Since they are clearly indifferent and appear to intend to continue perhaps an open boycott could be staged until ralphsters lawsuit is filed.

In reply to:
I also would boycott sporeworks for their support of these practices. If I were the shroomery I would refuse the sporeworks advertising because theshroomery.com domain name is involved and to support the other paying vendors.
I for one am boycotting sporeworks until this is resolved.
I'd just like to point out that Sporeworks only sells the Sporebank supplies. This really has nothing to do with Sporeworks.
Ralph, I'm sorry that this has happened to you. I hope that you can get this resolved. I think what the Sporebank is doing is terrible business practices. You have every right to be upset with them.
I have a funny gut feeling that the Sporebank is owned and operated by STP. Something here doesn't smell right to me.

In reply to:
If they are an authorized reseller then sporeworks has very much to do with them.
That's true. For instance, if a Chevy dealer was behaving in such a way, I'm sure after the complaints started rolling in, GM would pull their vendor status. This is why there are authorized distributors of a product. It's usually intended to protect the consumer from shady companies.

You know that really is just complete bullshit. First theshroomery.org and thesporehaven.com and now there trying to leach off of ralphsterspores name.... This is getting rediculous.
I have to agree... they must be taking lessons from STP in bad ediquette and respect. This is just complete bullshit the way they are LEACHING from other ppls hard work like this.
When I first read the thread about them using theshroomery.org name I was blown away. And even more sorry to see Sporeworks pictues up their that they were supplying these guys spores and product.
Now I've been a long time fan of Sporeworks... Workman and I go along way back...and Psilocyber as well... and I've alwasy been a vocal supporter of them in the forums and in my business. I still send them at least 2 customers a week looking for exotic strains that we dont carry and they do. Sporeworks are one of the few vendors I speak highly of and carry a lot of respect for..... .......But if Sporeworks keeps supporting sheisters like this...............
I wont say anymore for now... but I would like to hear from Workman and Psilocyber on this and hopefully you guys will do the right thing.

You could most likely win that case.... I remember a really popular site called wallmartsucks.com - The site was full off ticked off walmart ex/employees compaining about wallmart.
Wallmart sued and won due to trademark infringment. If they had a case, many others here should too.
I dont blame you guys.

Leased -- my ass. Obviously a corperate off/shore front -- shell game.
Whatever the case?
Knowingly utilizing a clone domain name with the intent to defraud the legitimate owner of his identity, good name, reputation, business & income is fraud.
The lessee knowingly & openly utilizes it to commit that fraud. Which makes the lessee perfectly liable under US law.
No matter who owns the clone.

Glad you guys had a talk with Sporebank and they agreed to change those domain name listings. That was just wrong to try and capitlize off a few other vendors hard work and names. These spore businesses are small businesses between a few good people , not some hugh corporations making millions each year. Certainly people must still keep some moral values intact. Although we have seen some just dont care about these mushrooms for much more then the money alone.

well justice prevails...I thought that was pretty lame, but kudos for correcting it. You shouldn't have to secure all those domain names...you should just be original and not rely on typos.
