I saw a youtube news report about this. The police can't do much for you, as these blackmailers are not local.

Another option would be to send any said correspondence that shows he is being blackmailed to Predatorwatch, and ask them to remove his information. If they don't, threaten to sue their asses.

What are you talking about? Predatorwatch.ca doesn't post information as far as I can tell, it only has press releases of criminal cases and general information.

Predatorwatch.com doesnt exist.

Interesting.....I suspect they can be held liable for their content if they are charging to take posts down, and claim that it will be done within 30 minutes of a complaint (if you pay). Obviously there is no real person involved in doing that, because they can't "check" in that time frame, which means that it is a commercial activity.

Also, they label the victim as "offender", which is a label THEY have applied, not the person making the post, which makes THEM liable for the defamation.

The site that hosts this is http://www.prq.se/?intl=1 If you read carefully they specialize in free speech and it's unlikely they will remove you. If you read carefully they specialize in keeping servers secure and mitigating DDoS attacks. They most likely us Black Lotus to do so. This is an organized company that specializes in appealing to the type of people who request these services.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predators_Watch

If you surf the website in question, it sets a variety of cookies on your computer on where you've been and where you are going. It appears that it follows you. It's also likely Americans doing this given the option to use a Discover card to remove your profile. This is clearly what is known as ransomware.

They can claim free speech all they want, but free speech does not mean no liability. In this particular case it is the website that is attaching the label to the name, not the persons supposedly posting the information. They are making a claim of fact that they have made no attempt to establish is true, that creates liability for them. In spite of their claims in their FAQ, the law does not protect them.

That assumes that someone actually is posting information, and the site is not randomly fishing IDs off the internet. Also, they are charging a fee for a "service", that is not actually a service.

They can claim free speech all they want, but when something is identified as defamatory on their website, they have an obligation to remove it. Paying a fee is not part of that deal. If they refuse then they assume liability for the defamation and the victim can go after them for damages.

What they are relying on is that the people they post will not have the resources to do anything about it.

Also, they are probably located offshore so there is no recourse anyway.

It is basically extortion.
