    Brilliant! A classic FUD market and a huge first-mover advantage that the management team has made the most of with some exclusive deals. Great work!

    Unfortunately, it may be used to pressure valid opinions off the web.

    I'm one of the moderators on Alberta Stars social network and we were approached by Mr. Dayu Yang from Reputation Defender in regards to the gruesome pictures of Nikki Catsouras that were linked from our website. AlbertaStars.com is a community website that respects freedom of speech and member's opinions are not censored, hence it was given out to the public to decide whether we're going to remove the links or retain. Clear consensus has not been reached, hence the images are still linked.

    Many of our members believe that thousands of dollars spent on chasing the pictures and getting them removed off the web should have been used for better purpose, perhaps to help educate teenagers better on dangers of reckless driving, which was the reason why Nicole Catsouras' life ended in such a horrific way.

    On a more positive note, Reputation Defender approached us in a very nice manner, did not threaten us with a lawsuit, instead we were kindly asked to understand the difficult situation The Catsouras have been put into by having those pictures published on the web and were asked to consider removal from our site.

    You can do the exact same thing, sans the remediation, at www.pipl.com

    Other than them removing the unwanted material, I don't see much value in this.

    This company is so worthless. Save the money and put yourself on LinkedIn for free. Forget paying Michael Fertik and his friends to do it for you.
