I’d like to first thank you for all the support and feedback I have received since the $21.4M company, Earth Class Mail Corp., made this blog into a nasty battleground for someone like me who is trying to help people  stop junk mail and save trees.

Since I do not have enough time to reply to each individual about this possible lawsuit, I have put together some answers to top questions that readers had asked me in their feedback.

  1. Is your site sponsored by any company?

    This site has always been non-commercial and free.  There are no Google or sponsored ads.  I also do not endorse any of the services in any way and none of the services I mentioned or reviewed on this personal blog sponsored me.

  2. How did it all start?

    When I received my first email (also via certified mail, which I never received) from the General Counsel of Earth Class Mail Corp., their false accusations and absurd demands to have me hand over my domain name at MY cost does indeed sound fishy to me.  However, to avoid possible lawsuit, I retracted the appropriate statements after I received another email  (and later 2 overnight legal letters) from Perkins Coie, a huge international law firm that represents the company.

    After performing a more in-depth research into Earth Class Mail, along with some helpful links from readers, I found more unpleasant information about Earth Class Mail. So I thought to myself, “What did I possibly do to piss off a $21.4M company that seems determined to take me out using any means necessary?“  None of my reviews about them were that negative.  You should see my review on Shoeboxed to see the difference.  Well, some reader suggested that I should be the one to file a legal lawsuit to Earth Class Mail.  Maybe I should take that under advisement.

    Well, here are just a couple shocking posts regarding Earth Class Mail’s business practices:

    $13.3 Million For Startup That Wants To Kill Snail Mail – Read Michael Arrington’s comment after the article.

    I Hate Earth Class Mail – My Review – Evan Fell, a real user of Earth Class Mail services, had the following to say:

    “My official Earth Class Mail Review is 0 out of 5 mail-bags. I hate it. I wish I never signed up. If they were only honest and upfront about how their service operated things might be different. I have called and cancelled my account. If those paychecks don’t show up somewhere they will have a very angry Evan Fell knocking on their front door in Oregon.”

  3. What about the trademark infringement issue?

    I will leave the trademark infringement issue to the lawyers without any discussion here. However, in the words of 2600 publisher Emmanuel Goldstein in regards to the landmark case about the domain verizonreallysucks.com:

    “We call on INDIVIDUALS around the world to criticize Verizon on as many domain names as possible and to exercise your rights to free speech.”

    So I, too, call on INDIVIDUALS around the world to criticize Earth Class Mail on as many domain names as possible and to exercise your rights to free speech.  Perhaps I should register the following domain:

  4. What does TOKIDOKI Adios has to do with this?

    Nothing. I just love them.

Grand Price Question

Why would Earth Class Mail want to threaten you with legal lawsuit at first place?

Good question.  If you have time, google around, you will find the answer to this question.
