mopaiv.com post-mortem activities

Ladies and gentlemen, let's break down the saga unfolding in the cyber realms:

Picture this - CLIENT, the enigmatic maestro of the internet marketplace, has been orchestrating this digital symphony incognito for a good number of years. No incorporated legal entity, no nod to tax authorities; just a shadowy impresario weaving his entrepreneurial tapestry.

Then, out of the blue, the curtains fall on his marketplace spectacle. His reason? "Alguien registro un dominio similar en la zona .tech, bla-bla-bla". Now, he's not basking in the glow of his online stage; he's in the shadows, frantically sweeping away the digital footprints of his past exploits.

But here's the twist - CLIENT didn't just fade into the digital twilight; he enlisted the legal cavalry. A big-gun lawyer from the top echelons of "internet law" on Google, no less. Money's no object; the name is the game, a sort of legal smoke and mirrors to patch up the holes in his narrative.

Now, the legal theatrics begin. Copyright claims are thrown into the ring, but here's the rub - no specific materials are cited, and the supposed copyright holder is a phantom. The only tangible target is an UGC-laden closed marketplace. Smoke and mirrors, my friends.

In a sudden pivot, CLIENT tries to pull at our heartstrings. Children, apparently, are now the unwitting pawns in this cloak-and-dagger affair. A blatant attempt to garner sympathy or a diversionary tactic? You be the judge.

And just when you think the plot couldn't get any thicker, they drop the bomb - threats of concocting bogus clauses to unleash upon domain registrars. It's like a legal thriller, but the stakes are your digital presence.

What's the rush, you ask? CLIENT wants this resolved yesterday. Hours or days, not the leisurely pace of legal tango. GDPR, the slow knight in shining armor for privacy grievances and rights-to-be-forgotten, is conveniently disregarded. Seems like threats are the preferred currency in this high-stakes game.

Oh, and documents? Not a shred, save for that inaugural email, dressed up in a PDF costume.

This whole spectacle reeks of the classic crypto-schemer playbook, a dark artistry perfected in the annals of ICO shenanigans. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and looks like a duck, well, you get the idea.

So, what's next on this rollercoaster ride? Brace yourselves for the potential crescendo - late-night calls from CLIENT, dripping with threats of physical repercussions, or perhaps a dalliance with the dark web to recruit some denizens with thuggish proclivities.

CLIENT aims to keep his identity veiled, but you, my good sir, are not shrouded in mystery. Do you genuinely want to wade into this criminal quagmire?

And let's not forget, for the record and the sake of transparency, our conversation is documented and might just see the light of day. If anything murky unfolds in the days to come, this narrative shall stand as a breadcrumb trail for the authorities.

Cheers to navigating the digital drama, my friends. May your servers stay secure and your passwords ever cryptic!

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your message.

Regarding the proof of ownership, please look at: https://mopaiv.com/proofforarchive

The client is ready to reply to any message from that email address
to verify the ownership.

As for the identity documents of the owner, http://archive.ph does not
have any privacy policies, cookie policies, or corporate identity
disclosure. If you provide all those documents, my client may consider
providing identification information, but asking my client to send
information to a website without any legal documents and without
clearly stated owner (as required by many laws) is unreasonable.

You are hereby requested to delete the Disputed Webpage by the 25th of November.

Best regards,

Уважаеми г-н Димов,

Благодарим Ви за бързия отгово. Искаме да Ви уведомим за някои
аспекти на текущата ситуация, които са от значение за обработката на
Вашата заявка:

1. Съмнение за Притежаване на Авторско Право върху Съдържание на Потребители:
Имаме определени съмнения относно въпросната платформа и дали
операторът на нея притежава ексклузивно авторско право върху
съдържанието, предоставено от потребителите. Моля, предоставете
допълнителна информация или документи, които потвърждават авторските
права върху съдържанието.

2. Възможен Сценарий за Прекратяване на Дейността на Интернет Магазин:
Има вероятност, че става въпрос за случай, в който интернет магазин
спря с дейността си. В този контекст, архивираните страници могат да
служат като доказателства за задълженията на магазина. Моля, споделете
допълнителна информация, ако такива съображения са от значение за
заявката Ви.

3. Съмнение относно Аутентичността на Собствениците:
Според текущата информация на уебсайта
(https://archive.ph/0NMT1/ef748f0a574d16578a0edee19a0992a228fb7d98/scr.png),
съществуват съмнения, че има лица, които се представят като предишни
собственици. Това предизвиква съмнения относно автентичността на
претенциите. Моля, споделете допълнителна информация, ако имате
коментари или обективни данни, които да подкрепят валидността на
претенциите.

Искаме да акцентираме, че в момента не изискваме нищо от Вашия клиент.
Нашата комуникация е насочена към установяване на условия, при които
бихме могли да помогнем.

С настоящата ситуация изглежда, че става въпрос за потенциално спорен
случай с интернет магазин, който е прекратил дейността си. Възможно е,
че архивираните страници да се окажат полезни като доказателства за
тези, които могат да поемат задълженията на магазина.

Подчертаваме, че сме готови да помогнем в този контекст и целта ни е
да установим яснота и справедливост във въпроса. Ако имате
допълнителна информация или въпроси, моля, не се колебайте да ги

Dear Sir or Madam,


The website was taken down and the owner would like to remove
all archives for privacy and stalking reasons. If you provide
us with your privacy policy and identity, we may provide you
with more information about the owner.

In the meantime, please delete the Disputed Webpage.

Dear Mr. Dimov,

Thank you for your message.

While we appreciate your efforts to represent the owner's interests,
at this juncture, the situation appears to resemble that of a business
that may have ceased operations without settling its obligations.

To align with our ethical position, we would need further
clarification and assurance that our involvement is aimed at
addressing legitimate concerns related to the business rather than
potentially misleading its clients.

Best regards,

Dear Sir or Madam,

Mikeal (also known as Thad, Zach, and other names) is the owner of
Mopaiv. The site opened when he was 15 and shutdown when he was 17.
It was a social network avatar website. The sites archives are
now being used by former users to bully, stalk, harass, impersonate
the former owner.

Dr. Daniel Dimov

Dear Mr. Dimov,

Thank you for the update.

The shift in the narrative from initial concerns of copyright
violations to a cyberbullying case raises questions about the
consistency and credibility of the presented information. While we
understand the importance of addressing issues related to online
harassment, the evolution of the narrative raises concerns about the
trustworthiness of the story.

Despite the owner's young age, the presence of many items for sale and
the hiring a famous law book writer as their legal representation
suggest a level of business maturity and financial activity that
contradicts the portrayal of a simple avatar website run by a
teenager.

In order to better assess the situation, we would appreciate any
additional documentation or evidence that supports the claims made,
especially concerning the alleged misuse of the site's archives. This
will help us ensure a thorough and fair evaluation of the matter.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards,
Support Team

Dear Sir or Madam,

My Client has contacted you and provided you with additional
explanations regarding this matter. However, you have not replied yet.

My Client considers instructing me to contact:

1. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN),
the organization which is responsible for the governance of the Internet
worldwide, and ask them to take action to ensure that no domain name
registrar permits your website to operate as your website does not
have a privacy policy and a proper copyright policy.

2. All domain name registrars currently operating domain names used
by http://archive.is and requesting them to suspend the domain names
associated with http://archive.is (and all other mirror domain names)
as http://archive.is operates without proper legal documents (a
privacy policy and a copyright policy).

You are hereby requested to reply to this letter within 24 hours as
this is an urgent matter.

Please note that my Client is willing to provide an ID although he
will blur his face and ID number since your website does not have any
privacy policies.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Dr. Daniel Dimov
Attorney-at-law (the Brussels Bar)

Dear Dr. Daniel Dimov,

I trust this message finds you well. Thank you for your
correspondence, and I appreciate your client's additional explanations
on the matter.

I want to assure you that we take all concerns seriously and are
committed to addressing them appropriately. However, I would like to
clarify that the screenshots from teenage chats provided by your
client do not constitute evidence of copyright infringement or
confirmation of identity.

Please be advised that we consider the tone of your email to be
aggressive and threatening. We believe in resolving matters through
open communication and cooperation. We assure you that we are
committed to addressing any legitimate concerns and rectifying any
issues that may exist.

Regarding your client's threat of involving ICANN and contacting
domain name registrars, we interpret this as an attempt at coercion
and intimidation. Such actions  are counterproductive and not in line
with a constructive resolution.

Dear Dr. Daniel Dimov,

I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I wish to
express my gratitude for your message, and I value your ongoing
curiosity.

It is my assumption that the importance of confirming one's identity,
whether through a passport, certificate of incorporation, or tax
document, is apparent to you. This practice serves to protect against
impersonation and aids in copyright verification. Without such
measures, there is a lack of inherent value, as individuals can easily
send emails claiming to represent notable figures, such as Michael
Jackson, with many doing so, often posing as Nigerian princes.

The latest communication from you bears the date of 27th November. It
appears that the subsequent letters you mention did not advance beyond
your outbox.

Best regards,
Support Team

Esteemed Mr. "Zach" a.k.a. "Mikeal" a.k.a. "Thad" and other names.

In the recent epistles from Daniel, an implicit subtext of negotiation
pervades.

If one were to reconstruct the spatiality of the trade using these
missives as akin to anchoring points, it becomes apparent that any
denouement of this negotiation anticipates a gesture of goodwill on
my part, aimed at aiding you.

I do not even demur to such a framework, and the stipulation on my
end was singular and enunciated forthwith: the ethical dimension of
this action.

However, the ethicality of the matter has been dubious from its
inception: the narrative seemed to evince an evasion of debts (the
marketplace's closure) or taxes (haste towards the end of November,
involving offshore attorney with cryptocurrency background).

Each successive missive from Daniel, sliding from pseudo-copyright
claims to appeals for sympathy towards children, then to intimidation,
and eventually converging to explicit nazi discourse - an attempt
to assert authority in distinguishing between who qualifies as a
human being and who does not, - serves to persuade me, firstly, that
you lack legitimate grounds, and secondly, that extending assistance
to you is ethically untenable.
