Jeff Lundquist Minneapolis Real Estate

by TLB

Remember how someone snatched up our domain name and is now illegally publishing the content of The Literary Brothel?

What are we talking about? And you call yourself a web surfer. You don't remember the classic Brothel pieces National Contact Registry can Suck It or National Contact Registry is Illegally Publishing our Content? Okay, we thought so. Now let's move on.

Apparently the person who is illegally publishing The Literary Brothel is Jeff Lundquist of Minneapolis Real Estate. (Please save all Minnesota jokes until the end.) That means unless we hear otherwise, he's on our "naughty" list.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Why would a real estate agent in Minneapolis of all god-for-saken places buy up domain names and illegally publish their content?" First, I said save the Minnesota bashing until the end. Second, it doesn't make much sense to us either. Why would a real estate agent in Minnesota of all places want to break countless copyright infringement laws by publishing article after past article of The Literary Brothel?

Beats us. Maybe it's not Jeff Lundquist. Maybe we have the wrong man. Maybe he can still make our "nice" list in time for Christmas. Seeing as we haven't done anything that could be considered "research," we might be jumping to conclusions.

However, we recently got a message from "Shannon" alerting us to her newly created site, National Contact Registry Stole My Site. On it, you'll see links to testimony from a number of people who have all fallen victim to National Contact Registry's nefarious deeds, and they name Jeff Lundquist as the culprit. So for now, he's the man.

Although I have to say, our testimony is TAME compared to the rest. One guy had heart trouble, went in the hospital, let his domain expire, and still couldn't get it back from National Contact Registry. Guess they'd heard one too many, "I had heart failure and accidentally let my domain expire" stories.

Really, people are pissed about this. One guy posted daily updates on his new blog counting the days since National Contact Registry stole his domain. That's persistance.

Apparently it upsets bloggers when you steal their work and publish it without their permission. But now we're banding together. Shannon has done the right thing in creating her website in hopes that this might turn into a nice, civil, class-action lawsuit.

Unless of course, she lets the domain expire and it's bought by National Contact Registry.

Seriously.
