The author, Allen Harkleroad, has gone toe to toe with some of the largest multi-billion dollar companies on the planet over publicly criticizing their products and services on the Internet. Many times these companies used legal intimidation or threats in an effort to force him to shut down his sucks.com websites. Unfortunately for them the scare tactics didn't work as he understands copyright and trademark law intimately. You don't run a publishing company and magazines for ten plus years without understanding federal copyright and trademark laws. Allen uses that knowledge to his advantage and now so can you.

A Guide to Empowering Your Freedom of Speech on the Internet

You've exhausted every reasonable effort to encourage a company to do the right thing. You've become frustrated with an uncaring company that once they had your money could care less about you as a consumer. You have had a company decides to ignore you even though legally they should have fixed your problem.

Ask yourself these questions...

Have you ever been ripped off or had a problem with a company over their products or poor service?

Have you given up on getting them to do something about the problem because of poor or non-existent customer service?

Have you ever thought about setting up a sucks.com website but were hesitant to do it for fear of legal problems?

If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions then you should read this book.

My 56 page book is a guide to exercising your constitutional first amendment rights. It will help you to legally criticize companies via your own sucks.com protest website or blog.

In ALL cases Allen prevailed and each of the companies ended up fixing the problem or replaced the purchased product. It was a shame that Allen had to resort to a sucks.com website to encourage the companies to what they should have done to begin with.

One person CAN make a difference, I am living proof of that. Big business and huge corporations would rather you not read this book because it takes their power over consumers away. If read you no other book this year, be sure to READ THIS ONE.

Do not let companies abuse your first amendment right to criticize, you have a constitutionally protected legal right to complain in public. A sucks.com protest website is no different than a pulpit, pick sign or billboard (upheld by the US 6th Circuit Court).

Remember an educated consumer is a dangerous consumer

Don't believe me when I say I have been there and done that? All you have to do is search on your favorite search engine for "Allen Harkleroad Sucks.com" and you will find many references and news stories about my using a sucks.com to get companies to do the right thing. I have literally written and published 'THE BOOK' on using the Internet to protest bad business practices.
