why on earth would you fuck around and find out after receiving a legal letter? That's the first and final warning. They've made up their mind and the next step is to crush you like an ant in a heartbeat. This is one of the biggest companies in the world, second to very very few. You are outgunned comprehensively. Profoundly. Impossibly. You trifled with powers you cannot even comprehend and frankly got away lucky. This was so ignorant as to be childish. You should be thankful. What this was is mercy. If Microsoft was ever to turn the full force of their terrible legal gaze and devote actual effort to you, then and only then could you say they had ruined your life.
There are a lot of things that I am legally allowed to do that I would like to do but can't because I'll be buried in legal proceedings about. All you did is discover one for yourself.
- billh93 3y agoHow did I mess around to find out? I did not know I did anything malicious, intentionally. Do you think I would put my full name, photo of myself, my about story and a link to my LinkedIn profile if I were doing something shady? Did you even read my story? I clearly explained I just offered a 3rd party service for reviewing others LinkedIn profiles which is not illegal or against their terms. There is a whole industry dedicated to this service. The only thing I did was created a dedicated landing page for seo juice to my fiverr gig, that’s it. I’m not sure why they came at me so hard as I would’ve obliged to their request.
- superchroma 3y agoYou know what you did. You messed with their brand. People get crushed all the time for impersonating a brand. "I would’ve obliged to their request." Well, you didn't. They fired the warning shot and you didn't move. You remind me all the arrogant people in videos of police who get warned about something and do it again anyway and then protest loudly when they get arrested.
