He means that Yakface, as owner, is liable for any debts incurred by Dakka, including for example if the website was successfully sued. If Dakka was incorporated as a business, i.e. a Limited Company, then while Dakka could still be successfully sued, it would stop there, Yakface's personal assets e.g. his house, would not be at risk.
Probably not the best explanation, but I'm only a beginner myself when it comes to the differences, so if I've got that wrong, someone please do correct me.
Incidently, conspiracy theory over, someone has asked RF about their lawyers on FB, and they confirmed that the 'lawyers' webpage was down, which in turn confirms that RF are behind that C&D. Its all on the RF Store FB page, at least for the moment if anyones interested.
Cool. Cheers for the clarification!
There was a post down on the Oubilette a week or so ago with someone warning about issues they had with RF, who is a poster on here. One of the points RF made was complaining no one had PM'ed him (her?) to tell him about that thread. I thought I'd get in touch now to tell them about this one and ask them to put their side of the story, but they have chosen not to receive PM's, so that was a waste of time. Here's hoping they see this and put forward their version of event.
On basic points of law, DakkaDakka is not responsible for non-editorial content, provided they respond to C&D appropriately.
In the US, as long as the allegations are factual or opinion, they are protected speech.
They can do what they like, and confirming the linkage to a known scammer is just fine.
Normally I would agree with you eldargal, but all these actions do fit redstarones MO, last time he even involved the police when one client threatened to take him to court.
from what I understand, falsifying a C&D in the US is highly illegal? so someone's going to get in the **** for this
Don't forget that for this assumed Dakka conspiracy they would also have to control Resin Forge's Facebook account on which the owner of Resin Forge pretty much shot himself in the leg - on an hourly basis.Quote:

Never said he wasn't, I just thought the whole thing stank. Since I posted that the moron confirmed he was the one who sent the C&D so despite the people on Dakkadakkas best efforst to make themselves look dubious by not sharing evidence they have been proven right by the scammer.:rolleyes:
The 'conspiracy' was not assumed, it was considered a plausible possibility given how stupid and convenient it was for the RF=Scammer argument. Since then the idiot has confirmed it all via Facebook as you indicate. In other words the assumed conspiracy didn't require control of the Facebook account, because the Facebook account wasn't involved at the time. Timelines are important.
Timelines are indeed important. Most of the statements went via Resin Forge's Facebook account BEFORE the whole thing with the C&D letter came up. Believe me, we were first line on the Facebook thing, from there the quotes and screenshots went directly to the now removed original warning thread about Resin Forge on dakkadakka.Quote:

And then he confirmed on his Facebook page that he had his "legal representation" send the C&D letter fo dakka. This means that
a) either the Facebook account of Resin Forge would have had to be set up by dakka members long before the warning and they were all the time just pretending to interact with Resin Forge's customers and taking order for him (!?)
or
b) that Resin Forge's Facebook account was hijacked at some point by dakka members who continue to publish really silly statements in order to ruin Resin Forge.
As you said: timeline points are really iportant ;)
