Web Service Contracts That Rip Off Consumers
Canceling service agreements with some popular lawyer marketing and web service providers can result in having your website (legally, even if unethically) stripped of content, images, hyperlinks, metadata, page titles, and even functionality of scripts.

If you signed an agreement that stated the company who created your website has the rights to "creations" or "works" (including flash, banners, content, site features, metadata) ... oops for you.

FindLaw Steals Blog Name and Destroys Credibility of Attorneys for a Buck ...What are the consequences of FindLaw’s folly in creating such sites? 1) it demeans the lawyers that paid them for listings, who are now associated with the scat-blog; 2) it diminishes the work of the professor-commentators at Writ that they currently use; and 3) it brings down the legal profession as a whole by legitimizing such conduct...

Bad Blogs?

...New York City-based lawyer Eric Turkewitz’s New York Personal Injury Law Blog shares the name with one sponsored by the Thomson Reuters legal information Web portal. He blasts the legal marketer for using popular law blog titles to promote lawyers in its directory rather than create legitimate forums to analyze and discuss the justice system.
...Marc Randazza, a San Diego lawyer and editor of law blog the Legal Satyricon, also harshly criticizes the "rip-off" blogs in a post titled "Find Law, Are You Really That Douchetastic?" He emphasizes the advice of legal blogger Scott Greenfield: "Anyone can blog, but not everyone should."
