February 25, 2013 To Whom It May Concern Dear Sir or Madam: As you know, Mr.

Chan has operated the website extortionletterinfo.com (henceforth referred to as ELI) for more than 5 years in conjunction with a handful of official team members, a well-known seasoned attorney (Oscar Michelen), and several other regular contributors. Many people support Mr. Chan as I do with our research, our words, and even financial donations. Through the ELI website, Mr. Chan has lent a voice and a communication platform to countless people that feel victimized. It is a simple matter of public record (verifiable through court filings, court transcripts and even publicly available copies of demand letters) that the overwhelming majority of the legal claims that ELI specializes in, as made by alleged copyright holders are largely without merit. Some claims that may have some merit are complicated by the fact that the demand is literally thousands of times what the content is worth. Many of the victims experience a sense of panic and powerlessness in the face of such demands made by alleged copyright holders and their lawyers. Such monetary demands might bankrupt a large portion of alleged copyright infringers, simply because of the large amount of money demanded, or through the potential expense of a professional legal defense. No less than three victims have even stated that they contemplated suicide due to the pressure and fear. Personally, I have remained largely anonymous to avoid possible reprisals. Thats how contentious this debate is. Mr. Chan and the ELI team respect copyright law, and the right for creative people to be paid for their work. Its common practice for the team to strongly recommend that a demand letter recipient not ignore the letter, remove the content that may be infringing on copyrights, and even to make a modest settlement offer. Mr. Chan has a solid track record of taking the high road. At no time has Mr. Chan made any threats towards Ms. Ellis, and he has in fact, removed any postings from the ELI website made by third parties that might be construed as crossing the line by some. Most recently, he did this even prior to Ms. Ellis complaint. He has also edited some posts made by others in the past (even unrelated to Ms. Ellis) out of an abundance of caution. Ms. Ellis certainly has the right to be paid for her work. However, the monetary amounts that she seeks and the very aggressive methods that she employs to enforce payment have created much controversy. In the past, sums of $7,500.00 dollars have been sought, and most recently a claim of $100,000.00 was demanded. One can understand how this is quite a contentious issue. Mr. Chan and the ELI community have the right to report on and assist people with these issues, and should be able to do so unmolested. Ms. Ellis has chosen not to use the court system or even

mediation to solve what she claims to be a legal problem. Because of this, all thats left is the medium of the Internet to make her point. Its plain to see that Ms. Ellis has a personal financial interest in silencing the reporting on such issues by Mr. Chan and ELI. I feel very disheartened that Mr. Chan finds himself in this position. However, I have every confidence that he will prevail based on the facts. Yours Truly, S.G. (A Concerned ELI Contributor)
