		<description>Do I ever stop and think about the effect this has on him? Sure I did. Before I posted all this. I admit it was a completely premeditated act of exposure and public perpetual shaming. :-)

What ever gave you the idea he was sorry. All he&#039;s sorry for is getting caught.</description>

		<description>Hi Stefan.  I was the guy that emailed you earlier yesterday.  To a certain point your blog about this guy is pretty funny but do you ever stop and think about how you could ruin the rest of his life?  It might be funny to you now but ruining someone&#039;s life could have a serious impact on you later on.  If the guy tells you that he&#039;s sorry and won&#039;t do it again then you should let it go.  It&#039;s the right thing to do for both you and him.</description>

		<description>Hi Stefan, 
only just saw your site via a link from Whirlpool.com.au that only linked your
office page.

This clown (Andre) made me laugh so much I nearly fell off my chair today
I have not had such a good laugh for a long time.

Love your setup, and your views on credit cards mirror my own I do not have any and I pay cash for everything I buy (is annoying when hosting Co&#039;s &amp; domain registaries want a credit card). My setup is not as large but I sill have 6 machines running here
24/7 and a few that are used by guests.

I use winXP, debian and other linux OS&#039;s on my machines, love Mac hardware but not the inflated prices they have on their equipment, I repair PC&#039;s, Mac&#039;s and servers and provide IT services to community organisations here in Australia for free.

Keep up the good work and let us know more about this &quot;clown&quot;

Cheers Eddie

		<description>This looks like the type of guy who thinks he is always pulling a fast one over people because he knows a touch more then the average joe about fixing computers. I have seen this type before. They get so angry when someone like you exposes them for what they are.....nothing.</description>

		<description>Wow, I mean *WOW*

my reaction was WTF O_O and that was when I read the first page about the initial blatant copyright violation with demonstration and admission of no due dilligence and clear acceptance of liability (and that&#039;s being diplomatic I suppose).

Then DCMA notice for you violating the copyright of your own copyright? AAARGg my poor brain just fired a spring out of my ears

That&#039;s some serious deluded entitlement there.

That day in court&#039;ll be interesting :D but, like another commenter has said, I suspect you are in a queue of folk who&#039;ve had to deal with this individuals activities.</description>

		<description>He tried to do that???
And he thought it would work???
Not just a thief but a clueless one. The funniest kind!
He sure picked a good name for the scam with Aware Bear because awareness is now rising.

By the way, I&#039;m in love with your new setup! Andre should have waited so he could steal the new images and use them for more of his shitty Aware Bear ads.</description>

		<description>I voted for Andre &quot;Aware Bear&quot; Alves in the contest for the Biggest Liar(tm) Awards. Now there&#039;s an award he deserves. Finally a real award--or is that REWARD--he doesn&#039;t need to fraudulently claim he has repeatedly been awarded the people&#039;s choice award from the Democrat &amp; Chronicle.</description>

		<description>Stefan, you know where to find Andre.
You called him a clown.

Think about it.

He IS one!

Working with a traveling circus.
That&#039;s why he doesn&#039;t have a real address!?
Hehe.</description>

		<description>One one of the other sites of Aware Bear Computers he has an image with &quot;Voted #1 in Rochester for affordability, exceptional service and reliability&quot;.

Voted by who? Voted by what? Anyone here in Rochester? NOT.
Just like the other fake awards he attributed to himself.</description>

		<description>Peter, you&#039;re right. :-)

The first thing we did when that DMCA complaint arrived was laugh our collective behinds off. And the first thing that was clear was the shabby nature of the complaint, the inaccuracies (and lies), and of course the fact that Alves incriminated himself and provided what is essentially a full admission (and then some!) of guilt. I should actually thank him for that.

The second thing we did was get a full certified validation from the registrar that received the notice to determine the validity of the sender&#039;s source and got that confirmation within minutes. Aware Bear is going to be sorry they didn&#039;t get legal counsel but hey, such is life for those who dabble with the law while lacking every level of understanding of it.

What is even funnier, when I offered Aware Bear to leave all this to our respective attorneys they asked for the contact details of mine so they could provide it to theirs. I provided that and then they said they would only deal with a &quot;Board Certified Attorney&quot;. This was a very clear indication these Alves clowns were hopelessly clueless because that particular organization certifies attorneys in areas of business bankruptcy, consumer bankruptcy and creditors rights.

That being the case, Aware Bear must only have legal experience with bankruptcy issues, creditor issues, and such. Makes you wonder why that &quot;business&quot; is always using fake addresses, eh? They&#039;ll learn what a Bar Association attorney is, in court. Maybe it&#039;ll be an education after which Aware Bear might very well need a Board Certified Attorney for the aftermath of their financial demise.</description>

		<description>Holy smokes! Andre Alves, for all your self-incrimination services!

&lt;em&gt;“appeared and have been published over the years in, among other places, web sites owned by me and in literary and marketing materials in several types of media distributed to the public”&lt;/em&gt;

How bloody stupid must someone be if you write &lt;strong&gt;that&lt;/strong&gt; and then sign it swearing under penalty of perjury. Any lawyer he goes to for help in the case you&#039;ve got against him will tell him goodbye because that case is over before it starts. He&#039;s dug his own legal grave and probably doesn&#039;t even have a clue that he did! How cool is that if your opponent in court is that deranged. Maybe he can plead insanity? :-)</description>

		<description>In my experience, people that use fake home or business addresses and are hiding or running usually do so for good reason. Maybe he is also hiding from creditors or other businesses that pursue him over any wrongdoings. It takes considerable effort and experience to keep hiding. Could be that it is the only thing he&#039;s an expert at.

Hiding and moving from home to home is typical behavior for criminals and debtors. Alves could very well be living in his car for all we know.

Stefan, you could be one of many and at the back of the line.</description>

		<description>Poor Alves isn&#039;t just pathetic. He&#039;s also desperate. And it shows. :-)

When you get his ass in court can you take a camera along because I would love to see that footage. In particular I want to see the judge laughing his ass off. Please tell me you can do that. It would be an even funnier case than with Hans Reiser.</description>

		<description>When do you think this poor excuse for a thief Alves will learn that his underhanded slimeball action of filing an unintelligent DMCA claim only leads to increased exposure of those actions?</description>
