I want to make it clear.
I was sincere in the advice I was giving you. And I hope you have a first Amendment lawyer. If they rolled up a forensic van then rest assured there is a foresic data recovery tech or examiner already acquring the hard drives of your comptuer.
Every website that youve visted at least in the last 30 days will be found.
Depending on your email program every email that youve sent or been sent will be found.
In short whatever you were actually doing there [and I dont care] and if you kept a record on your computer...it will be brought to light. And thats just on your computer.
I dont care that you may or may not have been a hooker in the eyes of the law. [I do understand the community.]
I dont care that your sites fall into that extreme genere. Even though I do agree that they bring a lot of unwanted attention to this business its your 1st Amendment right to have them.
I dont care that your use of the Epassporte was also questionable which is going to make it harder in the long run for all merchants to use one...thats between you and Epassporte.
If you were seeking advice I will amend what I told you you might want to get 2 good lawyers. One of them better be a Free Speech or 1st Amendment lawyer and the other one needs to understand this industry and technology pretty well.
You've managed to come up on the local radar and if they have confiscated all of your gear then you can rest assured that they are coming after you with a crusade like youve never seen before. And based on the points Ive made above youve got a rough road to travel.
If you came here looking for any other assistance ... I find it curious. As a former board owner Ive seen a lot of people call for help over the years but have never participated in the community that they are asking help from. Im sure with your involvement in the B&D community you can appreciate why these members find it curious to say the least.
Nonetheless you have a long and rough road to travel in the legal world if you are as pristine as you say. Your time might be better served working with lawyers and the local B&D community.
If the courts clear your name....might I also suggest reading some of these board with a little more detail. Maybe attend a few industry shows and participate in the ethics seminar.
I do care that you have an affiliate program that solicits traffic from other webmasters yet you 'shave" the donations from the aforementioned traffic.
That certainly doesnt look very well in the eyes of the webmaster community.
