicity or other personal rights is prohibited.” Your statements appear to violate our terms and conditions. It is also our understanding that you have been informed by the complainant of your acts and failed to respond to any of its demands.
In that respect, IPOWERWEB demands that you immediately cease and desist from the posting, transmission, displaying of obscene, defamatory, harassing, abusive or threatening language on your web site and on the Internet/World Wide Web.
Accordingly, IPOWERWEB requests that you promptly remove all material within twenty-four (24) hours of the time of the mailing of this e-mail and contact our office upon receipt of this e-mail to confirm that the violations will stop. If you remove the material from your web site immediately and provide written assurance that you will not continue to use the material, we will consider matter closed. However, if the violation does not cease we will immediately deactivate your account pursuant to the terms and conditions.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

This is the second complaint we've had to file on this client.
That said, the following entry is in question:
http://www.totallydelco.com/blog/2005/05/michael-crook-number-one-asshole.ht
ml
While the user is definately entitled to freedom of speech, it is our
contention that
this entry violates your Acceptable User Policy, Paragraph 4, Section "c",
Subsection "i."
To wit:
Several comments, while not posted by your client, but under his
control/custody, qualify
as potentially criminally and civilly actionable material:
Bullshit.
- The entry dated 7/11/2005 at 8:57:29pm provides a residential address and
two private telephone numbers.
This information is not provided with our consent.
Really? How many addresses and phone numbers did YOU post prick?
- On the same day, just below the above referenced post, a user alleges that
Michael Crook fathered a baby with a then-teenage girl. This is not true, and is therefore actionable under libel.
- The entry on 7/21/2005 again provides residential and telephone
information without our consent.
- The entry on 10/05/2005 again provides residential and telephone
information without our consent.
Therefore, this user continues to violate your Terms of Service, and is
creating actionable materials, which
can result in civil action against himself, and against any and all service
providers who fail to take due action.
We hope that you look into this matter for us.
I may be reached via e-mail in regards to this matter at dmca@mcipdns.com.
My physical address is 8417 Oswego Road #179 in Baldwinsville, NY 13027.
My telephone number for this matter is (315) 560-8886.
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material described
above on the allegedly infringing web pages is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
I certify that I am authorized to act upon the behalf of the subject named
herein. I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the
notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed.
Sincerely,
Kayla Maastersen-Crook

Bottom line? This asshole for a time made my life miserable, he contacted my web host with a bogus complaint, then on top of that, contacts my clients who in turn demand their ads be taken down. Nowadays,
Pussy Boy claims he has several "Mental Illnesses", and supports the Police.
Sure thing Pussy Boy.
