So, you're doxxing the guy who owns the hosting service, but without any known connection to the dumb site (which is not defamatory, btw, at least not by the legal definition). Whether he owns the site or just the hosting company there's nothing on there that's legally actionable (on the site itself, I wouldn't know about their offline activities being legal/illegal). My advice is to be very careful doxxing people here or anywhere online. Depending on the states involved there can be legal repercussions.Skiprr wrote:Bear with me here; something interesting could turn up.
The domain name betsyriot.com was registered just 17 days ago, and it was registered using a domain privacy protection service to mask all ownership and contact information.
What is interesting, though, is that the webserver's IP address is reporting to be 172.93.105.34, and that's part of a very small block of addresses--only eight, in fact, fourth octet .32 through .39--owned by a Tim Owens and purchased through ReliableSite.Net LLC last April 15. ReliableSite.Net is out of Miami.
Mr. Owens address of record is 9805 Plaza View Way, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. That's a modest, 3-bedroom townhouse in Spotsylvania county, not far from I-95 and near the Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center. At 1,400 square feet, it was built in 1999 and last sold April 30, 2013:
But that may be about as close as you can come to the center of DC (just under 40 miles) for a purchase price of $142K.
Somewhat ironic: do you know what the tagline is for Spotsylvania County, Virginia? "Crossroads of the Civil War."
The thing is, Tim Owens does not own that modest townhouse. Evidently, he rents it. The owners are Harry and Danielle Franklin, of 23 Cannon Ridge Drive, Fredericksburg. They're the ones who bought it April 30, 2013, and still own it according to Spotsylvania County Real Estate Assessments.
What about those other IP addresses purchased by Tim Owens via ReliableSite.Net? None are live but the profane betsyriot.com.
And our new buddy? He's Timothy Ray Owens, and was charged August 3, 2015 with speeding 50 in a 35 mph zone. His personal website exists, but is only a placeholder: https://timowens.io/. He and a woman named Martha Burtis (University of Mary Washington) started a business a couple of years ago called Reclaim Hosting (https://reclaimhosting.com/).
Now, I'm sure neither Mr. Owens nor Ms. Burtis actually posted the profanity-laced betsyriot.com...but they certainly facilitated it and are accountable. One reason I know neither posted it is that they both seem very web-savvy, and no one with a lick of sense would leave entire webserver directories open to browsing: http://www.betsyriot.com/images/.
That said, were I one of the NRA's highly skilled lawyers, I might first look to Mr. Timothy Ray Owens about this defamatory website.
Sad, isn't it, that rabid, anti-social, anti-gunners are too stupid to realize that whatever you do on the internet leaves footprints.
