A hard workin' dude with mad skillz!

If you need those technical details, he's the man for the job.
People would be happy to pay this type of service Linkster.. and i dont just mean web people.

My first contact with adult internet was in about 94/95, when an Australian bank employed me as private investigator to find out who had "stolen" their domain name and used it for porn..

Some "kid" in Brisbane had bought the .com version of their .com.au domain and put a picture of a Rat with a hard-on on the front of the site... apparently just to annoy them... and when they asked to buy it... he said "Sure 20k.. " may have been 40k even.. anyway the bank couldnt work out who this was so employed me to track him down.

Long story short... it was Scott Phillips from pinkbits.. the bank (and me) expected we could scare the shit out of him with some legal muscle.. after all it was just some punk assed kid!!

hehehe.. Scotty sure gave me an intersting demonstration on how to handle big tough lawyer toting types.. Wasn't told of final result but I beleive they paid him for the domain.... paid more than 10k in legals.. and 2 or 3 thousand on me....


Oh yeah... the point was.. if you enjoy it and are good at it Linkster, there is many people who feel helpless when anything like this happens... and not just webmasters.. and they are all happy to pay...
