Vinnie Opens A New Website, How To Write A DMCA TO 1AND1 Hosting

UPDATE: This post was censored and removed by Google after a complaint filed by Vinnie Spina as part of a harassment campaign. 

We were not given notice or an opportunity to protest the censorship. We have a first amendment right to publish information of public interest on irontroll.com as established in Obsidian v Cox. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vincenza Spina now has 2 websites! Isn’t she clever? Her new site is fauxxmedia.com and hosted by 1and1.com, a company in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania.

Since the new site is an exact mirror of her old site fauxrealityentertainment.com, Vinnie, the disbarred lawyer, is obviously trying to circumvent DMCA violations.  GoDaddy will permanently suspend a repeat offender so she’s using another host.

Ironically her new hosting company is also used by Brandon King for his website. She  mentions Brandon in her article of June 22nd though she has her facts wrong. SeriousMode has been denounced by Cheaterville aka Bullyville (his article is right here) for teaming up with Vincenza Spina to harass people Vinnie doesn’t like. Brandon King IS seriousmode and currently using the Twitter handle @theumpirelestat . All the comments Vinnie makes about SeriousMode are about her friend Brandon King. I don’t know what little game she’s trying to play, everybody knows Brandon was seriousmode, you can google it and find out Brandon was seriousmode. Brandon even left the first comment on that article, he’s very supportive of Vinnie. I left the third comment but as you’ll see, Vinnie didn’t let my comment go through. 

Anyway, while I know GoDaddy is quick to suspend on suspicions of copyright infringement, I don’t know how fast 1and1 reacts. Their headquarters are in Pennsylvania and they have a legal department so they’re subject to US law and know they have to take DMCA complaints seriously. 

The format for writing a DMCA to 1AND1 is the same, just a different email address. They also have a fax number.

Take note that an electronic signature is needed. To create one just sign a piece of paper and either scan it or take a picture with a webcam then embed the picture of your signature in your email.

You will be sending your DMCA by email but also have the option to use a fax machine via 215-508-4428
